Sales=/=better. Sorry, but the wii is not "better". In fact it is the worst when it comes to what really matters to gamers.........THE GAMES.

Namco would have to make an entirely new version of the game, and they would probably see lower returns on investment.

Yea it sold the most on the Cube thanks to having Link. but get this......The GC was on par with the Xbox and PS2 in terms of hardware and it was a machine that most 3rd parties actually cared about.

The Wii well um....just sucks.

I know GC was more powerful than the PS2, but at least they were in the same league, not PS3/360 league compared to Wii league.

If it sucks so bad why is it the number 1 system? Namco will regret not catering to the wii when it burys Xbox and PS3 like its been doing Namco can't be that smart.

My mind is still blown that the Wii is even getting Dead Rising. The Wii normally doesn't get a multiplatform game unless it's also coming to the PS2. There will be some, but don't expect it to happen too often, it's not easy to redesign games made for next-gen hardware on last-gen technology and retain the same quality of gameplay.

Wii has excellent sales , but this is what happens when you gear your market toward a more causual type of customer . That type of customer doesn't or won't go out and spend the money on the trhird party games. Almost all the big 3rd party games (I said almost not all) are and will be on the 360/PS3/PC because that's where third party devleopers can sell millions and reap a stonger profit. If your not satisfied with the Nintendo first party titles then the Wii is not the console to have.

This is very true. I can't believe Nintendo released such a underpowered console.

3D Fighter = Hardcore

Wii = Casual

You get the point. Also I think Namco said this a while back why Wii isn't getting SCIV and instead they were getting the mediocre Soul Calibur Legends.

3rd parties cared about the GameCube? :?

Anyway, what I meant was that despite the GameCube having the smallest install base last generation, Soul Calibur 2 still sold the best on the GameCube. Now the Wii has the largest install base this generation so imagine how a good Soul Calibur title would sell on the Wii.

The casual-driven Wii?Not likely.And Soul Caliber IV on Wii would suck.Lets face it,you cannot port from other systems onto the Wii and not have it be a bad port.The Wii is just too different.

I'm assuming by number one system you mean selling the best? This argument sucks. Sales =/= quality. Britney Spear's albums sell extremely well, does that mean it's the best music? Hell no!

Of course it does I find it funny that this argument only comes around when Wii is beating the Xbox when they said the same thing about PS3 but don't worry soon everyone will have a Wii and there will be no need for an Xbox or PS3 just wait and see Wii will win bet the bank on it its the best ;)

No, it's not.
The Wii is by far the WEAKEST CONSOLE Next gen. Unlike Previous Generation's, Nintendo did something strange this gen....and it worked. VERY, VERY, VERY Profitable.

Anyways, The Wii doesn't get many games like GTA4, DMC4, Assassin's Creed, BioShock, and others due to it's lack of power.

Of course, Namco did offer the Wii an exclusive SC game, SC Legends, enjoy.

No, over time the PS2 sales dominated all over it. What you are remembering is the initial month that it broke, because that was a big deal. Over time, the GC's small fanbase killed SC2's sales.

Sales of hardware doesn't mean anything if 3rd party doesn't sell on it. Why would Namco be so dumb to release a game that does not appeal to the audience? If you had a choice to choose between xbox ps3 or wii version, i'm sure Wii version will be the last option.

Please take a look at some of the screenshots of Soulcalibur IV and then some other Wii games, and then ask the question again with a straight face.

I already got there; traded in all my Wii stuff and got close to $600 store credit and pre-purchased 10 upcomming REAL games for my 360 and PS3. I am so happy to be free of that horrible console.

I think we all gave it a serious effort. I know I did. but enough is enough.
