Default Wii and 3rd Parties

Its the weekend, and I'm bored (go go foot of snow).

If anyone follows the Editorial thread, would noticed posted an article from Eurogamer this weekend about Wii's 3rd party support. Some tidbits from that article were that the Wii has 54 3rd party million seller games (more than the PS3 according to the article) which I think is a lot more reasonable than some sites would have you believe.

So why then is it that so many 3rd party developers having a difficult time selling on the Wii? Well, I think part of it, can be exhibited in the pictures below, just to see what the major 3rd parties think of the Wii.

Activision


Ubisoft


THQ


Konami


EA


Namco-Bandai


Sega


Capcom


I'm sure a case could be made that crappy games are made for every console, but compare the ratio of games you wouldn't give a second look to those that you are truly interested in, and then look at the ones developers knew would never sell on the PS/360.

And I'm sure people will then claim that's what the Wii audience wants, if that was the case so many developers wouldn't have trouble selling stuff on the Wii.

I really don't know the purpose of the thread, other than to show the utter crap that MAJOR 3rd party developers put out, I'm afraid to see the stuff smaller ones do.

And just for comparison sake,
Nintendo
