Default Re: Wii's Crappy Games

I don't think it's quite like that. Nintendo doesn't support their third party developers well, both Sony and Microsoft do a better job of support. I personally believe the source of this issue is that Microsoft and Sony of America are managed by Americans, whereas Nintendo of America is still managed by the Japanese. It's clear the American and Japanese market are extremely different, and the Japanese don't understand how business works in America. The reverse could also be said. Also, I'm sure at least a sizable portion of the development community want to work on the more technologically advanced system, which is clearly not the Wii. Although the Wii is selling well, only the console itself and a few other games are selling well. Whereas, the Xbox 360's third party games are selling like hotcakes, and are being supported by Microsoft. The choice is fairly clear for a third party developer that is looking to invest time in a quality title and turn a profit.
