back to the OP:
http://news.spong.com/article/20105/Capcom-Less-Wii-After-Darkside-Chronicles-Sells-Only-16k

TP Devs were sceptical about the Wii cos they didn't understand the platform and it seems that in 2010 the TP software will dry up completley with sega and now Capcom stating that TP wii core software will not be as often.

I think that the HD consoles have made advertising for their consoles so easy - just release a demo and let people decide themselves, thats where Nintendo have failed in my opinion. Even with the nintendo channel there's just not enough content offered available and it's mainly all first party software.

They should have at least have a system where thnird parties could link a TP generated website with gameplay videos, game info etc to a front end, age restricted Wii channel that are all contained in a single area with a tagline / category name used for sorting, searching etc.

This entire area could then be given parental controls so it could be hidden / restricted / permitted by parents, that way devs could at least get some form of dynamic content onto the Wii's top menu screen for advertising purposes.

Guys, calm down already.

So educate the other users on the thread. You're really not getting your point across very effectively. The last 2 pages are covered with people trying to understand just what you are on about and you effectively saying "If you have to ask you'll never know!". If you have a point, articulate it please. I'm beginning to think even you don't know what point you're trying to make anymore.

It's just one guy, and his first comments make it look as though he didn't even read the thread title.

Kylie, the post you quoted was about there being no blockbuster third party games on the Wii

Monster Hunter is a blockbuster third party game on the Wii

It has nothing to do with worldwide popularity, which was not mentioned in the first post

Pretty aggressive posts ;)

I think the best thing you can take from threads like this are that Wii gamers are feeling disappointed by this generation. Even those who own multiple consoles.

The wii about new possiblities into this generation, really trying to change the framework of gaming. It did this in three ways:

 - the way we game (be it new motion controls, no motion and previous gen controls, simplified controls (nes style) or a combination)
 - what we look for (trying to poluarize the concept of gameplay over graphics)
 - the way they are developed (providing a platform which is cheaper to develope for breaking the cycle of spiralling budgets)

This seemed to provide great potential for a new fresh generation of gaming. Possiblities seemed endless and yes resisitance was expected, especially from those development studios who wanted to focus on top tier products. However, I don't think anyone expected this much resistance from, particularly from publishers who should be looking to create as many markets as they could.

The sales have shown things in many lights, and the argument on them can go many directions. Many titles have already been highlighted but there are other multiplatform titles which don't have a clear advantage on one development strategy or market which can be examined such as the Force Unleashed and Ghostbusters (Wow searching through the games it really isnt easy finding examples though)

The point I am trying to come away with though is that this generation held a lot of promise which we jus didnt see come into fruition and from the looks of things won't do. The game industry had a great oppurtunity which it didn't manage to capitlize on leaving gamers disappointed and frustrated.

You don't think FFXIII is a major multiplatform game? But you made the official FFXIII thread?

at the end of the day. Nintendo will bleed black and the small studios that continue to support the HD systems will bleed red.

It released recently in Japan and was listing already released multi plat games, no 360 till march remember ?

We were talking about already released games, not  upcoming ones, though you are welcome to talk about them.

I've noticed both of you forgetting about FF XIII.
