Well no matter what it will be on the PS3 and 360. I still want to see them port it to the DS and PSP and make up excuses for way it cant go onto the Wii.

Yeah, I agree even though Wii's controls are a fit for the game, I'm pretty sure it will only be on 360(guranteed) and PS3(99% chance).

I was pretty sure a DS version was announced as well.


 The DS version is being released at the same time as the PC version. 

As for the other consoles...  it makes way more sense to bring it out for the 360 and Wii.  The Wii will get you the worldwide sales and the 360 will get you the most North American sales (for the time being but even in the future the PS3 will still be lagging behind the Wii WW and 360 in NA).  Although I still think that EA will want to bring it to each current gen console (except the PSP). So there should be a 360, Wii and PS3 version of the game as well as the DS and PC versions. 



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

I like the overall idea of more 3rd party games, especially big ones, coming to Wii. However, with this particular game, I don't think I would buy it on anything else buy a PC. I guess I would rent the Wii version first to see what I would be missing, but, idk. PC version will probably be leagues apart from the rest.

Well by the rumored time of Spores real release (spring 2009) I think the PS3 will be in 2nd place in overall worldwide sales so it will be smarter to have it on the PS3 and port it to the 360 (all devs say do this for ports, its easier and you get good ports instead of bad).

 

But yea it should definitely be on all consoles/handhelds. It's EA's style

This game is dead in the water without either a PC, Wii, or DS version. PS3 has potential if they can use the six axis. However, the demo they showed relied way too much on a stylus.
And this game was announced for everything. PC, Wii, DS, PSP, 360, & PS3 over a year ago. Remember the guy who said the Wii was two Gamecubes ducktaped together? He was a dev for the Wii version of Spore (not a good way to get people to buy your game, buddy).



To cash in my CC rewards points for $300 in Circuit City gift cards to purchase a 360 or not: That is the question.

I really like the look of Spore and would love to see it on the Wii. I have my doubts that it will, if so I expect they will need to get someone with Gamecube or Wii experience to make it work out.

Never heard of Spore, but the fact that EA is making it makes me not want to know....

Most of the stuff that comes from EA is total crap, but this is made by Maxis, one of the good companies EA has bought, but not ruined yet. I heartily recommend you watch this video and educate yourself on possibly one of the greatest games (to be) ever.

Wii version should make a lot of people happy... but theyre going to choose the ps3

:(

i hate ports, the ps3 will never go anywhere with ports.

It certainly isn't going anywhere without them, leo.

Not on topic, but does anyone really think this game will turn out well? Sure it's innovative, but sometimes that's a bad thing, I don't think this game will work.

I'm not sure if you both have been living under a proverbial rock for a few years or what, but Spore is easily the biggest thing EA will have put out since The Sims. It will sell, I guarantee you.
