Probably not in the way you're hoping. If you mean better as in more exclusives or more games being made for it then the Wii already has that as there are more exclusives for that system than both the PS3 and 360 combined. Of course many of those games are either budget, minigame compilations, casual, spinoffs, etc. If on the other hand you mean hardcore games then it's not likely to happen in my opinion just based on interviews and statements coming from the likes of Ubisoft, Take-Two, EA, etc.

Maybe their outlook will change next year and the games of 2010 or 2011 might be what you're hoping for but even then that would probably require a change in the buying habits of Wii gamers. For example when Take-Two can release a game like Carnival Games and get over a million in sales and then release a game like Bully and barely make it past one hundred thousand then what's the incentive for them to take away resources from cheaper casual games for the Wii to put them towards more expensive hardcore games for it?

Also many people seem to compare the Wii to the PS2 or DS but there are key differences between the Wii and either of those. For starters hardcore games sold well on the PS2 right out of the gate. Third parties never had any problems trying to figure out what sells well on the PS2 because their existing franchises already did and their newer ones didn't have any problems. As for the DS, it's competition isn't comparable to the multiplatform PC/PS3/360 game development that the Wii faces. There are relatively few PSP games that sell in the numbers we're seeing with multiplatform PC/PS3/360 games. Add in the cutthroat competition between the PS3 and 360 and the willingness of both to spend millions to help with development costs or advertising and it makes it even more lucrative for third parties.

Of course as I've said things could change but the fact that Nintendo is putting more advertising dollars into Wii Fit than it did with it's classic hardcore franchises leads me to think that third parties are going to follow Nintendo's lead and push casual games as well.

That's a well thought out and valid opinion there. You've improved.

Hmm, if it was anybody but you Rol, I'd believe you, but no, you're trying to trick me, what he wrote has to be sarcasm, and I'm not responding until the man himself pops on and tells me he was serious.

Several notes...

^One of the numerous stupid metrics that was launched at the Wii and PS3 launch to try to show how the XB360 would crush them all. Notice when the Wii started destroying their hopes, they slowed, then even stopped counting the Wii in one of these. Finally, all these stupid metrics happened to become counter productive to their arguments.

Bully is a port from a game that had most of its sales on the last gen winner, which is the PS2. So it had no chance to sell well on the WIi, especially with the port being so poor. These games that were on Playstation have NO base on the Wii, so they have a hard time selling well if they're not heavily advertised. As there were few franchises on Gamecube, the publishers will now have a hard time with these.

The only reason Doom 3, Far Cry, Half Life 2, ... were exclusives to XBox is because they were PC games on Windows, so used DirectX, and as the XBox was basically a PC using DirectX, it was very easy to port. As DirectX is a shitty framework made to only work in Windows environment, it's very hard to translate efficiently to OpenGL and other free standards that are used in most consoles. So that's why. Ninja Gaiden was the only true exclusive.

Besides, detractors just don't see it, but most hardcore games people love are out from Japan. They talk like most of the 3rd party games comes from western devs. Like DS have shown, that's not the case. Even the DS still gets poor western support. The Wii surely will be the same. That's what people saying it won't get hardware support mean: they're stuck in a FPS world of games, which are dominated by western devs. But fortunately, games are not just FPS, there are plenty of other genres, and like for the DS, Japan will basically be forced to support the Wii to survive and make more profit. Playstation 3 and XB360 just won't cut it there. The rest will follow.

What is it about people always showing shock and amazement at the weakest system of this gen beating up on it's more powerful competitors. THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE CASE. Ps2 beat GCN and Xbox. Ps1 beat N64 and saturn. SNES beat the Genesis. NES beat the Master System. Heck even the Atari 2600 beat the Colecovison and Intelivision. Honestly, what makes people think this Gen is gonna be any different? My theory is that the system with the least power has to be the system to innovate, it's gotta be fun, rather than relying on visuals to sell games. And lets face it, even the worst graphics whores among us would not play a beautiful unplayable game, Gameplay has always ruled the gaming industry and always will.

Id rather take a list no variety with potentially 1 good game than a list of complete shit. But thats just me.

Do I see the wii getting the most support? Of course I do. Do i see it getting the most AAA games from 3rd party publishers? No. The wii has positioned itself as the "only party games" sell console and there is nothing wrong with that but dont expect it to steal all the major franchises form the ps360.  

 That's a very poorly thought out article in my opinion.  Anyways I'll address some of the points he brought up which in my opinion don't really make any sense.

For starters the Doom3, Far Cry, Half Life 2 on Xbox comment is correct but it's pretty much irrelevant this generation as most developers are using game engines that have already been ported to consoles.  It also actually runs counter to the argument he is trying to put forth.  The fact that it's now relatively easy to port between PC/360/PS3 would suggest even more games being made for them not less.  So why would he include that in an argument for why the Wii will get more support?

Then he talks about Japan and third parties needing to support the Wii in order to survive but that is nonsense especially since most sales of hardcore Japanese games are already happening outside of Japan.  Take a look at Devil May Cry 4 for example, it's a game that actually appeals to the Japanese audience yet only about 17% of it's sales so far have come from Japan.  The ratio gets even worse for many other hardcore games.  Also since the videogame market is growing faster outside of Japan and game development costs are going up, even if the Wii has managed to postpone the problem, it doesn't change the fact that eventually Japanese videogame companies are going to become more reliant on sales from outside of Japan.  

 Agree 110%.  Will the Wii have more 3rd party titles available than PS3 or 360? Yes, however the OP was ambiguously worded as "better."  In my opinion quality trumps quantity, and the higher quality 3rd party games are all on PS3 and 360.  That's not going to change

It's all a matter of perspective, really. Certainly people who owned computers when the NES came out figured that the quality of NES games was far below par compared to what they had on their systems, yet you'll find far more people who fondly recollect the likes of Super Mario Brothers than people who fondly recollect the likes of King's Quest or Might and Magic...

Ah, but you can't paint in broad strokes and still be considered correct, or in opinionated terms "valid."

I think some people get offended when I say their opinion is not valid. However, what I mean is, "Your opinion has a very small chance of being correct."

Now, if I said "The PS3 has no games." My opinion would be invalid(and very childish in its presentation.)

If you say "higher quality 3rd party games are all on the PS3 and 360" your opinion would be invalid, because certainly in the Wii's lifetime even thus far it has seen some "higher quality" 3rd party games, or even just one, however, just one makes your absolutely stated opinion provably incorrect.

Instead you should say that most AAA 3rd party titles will end up on the 360 and PS3.

The devil is in the details, and sometimes how you word your opinion changes it from absolutely incorrect, to perfectly plausable, with all due respect.

In other words, I fully respect your opinion, but I think it has been proven wrong with releases of games like RE4, Okami, Bully, Guitar Hero 3, Rock Band, and Zack and Wiki.
