Cell phones do not get major support from third party developers, but consoles do. Theere are only so many developent resources that can be thrown around to make games, and those resources are being divided between the Wii, DS, PSP, 360, and PS3. The goal of 3 of those consoles is purely to get big name games on their system to help sell software. So long as the Wii and DS can steal games away from the there is direct competition. |
What are you talking about , mobile gaming is experience a massive amount of growth at the moment , with Ipod games , Xna game on the Zune , Nokia re-introducing the N-Gage , EA would release GTA IV on the mobile if they had rights to the game. The main resoun a developer won't resource for a platform isn't because of a lack of resources , it's because the cost and time put into making the software for the platform won't be worth the financial return. It's developing games for platforms that enable developers to attain more resources and experience growth at a faster pace. Your post makes it sound like there's a limited number of people able to develop gams like it some special skill or something. You call it "Stealing games" I call it developers choosing a more financialy viable route , I don't think the GoW developers would find it worth making GoW2 exclusive to the Wii neither would the makers of CoD4 find it worthwhile making CoD5 an exclsuvie Wii game. Like I said before THERE IS COMPETITION ( PLEASE READ FOR f**K SAKE) , there just isn't direct competition.
