Why the Wii still won't see so many multiplatforms games

I think alot of you are forgetting my original point, I invite you to reread it.

I never claimed in my first post in this thread that third party exclusives could not be successfull on the Wii.

And I actually expect to see more of them being released in the next year and for some of them to be very successfull.

My whole point was around the fact that it is unlikely that many Western developers( Japanese ones might be different) will in the future release their big franchises on PS360 AND Wii.

Mainly because of the expectations of the PS360 crowd...

So each time a game doesn't get a Wii Port ( RE5, BGE, SF4,....) Wii owner shoudn't take it as a slap in the face, from a developer point of view it most often doesn't make sense ( or would require to develop a Wii version from the ground up). 

 

 Resident Evil 5 is a japanese game. Capcom is a japanese developer.

 

It is but it's one of the few Japanese games that actually makes the majority of its sales outside of Japan.

Especially with the success of the movies, there is wide awareness and expectations around the game in NA and Europe.

Instead of separating Western from Japanese developers I should have separated franchises based on where they generate most of their sales ( Japan or non Japan).
