The other issue here is the fact that Nintendo had the idea for a motion-sensing controller which would come out for the GC, but decided instead that it needed a whole new system to launch with because the GC would still be regarded as old news, even with a new motion controller.
If MS released this now, not only would it not catch on but it would be an admission of defeat and that every last bit of pro "hardcore" rhetoric MS has been spouting has been 100% bullsh*t.
"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks
