Forums - Nintendo - I was right all along... (Wii 3rd party support)

Back in mid-2008 Wii was nearing 50% marketshare and at the time it seemed inevitable it would scream past that and eventually hit 60-70% at some point similar to previous generational dominators. During this time, I argued that as the marketshare increased, 3rd parties would stop ignoring Wii and make it the main platform while porting to PS360. This was technically easier than the otherway around and would still provide solid experiences to HD players as well as push Wii to its limits with tons of games.

Well, early 2010 rolled around and I purchased a PS3 so I could play 3rd party games.

However, today I have been vindicated....

"Epic Mickey 2 is in development for Wii, basing all software on that platform and the port for 360 and PS3 will be done by Blitz Games and not Disney itself like the main version."

That's right, I was right all along!!! EAT IT HD TWIN FANS... I argued with 4 years ago! Wii is now the main platform (for Epic Mickey 2) and the others will get ports. :)

Now it will surely hit 50% market share....

Well, that's a given. It'll have 100% market share until NextBox or PS4 launches!



Signature goes here!

I'm talking about Wii... not Wii U.

My god, you're right! Wii is so dead in my mind that I automatically assumed they were developping the game for Wii U first and porting it to the HD twins!

Good job dude!

First Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (So what if showed up for the PS2/PSP and not 360/PS3? You gotta start somewhere.) and now Epic Mickey 2.

We're definitely going places now! Time to bring back the hype train!



Hooray I suppose.



           

the level of sarcasm is off the chartz.



You all forgot The Grinder, that was developed for Wii first and... oh wait, never mind.



The sarcasm in this thread blows my mind...



This is only my opinion.
