Your point is valid but it still pains me to see games like Okami failing to attain the sales that they deserve. I guess it has more to do with the decisions of the developers and publishers than the platform that the games are released on.

they probability do not like the wii because of nintendo philosophy(belief). nintendo makes a lot of causal games, some might argue too much. and by doing so it attracts a lot of causal gamers, kids, etc. these gamers dont want the games these 3rd party delevolpers make

but also the wii has design a system for parents to trust that it will control what their child does and sees. a lot of parents don't like showing violent/offensive games to their kids. this is one of the reasons the wii is selling, however this is bad for 3rd parties because they make violent/offensive games. which means they can't make a profit off the wii

That's why the two Resident Evil games on the Wii sold over a million copies.

The game got almost no marketing on either release. It was truly a game only the core gaming community knew about. I got a copy for the PS2, but I'm a core gamer.

How can you honestly say this. Are you so obsessed with nintendo that you can't think outside the box? You actually think 3rd parties wish failure on nintendo?

HI BITCHES I'M MARK REIN!

Worst day of my career, I was told I had to make the Unreal Engine for the Wii, but I decided to hand it down to some other company!  I'm not using my own coders to work on our own ENGINE!  OH MARKYS ON FIRE. 

Seriously theres heaps of other crap like this going on already.  Third Partys were dooming Nintendo day one and Nintendo pulled off the comeback they all thought wasn't possible. 

I didn't mean that comment as a flame magnet, but here we go...

The NES era was known for pumping out games really fast.  It had 3 Final Fantasies, 3 Dragon Quests, 3 Castlevanias, 4 Ninja Turtles, 4 Double Dragons, and 6 Mega Mans.

But Nintendo only made 1 Metroid, 2 Zeldas, and 4 Marios (in Japan, only 3 in America).  But they also made many other great games outside of their major franchises, like Excite Bike, Punch-Out!!, Kid Icarus, and more, and over the decades they've been bringing in new IPs on every single console.

Outside of Mega Man, Sonic, and Street Fighter, the SNES era actually slowed that down a little.  We've had 1 Mario platformer per console, only 3 console Metroids in the last decade, and 1-2 Zeldas per console (2 on Nes, 1 on SNES, 2 on N64, 1.5 on GC, and 0.5 on Wii).

The reason you think Nintendo is the worst at milking its franchises, is because Nintendo is the longest lasting most successful and greatest software developer in history.  Only Nintendo has this many successful franchises, and that bothers you for some reason.  Maybe you're jealous because you just don't like their games.  Or maybe you hate success?  I have no idea.  But when Microsoft or Sony have enough original and successful first party characters to make a Smash Bros. game, you'll be singing a different tune.

At least Cliffy B finds him attractive.
