1. What makes you think we aren't pissed at the other companies that did that?

2. The iPhone isn't really a gaming machine, despite how much companies want it to be. The Wii would just make it look like SF IV, at the level of TvC.

1. Like I said, get over it. Capcom isn't the only publisher that decided Wii isn't worthwhile for them.

2. Even if its not a gaming machine It apparently does a damn good job selling games. Not particularly good games, but they sell.

Wii didn't get SFIV, get over it. If you choose to not buy a HD console get used missing a lot of great games.

1. That's not an answer, as that just makes more publishers and developers guilty, not Capcom less guilty.

2. They aren't selling games are comparable prices.

3. That's just the bullshit fallacy that developers call the shots and the audience just has to take it. We give them our money. They don't pay us.

1. If the Wii was at par with the HD platforms technically it would get a ton of support via ports. To bring an HD games to Wii they basically have to rebuild it. Look at CoD Black Ops for example, it uses the same engine but they obviously had to do a lot of work to get it on the Wii and it still sucks in comparison. Also selling significantly less.

Capcom also doesn't have much interest in developing games for a single platform as most of their console games are multiplat. Its quite simple to understand why they don't care about the Wii. I blame technical inferiority mostly.

2. The prices are lower and so are the development budgets.

3. Well show the video game industry you mean business! Stop buying games and consoles period. That'll show em'!

Um, I've stopped buying Capcom's games, as well as EA's games, so I am following up on my words. But making it all video games is a strawman.

As for rebuilding for the Wii, so what? That's hypocracy, considering all the work that goes into an original game for the other systems. Activision showed it can be done, and still make money even with less sales. So more money is, and it might be a huge leap of logic, more money.
