Are Game Publishers Late To the (Wii and DS) Game?
simoniker writes "A new 'Analyze This' feature on Gamasutra examines analysts' views on the rise of Nintendo's Wii and DS, and how well game publishers have reacted to it, with Wedbush Morgan's Michael Pachter commenting: 'It's hard to criticize anyone for putting too much faith in the PS3, as most [publishers] haven't created "cutting edge" titles yet for that platform. Most of the PS3 titles so far have been perennial titles, like Madden, Tony Hawk, etc ... I'd say that most failed to capitalize on the DS and Wii opportunity. The exception on the DS side is THQ, which has made every game it can for the platform. On the Wii side, Ubisoft took a big chance by making ten games for the [Wii] launch window, and it has performed very well, so far. I think that the others will catch up no later than early next year.'"
"The Wii and to a lesser extent the DS almost require innovative gameplay. "
Moving control from onces thumb to ones wrist and replacing button presses with waggle movements...is 'innovative'...
Gotta love the lectures from the Wiibots lecturing the world about 'innovation' when their platform is nothing but a shitpile of crappy little minigames with waggle bolted on.
Ever hear of (best-selling) Project Gotham Racing? Fucking Sony moron.
Oh shut up.
You've embarrassed yourself enough in this thread. I'll pop back a year from now to make fun of your fanboy stupidity. Yes, it is juevenille and perverse, but absolutely hilarious.
Silly little punks like you spewing bullshit about the Wii today should be just as good as the same dopey fanboys making equally inane claims about the Dreamcast and Xbox years ago.
Oh how their words haunt them now...
the fact that there are fun games on the Wii does not make games on the XBox360 or PS3 any less fun, and the fact that a Wii is worth owning does not stop the XBox360 and PS3 also being worth owning, and the fact that the Wii has an amazing controller doesn't stop the XBox360 having amazing online services and the PS3 having amazing processing power.
Ignoring the fact that the amazingness of the Wiimote is still an open question, none of those things make Nintendo fanboys any less smug or holier-than-thou, unfortunately.
