Directly from the mouth of a God of War 2 developer.

D: any intrest of making a game on the wii? hahaha

YES! Even though I was less than impressed with my Wii, as well as a lot fo the games I have played, I would love to make a game on this system. I think there is a lot to be done with it. Plus...it’s like a BILLION times cheaper to make a Wii game versus a 360 or PS3 game...which is good. Making a 40 or 50 million dollar game is cool, I love making big games don’t get me wrong, but you have soooo many more masters with their hands in the creative pot when that kind of money is getting thrown around. Hopefully when the game industry becomes more comfortable with those budget numbers things will get better. I mean, we were just getting used to 20-30 million when the next gen came around and now big games are costing double. I heard MGS4 costs 70 million. Which actually sounds ludicrous to me, but in a way it doesn’t if you factor int he MGS4 and MGS online...and the tons of cinematics and long development time...it could get up to that.

But what do I know?

My "made up" number comes from a well known, well respect, developer who FOCUSES ON SONY PLATFORMS!

Beyond that, No More Heroes is the type of game that simply doesn't sell in Japan (the best selling games similar to it usually sell 50,000 to 100,000 units) and Zack and Wiki is the type of game which hasn't sold well on any platform since 1995 ...

Also, we got onto this discussion because of the quantity of high quality EXCLUSIVE games that would end up on both platforms; being released on the XBox 360 and PC to reduce the risk kind of proves my initial point.

Now to prove your point, please pick 1 third party Wii game that is in a popular genre, is high quality, and was heavily advertized which ended up having sales that would disapoint the publisher; if third party games are really bombing left and right on the Wii this should be an easy task.

the ps3 is not going to dominate anything sony is going to come in third place this gen get over it

Please stop spamming that. All we need is the Nintendo equivalent of CrazzyMan.

Whoever honestly thinks that the PS3 will out sell the Wii, is in fantasy land. Seriously. Listen, I'm all for PS3 will outsell the 360. I'll give you that, but come on, the Wii. The Wii is out of control. Just like that "one" developer said "Sony needs to apologize to their fans and have a redo" best quote I've ever heard from a developer. I believe it was the guy from valve who made "orange box" Not only did he say it, but intentionally made it public in game informer. I laughed my head off. k seriously, not happening. might as well end the convo. and by the way, these blockbuster titles aren't going to be so blockbuster in sales. At least not what everyone thinks.

Wii has this generation in the bag.  The only competeting consoles that have a chance of changing places in the console war is XBox 360 and PS3, but I doubt PS3 will be able to (if it ever does) pass by 2010 and even so I think Microsoft still has a victory since they are becoming more and more integrating into the gaming console industry.

Why would anybody in their right mind want the XBox 360 to fail?  I dont know if you've been keeping up with the news lately but America is headed for the recession and American companies like Microsoft are one of our few bright spots because other sectors of our economy are getting whooped up on.

If America goes into a recession, thanks in part to everything to failing automotive industry to failing gaming industry (Microsoft) then that will hurt every other country and gaming system since America is a huge part of the global market.

Once again cherry picking...

GoW was a new IP heavily advertised by Microsoft... Epic use their own engine which is on sale now... MS took care of the Marketing...

Halo 3, again was heavily advertised, and is a sequel of a sales success...

Killzone 2, heavily advertised, unknow sales since they haven't launch it...

I can do the "cherry pick" stuff too...

¿Do you want a good example? Lair, $24 millions, 280k copies sold (edit: Just in US and Jap, others Data is not here), ask Factor 5 how much do they love the PS3 now... but hey thats why some devs are making some multi-plataform and some shovelware for Wii...

atm it seems ps3 will always be behind wii which has much more mass market appeal.

so there is no similiarity with regards to the controls?  the nes using gamepad instead of joystick and the wii using motion controls instead of gamepad?
