Because Nintendo considered exactly this sort of thing for the Wii, and decided that the Wii remote was superior. What exactly during this generation was there to change their mind? Face it, the only reason to believe such a rumour is because you hated what happened this generation and want to live in the PS2 days again.


Extreme lack of 3rd party support even after Wii had nearly 50% of the entire market.

Read my thread in my sig regarding Nintendo.

 

Contrasting with the high degree of third party support nintendo has been loving for generations, of course.

NES and SNES were like Wii in that they dominated their generation, however, they also dominated 3rd party support as did PS1 and PS2. Wii is the first generational winner to be pretty much ignored by 3rd parties. What's the only differentiating factor in all of this? Wii was drastically different in controller, architecture, and raw power. 3rd parties simply didn't want to have dev teams only working on Wii while others worked on PS360. Costs associated with that simply were not financially viable for them. (this is me thinking like them, not how I would have wanted or thought they should)
