The single platform cometh

We've been hearing crap like that since the Wii wowed the world with its success but as of late the biggest third party titles are else where. And the promised support from third party developers has been little more than awkward attempts at trying to figure out what the Wii demographic wants instead of the games we want that they're giving everyone else.

Guitar Hero? We already have it. Spider-Man? Because that's a great game franchise to have. Transformers? Is that a joke? Shrek? Oh boy Shrek! Movie Games are the best! Call of Duty? We didn't Get 4 and 3 was a joke. Tony Hawk? Oh boy, who care about DMC4, RE5 or COD4, we're getting Tony Hawk.

 You are aware that games aren't developed in 6 months right? By the time developers started to realise that the Wii was a success, they were already 1-2 years into the development of their big titles for the two systems they thought were going to be the winners this time round. Given the Wii has significantly different specs to the PS3/360, they can't just turn around and do a port there and then without major quality sacrifices or significant delays.

 I'd expect to start seeing some quality 3rd party games by the end of this year and definitely a lot more in 2009.
