| Immortal said: Can you really blame people for thinking that third parties would eventually flock to the console that is way cheaper, way easier to develop for and way more popular, albeit much weaker? I mean, as long as their primary motive is profits, I'd've thought that third parties would go along making cheaper and graphically weaker games on the Wii instead of putting as much effort into the HD consoles as they did. |
Yes, that is one argument from the famous bingo board.
A reasonable person saw that wii was doing worse than hd consoles on third party games even when they had much higher install base, a logical conclusion would be that they aren't going to switch to wii. When this point was made, the responses were like "lol hardcorez hater, mario&sonic/whatever sold just fine! moving goalposts much? Check the launch aligned graph, third parties are doing better on wii than hd consoles".
And as someone else already said, online was a decent factor this gen.
