BTW, it could just be blanket stupidity on developer's parts. Werekitten seems to like cherry picking facts to make the anti Wii stance viable.

And if you think they can't just be dumb in massive numbers, look at the US auto industry in the 70s and 80s versus Japan. You can see the same stupidity by companies there as in here.

Hanlon'z Razor: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.


So Nintendo have no fault at all in their relationship with 3rd parties? Its always somebody else's fault, isn't it. Even the marvelous Malstrom admits that Nintendo makes mistakes, do you seriously not see the incredible naivety in assuming a huge company to always be infallible?

Of course Nintendo are not faultless as far as 3rd parties, and when looking at 3rd party attitude in general, I agree with several (though not all) of your arguments and some of werekitten's, but this is not a general "why 3rd parties neglect the Wii" thread, this is a "why EA messes up 99% of its games on the Wii" thread, and in this case imo neither your nor werekitten's arguments explain well why what we see is happening. EA is not ignoring the Wii, it is mishandling all of its efforts on the Wii in a wide variety of ways as already previously detailed in this thread by saviorx (and there are things he didn't mention, e.g. have you actually seen the cover art for "Dead Space Extraction"? It's as though someone wanted to make extra sure no one would dare buy the game onm a whim if they saw it in the store )
