He then went on to say "In terms of approach to design, I don't see the Wii sharing many multiplatform games with the other two systems. It's not just a matter of tech specs but of fundamental design. A lot of games that would rock on 360 or PS3 would just not work on the Wiimote, and the Wiimote demands a style of design that simply won't work on the other two systems. I don't want to play a game like Call of Duty on my Wii, but a game like Wii Sports just wouldn't work on the 360."
"The economic reality of that situation is that publishers and developers have to make a choice to design for one platform or the other, or make a port that's shoehorned onto a platform on which it just doesn't work. That means a split between Wii games and PS3/Xbox 360 games, or a lot of really bad ports churned out to make a quick buck." he added.
Big Rooster is a fledgling game development company, whose founding members have a variety of accomplishments to their name, from developing military simulation games, to contributing to the founding of id Software and cultivating Human Head Studios' First Person Shooter, Prey. Big Rooster is currently developing a game called Talisman for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

And I don't just mean this guy, I mean everyone out there who's heaping the praise on Wii but still not supporting it as well as they should be.

Well, maybe they are in the middle of developement. It wouldn't be good to back out from what they were doing to jump ship.

You don't know the video games industry very well, do you.

Explain Denjet. I see nothing wrong with Enner's statement.

Hmm...
Anyway, I assume he was saying that it wouldn't be good for the developer to drop their current game in order to work on a Wii title. LIES! ALL LIES! In fact, it would turn out to be incredibly beneficial to them. Sure they'd loose money in the short run but come on, Wii is the system to beat and it's going to make them a ton of money overall. Way more than the PS3 or 360. Quite possibly even combined. Besides, dumping support for one system in favor of another has never hurt developers before. I've seen it first hand over and over and over again. All those great N64 titles that never materialized. All those GameCube games canceled. Did any of that hurt any of the developers that did it? HELL NO!
Besides, the guy's an ass. He talks up the system but then says he hasn't seen anything to back up it's promise. Well then, where's his shining example of a game? If he thinks the system is capable of much greater things then where's his game to show that? He needs to put his support where his mouth is or else he's just another poser who may be taking a subtle jab at the Wii while trying to make it look like a compliment.
