Wii Game Selection = Lose/Lose/Lose/Lose/Lose/Lose/Lose Situation

Interesting that the SW: The Force Unleashed only has dual mode in the ... Wii version.

So not all good things go to other consoles.

More importantly, look at it from the perspective of the developers for one minute. They backed the HD consoles and see the HD consoles with the majority of systems sold. Combine with (inaccurate) anecdotal evidence that the Wii does not sell software as well as the other systems, and you can see their predicament. They backed the HD consoles because no one outside of loyalists, fanboys (fangirls) and employees thought Nintendo had a chance this generation, and the sales is proving them wrong.

What is going on right now reminds me of this story -- how to some the metric is everything but sales. http://www.myfoxspringfield.com/myfox/pages/Entertainment/Detail?contentId=6665460&version=2&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=7.1.1

'Guitar Hero' Escalates War With 'Rock Band'

News from the virtual world:

-- HERO WITH THE WORKS: "Guitar Hero" may have reinvented the rhythm game, but let's face it: Over the last year, "Rock Band" has outperformed it in every regard except sales. No one's been expecting "GH" publisher Activision and developer RedOctane to settle for second best, so it's no surprise that this fall's edition will add drums and vocals, just like the competition.
