My brother has a 360, and I even own some games for it. So assuming that it's not getting the games for me is false.

And it's not a risk when they haven't actually lost money, and the flops are actually more numerous on the HD systems. The risk being greater on the Wii is flat out false.

And people haven't been given the chance to buy the games in as great numbers, because they haven't been given the games for so long. That's not the Wii audience, that's third parties making this so, which means they can undo it by actually giving the games.

Good! You got some 360 games now get the console. Maybe you'll be less bitter about not having more watered down ports on the Wii.

They have had numerous flops on Wii as well. RE:DSC, Dead Rising (I wonder why they didn't port DR2?!), those other obscure games I can't think of. Sengoku Basara was greeted with abysmal sales as well.

Well they aren't going to bring the games. Unfortunately, complaining on a forum isn't gonna change that. But I'm sure you'll agree Nintendo is more to blame than 3rd parties. I mean Nintendo put out the technicially inferior machine and 3rd parties can't easily port their HD games to it.

To be honest, the only head scratchers from Capcom (besides their outrageously ridiculous PR statements towards the Wii) include:

• Street Fighter 4 being on everything from the n-Gage to the original GameBoy and not Wii
• Spyborg's radical change in development due to "the fans".
• A Dead Rising port...with fewer features than the original
• Never releasing a proper resident Evil after RE4, RE:UC, and RE:DC sold a combined 4 million copies...that's right, a port and two spinoffs. In fact, they spent time creating everything BUT a new Resident Evil. They ported RE1 and RE0, both available last -gen, with no changes.

And I wonder, why did you say Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles flopped? According to Capcom, they expected it to sell 800,000 copies lifetime...right now, it is at 770,000; 96% of the way there.

I notice that very early on in a title's sales career, especially on Wii, people are quick to scream bomb early out of the gate...but then after a while when sales build, the haters suddenly disappear.

• Madworld was the biggest bomb of 2009, but now that its past 600,000 no one says a thing. Don't even bring up Vanquish...
• Wii owners don't appreciate art like Muramasa and Okami, but Muramasa outsold Odin Sphere and Okami sold more than the PS2 version.
• The Conduit supposedly made HVS no money, but it outsold 40% of the PS3 FPSs and 50% of the 360s...no bombs there...
• NMH was too hardcore for the Wii, but when ported to the PS3/360 they sold no better in Japan, even with additional features. Don't bother combining sales either, or I'll slap ya.

The Wii ain't perfect, there have been tons of bombs, but the 360 is no saint either. It really bothers me when people pretend like its software sales are always of some God-like caliber.
