I’m getting so used to the Wii being compared to the Xbox 360 + PS3 that I hadn’t thought how invalid a comparison that is. I mean it’s not like they’re partners or beer buddies or something is it. They are each competitors and their sales should be judged on their own merits. But of course when you do that, that means the Wii out sold the PS3 6x1 and the Xbox 360 5.9x1. That even scares the hell out of me.
If Ubisoft and the other Third Party developers don’t wake up and smell that coffee then we are going to see large software developers go belly up right next to the small ones who already have. Times are going to be tough and you don’t survive by ignoring or second rating the largest and far and away fastest growing market. That’s just dumb. They are going to have to quit just writing software to dazzle and amaze each other and start worrying about writing software to sell.
I’m no economist or graduate from Harvard Business School but the public has spoken. HD graphics are not a selling point beyond their core customers and motion controls are. I’m sorry if that’s not what they wanted to hear but it’s true. Sure they should still produce the beautiful HD games like Halo or GTA, as long as they control the budget. And so long as they put some of their real talent working on the Wii and not just the interns, the janitor and the designers who have already failed.
