We have been hearing this for over a year now...I will believe it when I see it.

Some of you are ridiculously gullible if you buy his line about it taking years just to ANNOUNCE a AAA game on the Wii. 

I agree.  We keep hearing support will come.  Now even developers are saying it.  Yet we see nothing.  Yet we keep seeing new games being announced for PS3 and 360.  These are not games that were in development before Wii's runaway success.  These are games starting development now.  I am resigned to virtually all my games being Nintendo made games.  If big games by 3rd parties come then I will be quite pleased but the truth is I am not holding my breath.

Go back and read the previous page.

If you think for one minute that a PS3/X360 game announced this week only began planning within the past couple of months, you're absolutely and completely mistaken.

As for the bolded part...yes they were.   Every single game announced for PS3/X360 right now with any form of decent budget to it was in planning prior to August 2007 when Wii passed X360 worldwide.  If you are claiming otherwise, you're just amking assumptions based on...what exactly?

 

I doubt a game like Bioshock 2 was actually seriously planned 1 year ago.

The company obviously waited to see what kind of reception the first game would get before deciding to work on a second iteration.

I seriously doubt the development of the new Prince of Persia was started more than 1 year ago either seeing what kind of material they have provided to the public so far (conceptual art ?).
