We are in may of 2008 and the wii is still selling and its number one. There has been only a few switches from the ps3 to the wii, monster hunter and fatal frame have made the jump. But other than that nothing else has emerged. Hudson soft has said they were making games exclusively for the wii. Usually when a system sells well, most of the big name franchises are sure to follow like when Nintendo made the N64 and all of its big name franchises switched to Sony for the playstation. Now that the wii is selling, you would expect the same to happen.
There are games for the wii, but not the major franchises. If the wii had all of sony's third party franchises, the ps3 would not be in the picture. nintendo can survive with its franchises like mario and zelda because these are exclusive only to nintendo and nintendo has shown that it can survive without major third party support. If sony were to lose its major third party support it would lose.
This year's E3 will tell us more of what is to come for the future. I would like to play more of the franchises that the other systems have too. If I can play fatal frame, bully, resident evil, the godfather etc. on the wii then I don't see why silent hill, tekken, kingdom hearts, metal gear solid can come to the wii too. The wii can be like the PS2 in terms of games, for everyone.
I'm glad that nintendo is winning the systems war. Will there be any major changes because of it? Who knows? I wonder how long can the industry can support three gaming consoles?
Will the wii ever get more mature titles? Probalbly not. the 360 and the ps3 are the ones with the most. Just because the wii has mario, kirby, and pokemon, it shouldn't stop other third party publishers to develop more mature or hardcore content for the wii. Resident evil has sold very well for the wii, so why can't other franchises do the same? Fatal Frame is coming to the wii, after years on the playstation. Having three consoles may be a bit too much, just to play the different kinds of games that you want.$$$$$$
If you want more mature third party games, contact the companies and specifically request that you would like to see more of the type of games that you want. The wii could use more mature/hardcore games. It would balance things out for Nintendo. Start the campaign!!!!! The power is in the people!!!!:D
