Wii does not have a good library, wiis 3rd party failure will equal retailers focusing on PS3/360 alot more. As far as momentum, um with what will Nintendo keep it up with ? People will buy the system with the most diverse/most well known franchises as they always have. |
Third party publishers really don't care how their titles sell in comparison to Nintendo's titles, they only care about the return on investment and how well their titles met their expectations. Ubisoft couldn't care less that Rayman: Raving Rabids was outsold by Wario Ware and Mario Party 8, or that Red Steel was outsold by Metroid Prime, they only care that these two games each represented one of the best return on investments of the year and that they (easily) surpassed their expectations; the same holds true of most publishers who have produced games which were not shovelware.
