I gotta say, I was also expecting more cross-platform titles for the Wii. |

Well with its controller, its kinda expectable that people'll shy away from treating it the same way as the others, game production wise. |

It has the controller shell. |

Ah, well. I can't afford another system. Ergo, they're losing out on potential customers. |

They're assuming that if you'd buy a Wii, then you wouldn't be a very good customer anyway. The "games for everyone" image IS hurting in that respect. |

Not really a shell anymore, the seperate "classic" controller attachment. |

Then it would suck in new, more ergonomic ways. |

Actually, a lot of what the Power Glove was SUPOSSED to be able to do is stuff the wii control actually CAN do, so it wouldn't be as bad. |

Nintendo doesn't need the majority of cross platform games. You got to remember they're not going to those one console houses anymore, they're trying to be that second console that most people buy. They're expecting people are going to buy a Wii and 360 or a Wii and PS3, which if you think about it, is a sound strategy. |

Well of course there will be people who get just the Wii, but what I'm saying is Nintendo expects the majority of the Wii sales to be as a second console, which will be true for my house as well since I already have a 360. |

Out of curiosity, were do you get that from. I can't recall anything Nintendo says backing that up. It was Microsoft that suggested people were more likely to get a Wii as a second system rather than a PS3. |

Microsoft and Sony both suggested that their customers would get the Wii as a second platform, as opposed to their main competitor. |

Thats because they both know that Nintendo has the best system this time around. Sony has been making bad decisions... and I'll take a decent puter over an Xbox anyday thankee. |

If my family gets a 'nother console, it'll most likely be a 360, because my dad is the big gamer in the family (I know, crazy, innit?), BUT if *I* buy another console, it'll be a Wii, simply because I like what the big N is doing, and they've seriously impressed me with the DS. And with the Opera browser for the DS, hopefully, coming here, plus the modding posibilities with a DS flash cart... Well, I'm pretty sure Nintendo is playing with power!

I'd get a Wii as my primary one, but if/when I get a second console, I'm going to wait a while. 360 seems big on online games, but I'm not big on online console games (Most of them are FPS/Shoot Em' Up types, and I hate using a console controller for those), and the PS3 is ridiculously expensive, but the Playstations have always had great 3rd party support. I'll see which console ends up getting the better 3rd party support on this one. In other news, the new Harvest Moon game is really weird to get used to... |

Iwata and Reggie said it, they said that most houses are going to have 2 consoles and rather then try and be that main console, they're trying to be the secondary one. |
