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

I like Phil Spencer, but he's not telling the truth i this instance. He knows marketshare is everything. It gives you all the political power you need that money cannot buy in the industry.

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

Third party would've loved to port their third party over to Nintendo but the Wii was just too underpowered. They got a COD in World at War and that was pretty much it. As you said, they were forced to resort to exclusives which used the nunchucks because Nintendo couldn't furnish them with a platform that was on par in power. Its all about money and power. The Wii had that...but it just lacked the performance of the console itself. The Wii could've had a much larger and sustainable following if it was able to play the top multiplats as well.
