1700. that not even that bad.     The Wii isent going to magicly self destruct after Nintendo lauches its next gen. 

 

 

All valid points, not to mention the size of the current user-base.... sigh...

exactly, but somehow, for some unknown reason most devs dont see those facts...

I think developers don't want to. I just remembered today that in early 2007, when it was clear the Wii was going to be a hit and investors wanted support, third parties said it would take a year or so to make the games. In mid 2007, when Metroid Prime 3 was being released, several boards, sites, and some G4 shows, started the talk about how third party games didn't sell on the Wii.

The games were not even out yet, and they started saying the games weren't selling. So they were lying that we weren't buying games it wasn't even possible for us to buy. Holding back games, save for a few token games, just kept up the illusion.
