Considering that it would lower budgets, get a larger audience years ago, and still have superior graphics on multiplatform versions on the other systems? Yes.
It is BS to insist developers get to call the shots, ignoring the will of the customers, and the realities of economics. You insisted before that it was the customers' fault for expecting Wii support, not developers for refusing to give it. That shows you have fallen for the myth of the artist being superior to the patron. |
Lower budgets?? they would have lost more money, then the HD gamers would have been screwed. You think these companies have an endless supply of funds they could throw around??? If you would have went your way the HDs would have gotten less or no support and as an HD gamer that would have sucked. So im glad it went down the way it did. Its not their fault that Ninty made a system that was incompatible with what they are doing. Its not BS for devs to call the shots, there not slaves, its BS for Ninty to think that devs would fall in line and just support them without Ninty even trying to get them.
FYI the WII is getting 3rd party support, i count 37 games coming out for Wii this year.

Pretty much this. They invest a lot in new engines that Wii can't run, while PS3/360/PC can and then become the largest install base. Now I'm sure that if Wii can handle those engines we could have seen a large third party support on Wii. Is good to see that Wii U can.
