I have to laugh at the mindset of people who think the Wii is just a fad and it's sales are are going to slow significantly at some point. What is the precedent for this kind of thinking? Seriously, has it ever happened? I fully expect that at some point people who own Wii Sports will get tired of it, but that doesn't explain how others who haven't played it yet will tire of it (you know, the non-gamers Nintendo is goping after)
Console sales as far as I've followed them tend to snowball as more people buy systems, more games are made for said system, and then more people buy the system to play the new games. Why would that pattern stop with the Wii?
If developers want to make high budget games that can be played only on the Xbox 360/PS3, then that's their perogative. It's hard to wonder why they would do so if the Wii ends up with the largest userbase. Last gen when the PS2 was the market leader and comparatively the weakest system, weren't games develped for it first and then ported up to the other systems?
