| Man said: im just wondering how they predict the wii will sell the most, but still refuse to put their best efforts into wii games? |
2008 will be a good year for the Nintendo Wii sales wise, but many think the long term perspective isn't really that good. Codemasters from last week's interview:
“You also have to look at the technology and understand that the Wii is essentially Gamecube 1.5, and so given that it’s Gamecube 1.5 it's not unreasonable to assume that in the timeframes that I’ve alluded to earlier that you would have a Wii 2 within a relatively short period of time.”
The PS2 was the best selling console of 2006, but many devs moved their best efforts over to the 360 / PS3 in 2006 looking ahead towards the future. The Wii's sales strenght is that due to the GameCube beind discontinued for a while (kids dominated its userbase according to Nintendo) and the platform appeals to many different kinds of people, some games are by far mostly appealing to kids and/or female, other games are by far mostly appealing to hardcore users.
