??? Too many analogies. I mean its hard to defend the disastrous state of affairs regarding third-party Wii games but I think fleeing is ridiculous. There will be good third-party games. But those take years to develop. And they are very expensive to make. So it doesn't help that success is so hard to predict. On the PS360 you can make a great game for a great series like CoD4, GT, GTA etc. and you will KNOW that it will sell millions. On the Wii? Who knows. Nintendo is raking it in but other companies who made lots of money with the Wii did it with crap like Carnival games. There are not many third-party blockbuster for the Wii yet.

 

Actually,I didnt trust third party can do anytthing on the Wii right now after the bombardment of great titles heading to HD consoles this year when what Wii have was bunch of mini game/shovelware crap. Ubisoft making a new Prince of Persia game was one of them and what left us was Emergency Heroes... I only trust small developers can make decent job on the Wii.
