In recognition of a post made of awesome and win, it is my duty to present RolStoppable with the official thread winning cookie.

This is Bodhesatva's official warning to Sporsk for being suspicious.

1) You copy and pasted from another, very old thread, and made it appear that it was new material.

2) For those who don't know, Sporsk is the name of a NeoGAF admin, and the avatar used is the same one another NeoGAF admin uses, Amirox.

I've been keeping an eye on you every time you've posted for the latter reason alone, but the former reason just gave me more ammunition. Consider yourself under watch.  

In the end, Wii will be so succesfull that all this won't be important...

Let's say 1/3 of Wii owners are avid gamers who buy 10 games a year... another 1/3 are occasionnal gamers and kids who buy/receive 2 or 3 games a year... and the last 1/3, non-gamers who'll never buy anything else than Wii Sports...

In such a case (highly improbable, but let's say that's the way it is), if Wii has a 20 million userbase, it could be a problem, indeed...

But if Wii has a 50 million userbase? The "problem" is already gone...

And if Wii has a 80 million userbase? Nobody will think the way of the original post anymore, Wii games will always find their audience, sales will be good enough, at least for the good games out there...

And of course, right now, 3rd parties already sell more software on Wii than on PS3... don't believe me? Just take a look at the numbers in this thread...

So ok, Wii may scare some 3rd parties... but what about PS3 then? Do you think that with higher costs and less sales, the PS3 offers good business opportunities?

I don't think so... but it's ALWAYS about the "Wii and 3rd parties problem" anyway... maybe it's a good time to stop that kind of argument, don't you think?

To third partys is better develope to Wii than PS3.

Say 10 gamers do buy 6 a piece, which is 60 games.  And say it splits up 25 for X360, 20 for PS3 and 15 for Wii.  Obvious thing to do is to make the game for the X360 and port to PS3 or the opposite, right?  Have a chance of selling 45 games vs only 15.  Except for a few things.

First of all, how many other developers are also zeroing in on that 45 games?  Say, it is 15 developers.  Then on the average, each one will sell only 3 games to the 10 gamers, if they develope only for the X360/PS3.  But say one or two decide to build excellent games, but not in the Nintendo style.  That is, more hardcore like RE games have been.  And because Nintendo developes so much and so well, it breaks down, 9 Nintendo games and only 6 non-Nintendo.  With only the 2 developers, that still is 3 games sold to the 10 gamers, just as many as the other developers sold to the PS3/X360 crowd.

Second, the casual market beyond gamers.  Those beyond the PS2 casual crowd, call them DS casuals, of Nintendogs, BrainAge and Cooking Mama.  That market is going towards the Wii, with devices like Wii Fit making it even more so.  Developers that hit the right new genre are going to do well.  Sure, right now it seems to be all mini-games.  But where's the new Nintendogs/BrainAge/Tetris?  The developer that comes up with the truly new ideas like these games is going to do very well.  And these styles of new games will do very on the Wii.  After all, if Tetris had just been thought up, would a gamer really buy a Tetris game for it gorgeous HD cut scenes?  Would casuals?  

Lastly, there is the PS2 120M+ crowd, that only partially has been 'heard' from, in terms of which new console will they buy, if any of them.  A number of them have already bought one of the newer consoles.  But a lot are waiting for the prices to drop.  The Wii is going to have the first chance at the bargain hunters, since it is unlikely that X360 and PS3 will be ever able to drop their costs below what a Wii costs to make.  Of course, before the Wii can drop its price, supply has to caught up with demand.  Or like X360 and PS3, demand will drop enough at the Wii current price, that it will need to be dropped like the other two, to simulate demand again, like they have.

This thread gets my seal of approval.

Never post anti nintendo stuff on vgchartz.

especially if its just a stolen wall of text from another thread/article
