 Do Sony and Microsoft market third party games? 

Both of them, but especially Microsoft, foot part of the marketing bill for some select, AAA titles, somewhat like Nintendo did for Monster Hunter Tri in the West.  That's why the 360 logo comes out after many third-party blockbuster games, like Call of Duty.

Nintendo does advertise 3rd party titles as well...just not as much.  Largely because 3rd parties don't put up their big titles on Wii.  When they do, Nintendo supposrts them.  See Capcom with Monster Hunter 3.   Or Square Enix with Dragon Quest IX (DS title but point remains).

Yeah or No More Heroes or MadWorld or Little King's Story or Zack & Wiki.

They're exploding right now



Rumors indicate that it is planning on following the first approach, sticking a new, motion-sensitive controller onto an existing console. Our perspective is that this is the worst of the three options.

-Clayton Christensen back in 2007 already knew Move would be a bad idea

Apple is a great third party E-FUCKING-A because they don't have a first party.

And saying Wii will explode at $99 IS LIKE SAYING THE SKY IS BLUE.


the sky is blue? o.O :P

scientifically speaking... it isnt... its black, the water vapor in the atmosphere emit light when it by the Sun's rays causing it to shine displaying the blue we see with our eyes. So to be frank, the sky is not blue.

Listen, Bourtros, buddy, pal, you truly and honestly have a sympathetic ear in me.  You won't find anyone on this site who loves Little King's Story more than I do, and there are few that enjoyed Zak and Wiki like I did.  I think both of those titles should have at least doubled their actual performance, if not tripled. 

But even in my most feverish dreams, I never thought they were big titles, or even that they could ever BE big titles.  If you go back and read my posts about LKS in particular, you'll find I was gnashing my teeth about this cold, hard fact for months before the game's release, and then mourning the fact that I was right for months afterwards.  It makes me sad to say it, but the games you've highlighted would never have been big, even with more support from Nintendo.  I mean, Nintendo published Zak and Wiki in Europe, and it helped push LKS there too!  And yet both still failed to launch...

Those titles were doomed to bomb in sales, they would have done poorly on HD consoles as well.

I think it is selling very good for the pricetag it has.

What he meant is that the shitty EA Wii games would sold better if the console was at 99$...

Too bad, they should make better games instead of wanting the company to drop the price on a console that is selling extremely well.
