Basically every third party PS3 game has a 5 GB install. That is a pretty big problem!

But HDDs expand...

did you hear the story of the man who went down to the Amazon to find the mythical tribe where the women have vaginas 12 inches deep and 4 inches wide. So he asked the men there how they could ever have sex with vaginas like that. So what did they say? They said the vaginas expand... So you see, no matter how big something is you wanna put in something. That something can always expand.

If hatmoza doesn't believe in upgrading HDDs, then neither do I!

Also, I want to meet these men!

Bull. The third parties need to look at themselves and ask why they have so few deca platinum sellers as Nintendo does.

The leader is not beholden to those that aren't doing as well. All the companies are beholden to the customers. The sooner third parties realize that the sooner they will know how to make hit games on Nintendo systems again.

Yes, even the 3DS will not give them hits as long as they act as though they 3DS audience will do what they want them to.

The other consoles aren't blessed with a manufacturer that is also the best in the business at making games, therefore the third parties are on an equal footing with them.  If Sony and Microsoft had Nintendo's hit record, third parties would probably struggle on their systems too.

Nintendo in recent times has struggled to attract high talent 3rd party development studios to their home consoles. Obviously something is happening behind the scenes. Perhaps it is something they are doing or perhaps it is something they are not doing. You can't assume that it is due to an ingrained hatred of Nintendo platforms by outside developers and publishers.

@Badgenome: They are in the Amazon. Go get em tiger!

Or they might still do well, if the games were good. Gran Turismo was still a hit series on the PS2, and that didn't stop GTA. GTA games on the Wii thus would not be hurt by the other hit games (as long as they were true games in the vein of III, not experimental games they stupidly think would sell just by the GTA game and reviews the mainstream doesn't read).

Grim? What I get from the first few sentences of the OP was that PS3 Move ends up saving the Wii.

The rest tl;dr

Im so sick of hearing the evil "3rd party argument" no one is that afraid of Ninty thats ridiculous. SNES era no had problems selling games. Sin and Punishment is a Ninty game that flopped so not every Ninty game is a gaurented to sell millions. The real enemy is the "casual audience" the ones that buy Wii just for Fit, SportsREsort maybe a Mario here and there and NOTHING else. If those are the games that sell guess what?? thats what companies will make. Of course there going to make a bunch of exercise and minigame compilations look how well WiiFit and WiiSports do. fact is 3rd parties give more support to Wii than any other console. IS is good support??? I dont think so but some people will. IMHO theres nothing any of us can do, its not like we can go around and try to convince our moms, GFS, grandmas etc to put that carnival game down and play Conduit or whatever. 

On a dollar by dollar basis Wii gets far FAR less support. Modern Warfare 2 cost over 100 times as much as Carnival Games.
