They have basically give the wii market to guitar hero since most wii owners have already invested in it.

This ranks up there with other big third party blunders

1. No starwars wii light saber game: at launch of within wiis first year.

2. No rogue squadren: instead F5 wastes money on lair

3. No eternal darkness 2: SK had better hope that TH sells at halo like levels

4. No okami: or okami 2 withns wiis first year (although this is beig fixed)

5. No GTA wii: Not even a san andreas stories or liberty city stories

Third parties are REALLy screwing up

It's because the system is too weak. Developers want to have amazing graphics, sound, AI, multiplayer ect but the Wii just can't handle it.

1. No starwars wii light saber game: at launch of within wiis first year. Think of how awful Red Steel was.

2. No rogue squadren: instead F5 wastes money on lair - OK, you have a point there.

3. No eternal darkness 2: - The first one had bad sales

5. No GTA wii: Not even a san andreas stories or liberty city stories It's getting Bully instead.

When it comes down to it, devs want one thing: money. Nothing more, nothing less.

Look at all the 3rd party support 360 is getting next to the pathetic support the Wii has.

Red Steel = A rushed game because Ubi wanted to flood the launch with games, none of them great..

I would've loved a Rogue Game.. Rebel Strike didn't live up to Rogue Leader...

But ED had a cult following..

Don'tcare about either...

It's because they know their game has a good chance of selling, even if average, or even bad..

The Wii is different.. 3rd Parties half*** games and get what they deserve...

I'm thinking they just want to make money... how hard could it be to put some sort of Rock Band game on Wii?

I'm talking about how he was going on about other 3rd party games not just this.

Not really, some developers care what they make not just how much money it earns.

EA can't release something they don't have. EA's part in this relationship is merely a distributor. They neither developed nor published Rock Band. MTV Games published Rock Band (ie. MTV Games paid for its production) and Harmonix developed it. EA merely distributes the game.

Rock Band will come to the Wii. They're probably waiting for the ability to provide DC .
