Other M (as in allowing it to be made in the first place, and not treating the reaction as a reason to disown it) showed Nintendo is being infected with that as well. |
If your console can't use the current game engines (Unreal 3, Frost bite 2.0, Cryengine 2 & 3) used by developers then how can you expect them to develop games for you? Also with such a low attachment rate who would make a Wii game, when they could be selling on PC/360/PS3 at the same time (why would they waste their time when they can make a lot more just ignoring the wii).
It's not that the Wii is a bad console, it just doesn't have very big returns for developers compared to being a cross platform PC/360/PS3 game...
L.A. Noire got 214,579 xbox + 208,503 PS3 = about 550,000 this week if it was a Wii game about it would get 160,000 - 200,000 As you can see being unique and innovative can be a problem.
