Ok so we agree they are more expensive, I never contested that, I just don't buy the argument that PS3/360 games AREN'T Profitable. I am sure that NBA Live 2007 recycled a lot of code and character models from NBA Live 2006 and I am sure the same can be said for COD 2 to COD 3, etc.
I think I presented myself as to be on the other side of this as I truly am. I no doubt think Wii has the customers to buy games, and I do doubt think that any game that is profitable on PS3 would be MORE profitable on Wii.
But I don't think people can just assume PS3 doesn't make money and say it is stupid for developers to make games for it that aren't on Wii. It can be just as costly to port down a game made in HD as it can to make it from scratch right?
It's like Hollywood, once they got went Digital and HD and CGI, etc, they didn't want to turn back. Major studios invest in all this fancy hi tech gadgetry and now they want to make the most of it so they get their moneys worth.
I can see how if a developer spends the money to invest in making a big budget hi definition, graphical masterpeice that they spend time and money and effort trying to realize a artistic or what have you vision, then it makes sense they would want to continue using their fancy HD tools to keep moving forwards. I mean making a hollywood movie on film is probably cheaper than using HD/Digital cameras, but the extra cost won't stop them from putting in the extra effort.
I guess it is more like this, I don't agree fully with the developers not wanting to put their biggest and best efforts into Wii, I would like to see games like Lost Planet, Oblivion, COD4, etc, on the Wii, but I can also see how some companies would see Wii as a step forward and to steps backwards.
