Wii to outpace 360 in 12 months, EA and Taketwo refocus development to Nintendo

[QUOTE="tegovoltio"]For some reason the part that says that EA and Taketwo are follwing Ubi's lead doesn't sound too good, well we'll see how it turns out.goblaa

I don't see why not. Of all the early third party games on the wii, EA's are by far the best. Most have scored AA here.

Well, there is no way you can spin this. This is good news for Nintendo and Wii owners alike. But, 3+ titles in a year from individual developers? I guess this year alone Wii will be getting quite a lot of rushed titles simply because they did not know Wii would be in the place it is at this point in time. If this happens to Take-Two the possibilities for more are definitely there, not to mention Japanese developer support seeing as how the Wii is doing in Japan. I'm starting to have a feeling that this E3 could surprise a lot of people, at least concerning the support Wii might be getting in the long run. StealthSting

This could mean that Wii is getting more PSP and PS2 ports though.

Where are examples? Game announcements? 

Guess what happens after EA and Take-Two follow Ubi's lead?

So does everyone else.

That would mean they would poop all of thier old ports into Wiis, already, crappy 3rd party library. For an extra buck so they can fund thier MAIN games...

[QUOTE="VegetaJr"]Ubisoft is laughing all the way to the bank, but doing so at the expense of the suckers who own a Wii who actually bought their shoddy games. Rayman was the only half decent title in the whole bunch. The rest were either just mediocre, or plain god-awful. It would be a shame for the Wii to be a primary development console, it isn't on the same plane as the other systems, so it would be holding them back with it's outdated and frankly sad tech.[/QUOTE]

I agree with you. I like the Wii, think it's a good console, and there are plenty of Nintendo games that I will want to play as well as some good third party ones. That said, I don't want it to be the main platform for third parties because as you point out, so much more can be done with the power of the 360 and PS3 to push graphics, and though both don't "innovate" in the controls department the way the Wii does, it's not the games played the traditional way have suddenly become bad. I'll take outstanding graphics and great traditional controls over mediocre graphics and a different control scheme anyday.

Bloomberg can speculate all they want.

And you sheep can take it like fact all you want.

But when I see games coming out like Far Cry for Wii and Godfather and Red Steel. I realize that 3rd parties are just going to do more of those types of games. And I am happy for that, becuase you guys get all the garbage while the people with real next gen consoles get the MAIN big games.

The fact that EA is the best 3rd party developer for Wii ATM is sad in itself :?

Actually noooooooooo, That only really happens at the launch of console and maybe a couple time after, So far the 360 has got Lost Planet, Gutair Hero 2 and lots more and they will be getting C&C, Two Worlds, Mass Effect, Forza 2, Bio Shock, Stranglehold, The Darkness, Blue Dragon, Shadowrun, Overlord and to the other games wihile im not sure if they will be good but you never no, Pirates of the Carabbean, Spider man 3, Colin Mcrae Dirt, Kayne and Lynch dead men, Indiana Jones, Aitd, Im Sure i left out alot and i didnt even put in the sports games, The Wii should aiming for this, Ive only posted just the 360 list but if you look at the list most of them are multiplatforms so the Ps3 has a strong line up as well with these multi and exclusive they have then it looks like the Wii needs to pick up its game imo and i own all three consoles.
