This article is cool, it goes over games that have gone off the radar like too human 2, war devil, kid icarus etc
http://uk.games.ign.com/articles/995/995409p6.html
In what way is LKS a game I want to play, that is where you fail. I don't care for weird Pikmin like strategy game. Give me any action game on the level of Bayonetta. Give me an action adventure game as incredible as Uncharted 2. Hell give me a game outside of Nintendo that is as good as Ratchet. An RPG as good as Dragon Age.
Except that I am not arguing at all about how successful the Wii would be. In fact I think it would be a disaster for them if it were PS3/360. All I am saying is that the big 3rd party games were never going to come to the Wii because of their choice of hardware. The day Nintendo announced the specs was the day i knew there was going to be a major split in the types of games the Wii would get. I don't understand how you think that if the Wii were like PS3/360 that it would NOT be getting all the major third party games.
You act like you know all these internal sales numbers and costs vs profits and all that. Do you think these mega companies don't know all the actual data. If all of them are choosing to not make ports there is a reason. If they knew they could make money they would make money, something else is at work there.
Of course making separate Wii games is the best approach. That is what I am arguing as well.
What are you talking about? Wrong person.
Sorry man, thought you said that on a podcast.
It's ok, I love Yakuza and I don't care at all if some random piece of the game I will not really use is gone. This is the only way I can play it so I will play it.
Because GameCube didn't, Wii is still different, it says nothing of the online service, and it would be selling a whole lot worse than even that. Some? Yes. All or near all? Not a chance.

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileGC got most, it was nothing like what is going on with the Wii now. It would be getting the grand majority of them.
I agree.
I think even if they made a console with 60% of the 360's power, that was able to do 720p high-def, with a bare-bones online service similar to Sony's that didn't require the foolish friend-codes, they would have done fine and gotten a ton more support in the multi-platform and "hardcore" areas.
Unfortunately they went for the Gamecube with extra sugar, with a mommy-protect-me online plan. It pisses me off.
GameCube stopped getting support later in its life because its sales stagnated. Wii would have been dead in the water, and support dried up just as quickly.
---
Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileYeah, especially since so many companies were predicting nintendo to be third place and were not working on supporting it very much at all. Nintendo needed other another strategy to survive, since comparable tech last generation didn't bring in the gamers or the companies. They are all comitted to sony and xbox.
Hell, look at the ds. Would that be getting better support in the west if it had psp specs. I don't know why it would, and I don't know why more haven't put out games for it.
Right Nintendo did the right move for them, so its hard to argue against it. But that move came at a cost. The story is I don't completely blame the devs for the lack of support, at least in the form of their best games, Nintendo made a console that put them in a different tier.
I'm with Edge make some halfway graphical system that can sort of handle ports and sell it for $300 (probably at a loss but whatever) they would have been fine.
It's not a matter of blame for anyone. It's business, which then means it's whether or not the publishers are being stupid. That's a yes and a no.
And that's a no on a $300 Wii that's going to get what you want.

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileHey I just saw a TV ad for the Xbox 360 Arcade on sale for $129. I think it was a regular 360 ad so the sale should be everywhere. It's only good until the 19th though.
Since you can move your hard-drive from 360 to 360 if I were still in the states I'd get 2 at that price.
I'm serious, that way I could ensure I'd be able to play my 360 games in the future. I did the same thing when the Dreamcast and PS1 hit their low price points. $129... I wonder if they are refurbs?
They most likely are. But you're right. If I had that kind of sales around here, I'd certainly pick up a spare one.
