What will happen to 3rd parties that ditch the Wii and continue on ps360?

What will happen to them is they will face development cost many times higher and be selling to user base many times smaller. Which will greatly reduce their revenue to invest in more games. Its just a bad business decision.

With Konami, Epic and Ubisoft etc they will no longer be top dogs and will have the developers who do make quality games for the wii take over their spot in the gaming world.

Ubisoft enjoyed sales of nearly 7.5m with Assassin's Creed.

Konami has MGS4 coming in two weeks.

Epic has enjoyed massive sales with Gears and has licensed their engine for use by some of the highest profile developers out there (Mistwalker, 2k Games, BioWare, Square-Enix, etc.).

I don't understand why Wii fans can't seem to acknowledge that some companies are going for something different and can succeed without the Wii being the focus of their plans. This isn't the sixth generation anymore where you had to develop for the PS2 or you died because it had over 2/3rds of the market.

This generation, the Wii is selling roughly PS3+360 numbers every week. Companies are finding a lot of success by multi-platting games between the two consoles. These doom'n'gloom forecasts for companies focusing on high definition games are becoming ridiculous.

Agreed :)

Like I said earlier Activision and Ubisoft had record years in 2007 without focusing on the Wii. We could turn back to the Wii fan and ask : why would they want to change a winning formula ? ( change on success is not something the shareholders will push for, to answer the shareholder argument).
