So 8 first party and 28 notable third party games by the end of 2007 = 36.
Today Nintendo promised 100 new Wii games in the US by the end of 2007 (on top of the current 60 games, although Metacritic lists 69 Wii games that are out right now), so that leaves 64 more games.
Are they really going to be able to release 100 new Wii games in the next 5 1/2 months?
That's roughly one new game every 1.65 days.
MS releases tons of games, yet there have only been 213 games released in the US on the 360 in 20 months (again based on Metacritic), and that includes every Live Arcade game. That's one new game every 2.85 days.
What do people think of this promise, is the goal of 100 new Wii games attainable?
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
