I hear what everyone here is saying and I know that I am in a minority...but I stand by my opinion.
Quantity of games doesn't mean best 3rd party support. Just because games are cheaper to make and they keep coming in flocks doesn't mean that Bungie, Sqaure, Capcom, Konami, Epic...etc will put their best people to work on Wii titles. Sure they will release some fun games on the wii that took a weekend to make and will sell well...but these studios won't invest the big bucks in to developing a game like Resident Evil 5 from scratch on a visually and feature wise inferior platform.
If Resident Evil 5 or GTA4 is made for the wii and then ported to xbox360 and ps3 it would be a huge step backwards for the developer.
Also, how many of you that are posting here against my post actually own a ps360? All I see is "Wii code:...." in most of your signatures. How would you know anything about what good online component, hard drive and HD graphics are worth if you don't own the consoles you are arguing against.
I'm not saying that wii will not get great 3rd party support and lot of games. It really depends on your definition of 3rd party support. Bee Movie game is 3rd party support sure and it perfect for the wii...
It also may start getting the big titles like call of duty 5 and Resident evil 5...which is great. But those titles will always be inferior on the wii compared to ps360. Just because Wii gets rock band...doesn't mean it has the Rock Band worth playing out of all the consoles. Wii will have its own party type games as that is what it does best and probably a lot of good support as its selling rally well. But it will never be looked like 3rd party leader for devs...more like a quick cash grab. Wii fans will hear a lot of news that goes like "Sega/Capcom remaking old title for wii...". This is 3rd party support too right...
I bought the wii when it came out and was intrigued by the controls. I could have played a game called "rub one off for winnie the poo" and I would have thought it is amazing. However a year later, wii controls do not fascinate me the same way. It has become a routine as every game is using the controller the same way.
Racing games make you twist it to the side and tilt, adventure games get the nunchuk going, and shooters...well other than Metroid which was great...none of them work at all.
So now that the initial wow factor of the wii mote is starting to calm down it is time for gamecube turbo to show off what else it has in its card deck... I'm still waiting for that next gen experience where I can trash talk to people while i beat them in brawl...download demos of new games...play VC games with a freind from his house...and put the 58 inch 1080p TV to good use while playing wii games.
And I don't think Nintendo will bother with these upgrades as they are making tonnes of cash as is...leaving 3rd parties in the tough spot of making the same exclusive mini game based games over and over or making visually and game play wise inferior ports on ps360 games.
Also keep in mind that PS3 and 360 are splitting the market larger than wii alone and multiplatfomr titles are all the rage. If anyone thinks that DMC4 would have sold more on the wii rather than ps360...I think you are special.
Also...why is bluray considered the next gen when it comes to movies when all it offers is a prettier picture? Silence of the Lambs is not a better movie cause its on bluray... Yet when it comes to videogames, you people claim visuals don't matter. Sounds like some people here are in denial or hypocritical on the graphics issue...
