I repeat what I stated a few months back ago.
One of the advantages Wii has over the HD consoles, as many developers have noted, is it's cheaper to develop game for.
One of the disadvantages of the Wii is it's cheaper to develop games for.

If the Big N want to make a game with a lot of work put into graphics then of course it would put all their effort to max out their own console.(that's a no brainer) But if a third party want to invested into maxing out a console graphics then they have a choose of which console they want to max out. More likely they would choice to max out PS3/360 rather than spending the same effort in maxing out the wii knowing to PS3/360 owners graphic matters more than wii owners.

Either way there are only a few game of any given console where the developer spend the resources to max out the console's capabilities.


That was then, this was now. Game designers don't have the final say in what the priorities are, stockholders do and that is going to force a sea change in games. With the numbers and momentum that the Wii has, to continue putting all there best people only on PS360 games will be a suicidal act and one that the stock holders will not stand for. Remember that very few if any of those stockholders are gamers or own a console but their grandchildren do and it is most likely not a PS3.
