A game with low development cost, little marketing, and small developer expectations could exist on any system (although yes, it's considerably more likely on the Wii than the 360/PS3), and unless we know all three factors, it's very difficult to know what is what. For example, what if Nintendo released Wii Sports 2?

Bod, as always I love your point but isn't that the point of XBLA and PSN? The idea is not to mandate expensive games; it's to bring a different experience to your console. Perhaps MS and Sony aren't getting that to the public enough but the idea is there (though not done as well as Nintendo, I might add).

The problem is... a very large percentage of gamers don't put their consoles online. So these cheaper games are at a loss to them. I don't even have my console hooked up online, of course i own most of the VC games physicaly so there is little reason too. Though my other friend also didn't have his 360 hooked up online despite loving online play because there just wasn't a connection fast enough in his area to do it.
