Phil Spencer: Sony buying third party games, all to do with money, not market share

Yep, Nintendo convinced all the third parties to make thier big games exclusive to Wii. 

Is this the first time in 3 pages someone brought up the Wii and its massive userbase advantage? If so, congrats you win the thread.

I wonder why Nintendo turned down free CoD sponsorship?

So, you are resorting to hanging onto Nintendo thread to defend poor misunderstood Phil.

The answer is: Because CoD and most other 3rd party AAA games are aimed at adults, which do not hold a very large MARKETSHARE within the Nintendo family. Even little children know that.

And the console being too weak to reach the developers' visions also had absolutely nothing to do with it. Activision totally wanted the frontrunner for their company to be gimped versions of CoD with severely watered down graphics, hampered multiplayer modes (whether local or online), no zombies, and no DLC. 

But Sony and MS moneyhatted!
