Sony has been the company championing independent and small games on the PSN without the restrictions of XBLA. There's no doubt that there's a sea of crap that the good titles can get lost in on XBLA though. For every Alien Hominid or Rez HD there's a sea of crappy 80's arcade games. Of course, do any of those statements jive with the exitence of Nintendo's Virtual Console? The VC is nothing but retro and it does huge numbers. WiiWare's actual competition is on its' own platform in the form of the VC, in my mind. |
I think they mean that Wii Ware will be seperate from VC, not mixed together with classic titles. That way, new original games don't get so easily lost in the sea of titles, whereas, apparently (I'm actually not familiar with it) on XBLA, it's al mixed together. Probably so MS can pass off some of those old games as new titles to unaware consumers since MS initially balked at the idea of playing "old games" on the Wii.
If these guys want real success, they'll each take turns kicking Nintendo in the ass until a harddrive, or harddrive support (with direct access from an expandable, customizable Channels Menu) finally appears for the Wii.
