I don't think there will be much gamers who buy a Wii for games like: Madden, Spiderman or some other casual game that's multiplatform.

I think you should wait a bit longer before making that assumption.

Spiderman was a trully crappy game, and particularly on the Wii, because it was rushed to launch with the movie. I'd say, from the looks of it, a more fair comparison will be Harry Potter.

Madden Wii, wasn't outsold by the PS3 version by much (for a publisher, installed base is only a means, not an end - that's selling copies), got good reviews (generally better than both PS3 and 360), and came out late (as did the PS3 version). I'd say we should wait for the '08 games before completely writing off games like Madden or FIFA on the Wii.

All these games have the potential to be big on the Wii, but may "flop" as well. I don't think we can know for sure which one of those it'll be just yet.


Godfather PS3 did 2 times better than the Wii version. Sports titles and Movie games are almost equel. Small advantage fo PS3. Like Spiderman and Madden. Although Pirates World's End did 3 times better on Wii than PS3 version. So yea it's too early to say.

I don't think those games will flop on Wii. These games are popular in general and will always sell fine on whatever system. PS3/360 will be the focus for these games. PS3 is almost equel against Wii on absolut numbers. On relative numbers PS3 is outselling 2:1. Same goes for 360. Consider 360/PS3 are still not on the sweet spot of there console price. Casual gamers like these games, but think 360/PS3 are too exansive.

I don't think it's impossible that the relative number will end up 3:1. But it's only a speculation.
