So if they are driven by money is that why when the Wii was destroyig the 360 and PS3 in sales, the wii got no decent third party games?
No it was because it was underpowered and would require games to look like arse to be on the wii to. Effectively having 2 completely different teams making the same game with completely different engines.

Because third parties were expecting the PS3 to win like the previous two gens, so they started developing games for PS3 at the beginning of the gen. Then when it didn't sell X360 saved their ass.
That and third parties don't want to put their games in the system with the strongest (sales wise) first party games (and compete with them) unless it's completely necessary.

Thats clasping at straws.
Developers dont want to build 2 completely different engines for the same game. And devs known for visuals and epic stories arent going to choose the Wii as a console to developer for. Otherwise the PC version would suffer MASSIVELY more than they have this gen.

See my first point, they already spent money building engines for the PS3. So they decided that not developing games for the Wii was the most profitable option.
Epic stories doesn't need top graphics. If a game dev need top visuals, PC have been always there.
For ages most PC games have been PC exclusives. Why they have to be in consoles now?
Is it so hard to understand that every company wants to face the less possible competition (which should lead to more money)?
If third parties are driven by system power and not money, why XBOX got less support than PS2?
|
Because alot of people cant be bothered with the PC hassle.
Xbox vs PS2 is nothing like wii vs 360 or wii u vs these specs. Completely different.
Nintendo wont win over the PS xbox crowd tey are aiming for right now with the underpowered machine they have. I'm one of those people they are aiming for this. And theres no chance with those specs I'm taking the plunge.
Im telling you, Nintendo will be missing out on games due to power by 2014.

PC hassle have been much worse before. Remember the days of DOS games, with 6+ diskettes, passwords in the manual that your mother throw into the trash can (now THAT was a DRM) and Sound Card problems? Now it is much easier, yet they decide to go PC/console multi now. Why they want to reach those people now?
Yes, Xbox vs PS2 was completely different from Wii vs X360. Unlike X360->Wii, PS2->Xbox ports were piss easy to do, yet very few devs did it, which supports my theory of money over power even more.
Not every PS3 or X360 owner is interested in system power. Look at the N64 or Xbox sales. When where those "specs are king" guys then?
Nintendo will be missing games by 2013. Power will be one of the many excuses.
