The State of WiiWare, Xbox Alternatives

CVG is running a piece discussing the current state of WiiWare, and where they expect it to go in the future. They point to the success of Mega Man 9 on WiiWare and other platforms, but worry that the perception will arise that certain games are "too good" to be featured on WiiWare. GameSetWatch has a related interview with independent developer Ninjabee discussing their recent games and comparing WiiWare with Xbox Live Arcade. Meanwhile, Microsoft has announced that the new Xbox Experience coming in November will included their Community Games initiative, which will allow amateur game developers to create and share games using the XNA development tools.

Re:The DRM issue needs to be sorted out.

[not already in use]

What happens when the parent company gets tired of supporting it? What happens when they no longer answer the phone when you call them to transfer your account to a new console? What happens when they shutdown their old DRM servers.

Ohh, hypothetical arguments! I want to play!

What happens when Nintendo reveals their plot to take over the US by remote detonating every Wii sold within our borders? What happens when Sony subconsciously converts us all to Islam by including Quran references in hit titles? What happens when you catch the red ring of death from your 360, a terrible sexually transmitted disease?
You die. You die and go to hell. THAT'S what happens.
