Nintendo consoles have historically had a great tie in ratio, since they focus almost purely on the games. Most of the time the market leader sells the most software, but if the race is close this time around, the tie-in ration will be really important. I'd also like to add that third parties look at the number of software sold (especially third party software) rather than the install base. as long as nintendo doesn't shoot themselves in the foot by making their license fee too high that is.Įxactly. if it's first, it'll naturally be through the roof because they'll have the base combined with inexpensive development. if it is a strong second, third party support should be great. with that kind of edge, the wii should attract serious third party support even if it does sell less units than the other guys. there's no HD and no mega powerful GPU to deal with. nintendo has changed the rules a bit because the wii should generally be far cheaper to develop for. Jason, it goes to the console where devs can make the most profit. ![]() Plus the Japan factor plays a role since unlike the PS2, the Xbox 360 can't gain ground in that region. Though one thing that can help the Wii oddly enough is that it isn't widely available yet so the drought may go unnoticed by most people as they'll like buy it just as things start picking up. Nintendo gaining market share is a good thing. We don't want third party support to bail or anything like that. ![]() And it's best for Wii owners if the Wii is successful. So the X360 could gain a lot of ground while Nintendo twiddles their thumbs with no games available. The PS3 will have a drought too but the Xbox 360 is at a point where it can have a steady stream of releases. Well the six months of nothing just confirmed that. Because of the N64, people assumed that the Cube would be more of the same with a lack of games and huge spaces between big titles. It didn't help that their was bias against Nintendo going in. The PS2 just gained too much ground in the meantime. I think the Cube's drought really hurt the console's overall success. I would like dodging to be done with the analog stick or a button.ĭroughts can be dealt with by a patient userbase. Tennis select two separate Miis for single player games, and perhaps expand the series with Tennis like games like Racketball.īoxing: Needs a world of work.so anything would be better. I like not having to select clubs though. Golf More courses and take an approach similar to Super Swing Golf. ![]() I would love the game to keep its simple approach but add more depth.īaseball have the game control the people again, but allow the player to select a base throw to and have limited field control in that regard. All the original games back and polished with more depth, with an additional 3 Sports. The franchise will go either one of two ways. Oh, I final prediction 2007 Christmas big game along side Smash Brothers will be Wii Sports 2. I also believe that 2008 will be the year of the Wii.with huge franchises coming out from Nintendo to push sales through the roof. It will be the game that Nintendo pushes hard for online play. That game is getting the entire year of 2007 to be polished and perfected. Now, the game I expect to be out Christmas is Super Smash Brothers Brawl. So I think the game will be ready by June the latest July, but Nintendo usually has a June game available for summer. June would mean that Nintendo gave the game over a 6 month extention in development time. They had the game running in demos at E3, so I think progress is moving along quite well.
