So stating actual fact is now trolling, thats a new one.

I would like to make a correction though, since Tri is publsihed by Nintendo, there is only one 3rd party Wii title in the UK 40 not two, that mistake is mine.

Alright. That's enough.

Train wreck, enough is enough. Stating fact? Don't give me that bullshit.

You have this incessant habit of putting down the Wii and 3rd parties especially at EVERY SINGLE CHANCE YOU GET. What do you have to gain? Is someone paying you? You sound exactly like a viral marketer of some kind whose sole purpose, besides commenting on a few "HD" games here and there, is to bash the Wii and denounce development for it.

You think I'm lying? Check your history. I had some time; didn't have to look far:

True Train Wreck

“Wii 3rd party horrible this week, my stars.

Just Dance, Sonic Olympics (I really don't want to count this), Sonic Racing, Red Steel 2 and Ben 10 in top 50.”

 

"Its starting to appear that no Wii third party title is safe. THQ must have been busy with Arc and Natal to make it multiplat. E3 can't come fast enough."

 

"Making a game that will cater to the HD twins seems like a logical idea, I would not be surprised to see them scrap the Wii version, thus the long release date. Probably going to have to rebuild from scratch."

 

"Magna Carta 2 is better than 90% of the the RPGs Wii offers, needs I point you to FFCC TCB?"

 

"Why are people surprised to see a COD game sell, call of duty on the Wii has a history, both million sellers+, the call of duty name sells on the name. Even the W@W for the ps2 is almost a million and I didn't even know that game existed."

 

"It, to me at least, just underscores how well 3rd party titles are doing on the PS/360 compared to their wii counterparts, most 3rd party developers would die to have the numbers that COD is running emulated on the wii"

 

"If you own only a PS3/60 system or you focus your gaming attention to those systems, then the future looks bright. You got motion coming and more third party support along with awesome first party support in Microsoft and Sony. If your a wii only owner, you future is bright, when only talking about nintendo games and a few 3rd party games sprinkled here and there."

 

"a 33% increase is not a big jump.  Considering the increased popurality of the series in japan since the ps2 iteration one would think the wii version would do better, if anything it should tell capcom to keep it portable."

 

"People who are not considering the most recent sales of Wii RPGs and future wii RPG titles will find another thing coming. Any Kingdom hearts, Dragon Quest, et al for Wii will be reconsidered."

 

"So lets recap.

Ubisoft losing money, HD titles seem to be doing fine (we dont know for sure) but Ubisoft went out of there way to highlight Wii instability as a factor in them losing money.
EA Montreal shifting focus away from Wii titles due to Wii unpredictability.

Maybe its me but I sense a theme brewing...

 Titles range from the ultra casual to the hardcore, these are not medicore titles, if anything its show that the company is trying to find a Wii niche, but is having a hard time. Now Ubisoft knows that if they release a HD Tom Clancy, Assassin Creed or Far Cry, they can bank on them selling 2+ million.  Being consistant has its advantages"

"Good to see that EA finally recognized that Wii development is not as lucrative as everyone thinks and will spend more time developing on consoles where they can sell their games and where 3rd party titles tend to thrive.

As more time passes you will see more established publishers follow in the same steps and all the Wii will be left with is Nintendo first party and games like Crazy Chicken Tales."

 

 

Now I could've gone farther but I figured that was just about enough; no more evidence is necessary. Stop trolling.
