Dispelling the myth: The Wii market is (NOT) bigger than the HD twin market

ding ding, we have a winner folks!

But I still think the reason for it is something we can argue a bit.

Is it because the market was poorly supported, and thus the twins "stole" sales off the Wii, or was the PS360 version simply going to be the better choice regardless, bottom line, and hence people chose what was better?

We need more data maybe to slice it.

It's neither to me. The market had support from... outsourced crap and PS2-grade downports. There would be more of a market if the market wasn't being given cow dung every time. If developers had made the effort to make at least some good Wii version, even if they weren't as good as the other versions, the situation wouldn't be as bad as it is. And yes, it is possible to make a good Wii version. It's been done before. It simple takes something I like to call "smart design choices" and "effort". Both of which aren't so dependent on raw power.

I understand your argument, but does it apply to COD, for example? Do you think the Wii version of COD was no good?

Sometimes if effort is put on both, the HD version ends up with the edge, especially in the case of shooters due to the nature of the game and the need for higher precision in graphics (to hit smaller targets).
