The only split was between developers that like to make loads of graphics and cuts scenes, and gamers in general.

There are no "gamers in general", and there was definitely a buyer split - which, yes, was partially caused by developers, but only because about half the home console gamers on the planet followed the games they wanted to play. Pretending that the third parties don't know their own audience is preposterous, and it's even more preposterous to suggest that they don't go (too far) out of their way to serve that audience.

That's a very dubious number claim.

And third paerties have been loosing money, and few games that sell with any legs, which does mean they don't know their audience. Plus thinking they didn't go out of their way is the truth, or else they would have supported the Wii audience as well as the audiences on the other systems, instead of releasing games with increasing sameness, increasing budgets, and/or increasing development time, when the games with any legs have shown that is not what gamers want.

how is it a dubious claim?? HD consoles have a higher install base than Wii does. And the gamers dont want sameness, tell that to COD
