| mrstickball said: I think the issue is that everyone believes that we'll see a PS1-like attrittion of top titles to Wii-exclusivity. Please name one game that's sold 1,000,000 copies worldwide that's getting it's franchise sent to Wii-only. My point? The major trend is that companies are jumping single-system exclusivity left and right. Thus far, the only major game I can think of switching is Dragon Quest IX. Outside of that, any game has been announced on 360 from PS3, vice versa, or going all 3. |
Unlike the PS3 and XBox 360 few developers devoted their best teams to Wii projects initially so there won't be many really high quality third party titles in 2007; most of the known third party titles are rapid ports of games or projects that were designed around what developers thought the Wii's userbase would be. Since E3 2006 (and with how well the Wii has sold to date) it is likely that established teams are now working on original Wii projects that will be released in 2008. This 'movement' of developers will primarily hurt the PS3 because it is likely that publishers who have been burned by releasing games exclusively to the PS3 (Namco with Gundam Musou comes to mind) are likely going to reassign these teams to producing Wii projects; with how much smaller a Wii development team is it is plausable that these existing PS3/XBox 360 teams may be broken into smaller Wii teams with varied results.
