Ports and sequels the other way weren't economically either.
They were much, much less resource-intensive to make.
If a Nintendo exclusive is successful, it goes multiplatform or its sequel does. It never sells well on Sony or Microsoft
If a Microsoft/Sony exclusive is successful, Nintendo never gets a port or the sequel.
The Wii got exclusives because it was almost impossible to port games from the other consoles to it. Sony and Microsoft don't get exclusives unless they're first party or moneyhats, and in both cases it's pretty self-explanatory why Nintendo doesn't get the sequels.
De Blob 1 (Wii exclusive) -- success
De Blob 2 (multiplatform) -- studio shattering failure
Wii uDraw -- major success
Multiplatform uDraw -- publisher destroying failure
Sonic Colours (Wii exclusive) -- major success
Sonic Generation (everything under the sun BUT the Wii) -- respectable numbers but less than Colours
Hmmmm, i wonder what this all means...
According to this article it's sounding like Sony may not wait for E3 to unveil their next console. I can see why they might want to do that, to get out ahead of Microsoft's announcement, but how do you think this affects Nintendo?
When did they say that? Because last week they tracked it (both).
It's why I stopped visiting their site. And I find it interesting that the DS apparently sold no copies. Have all remaining systems been sold by now?
I think it'd be hilarious if dev costs rise so much, that it causes third-parties to all shut down. And the only studios left are Nintendo and those that support them. Microsoft and Sony wouldn't have anyone to make games for their consoles! Hah.
Well, Sony would be alright because they've spent a great deal of time over the last 2 generations strengthening their own studios. It would be Microsoft that would be hardest hit in your hypothetical scenario.
Anyone else mystified by why VC is still being released on the Wii? 1 month after Wii U launch?
