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.

yes, I guess it was back then when all the third party games doesnt sell on the wii began, at launch nobody believed the wii could reach massive success, so the low support was "normal" by then, but then...? The wii was selling like crazy but the devs ignored that fact, resident 4 sold very well, metroid prime 3 sold a lot, zelda sold another bunch, but they didnt see those facts, they decided to wait/ignore the console. I think is probably too late for many of them, maybe Capcom could have something, but thats it... Now the question is, if nintendo reveals a wii2 with graphics and raw power ala ps3/360 or above, will third party support be as it is now with the HDtwins? 

 My bet, no...
