Forums - Nintendo - No More Crappy Games

An analogy. Let's say hungry customer A and B sit down at a diner (we'll call A the 360 and PS3, and B Wii gamers). The diner, who will be played by the 3rd party developers, takes your orders and they are the same, which is the house special. Both dishes are prepared and sent out. Customer A's food is perfectly prepared, customer B, on the other hand, notices that his meat is undercooked, there is no gravy on his mash potatoes and there is no dressing for his side salad. Customer B goes to complain, but then is told by the cook and customers to shut up and eat it or get nothing at all. Now someone tell me, would you like to be treated this way when you go out to eat? So why is it okay for 3rd party developers to treat Wii gamers like this when a restaurant doing this would be met with heavy criticism.

In this case, the people at Diner B would rather work at Diner A, so they are acting this way to drive people there, so Diner B either goes out of business or becomes another Diner A.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
