| naznatips said: I agree with the majority here, the article is correct that lots of crap will come to the Wii, but why is this news? Finding good games amongst the crap on the PS2 was like finding a needle in a haystack. Truckloads of crap go hand in hand with the most games, which goes hand in hand with the best sales, which goes hand in hand with the most good games. |
This needs to be emphasized. A lot of cheap ports is already an upgrade from little to no support at all. This is the chain of events that happens with every generational leader:
A) Sales start of well at launch
B) Sales continue past the first 6 months
C) Developers begin to focus more on the leader
D) The titles that are quickest to develop (and usually the worst) arrive first
E) The titles that are quick to develop continue to arrive, but are joined by mid-level titles of good quality
F) The titles of low and mid level quality continue to arrive, but are joined by the occasional high quality game
This is how it works, every time, especially when the lead platform manufacturer switches, as it has now. We were at A, and many people said B wouldn't come (Wii is just a fad!). It did. Then they said C wouldn't come. It did. Then people said D wouldn't come, and it did. Now, at this point, people are saying E won't come. People doubt this logical chain of events every step of the way, as if it's highly unlikely that A will follow B will follow C will follow D will follow E.
Stop, please. No reasonable person is saying the Wii is going to go from paltry third party support to having all the AAA titles exclusive to its platform in 6 months. Heck, I strongly doubt the Wii will ever have more than, say, half the AAA franchises located on the Wii. Instead, this is gradual. As the Wii userbase continues to rocket past the userbase of the 360 and PS3, the developmental support will gradually move more and more to the Wii.
