DMC4 Producer says no Wii version

Yes, but a Nokia cell phone doesn't compete in the same market as a PS3 or Xbox 360.

A better question to ask would be how well would RE4 on the Wii have sold if there was a simultaneous HD release on the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Well... RE4 Wii Edition sold 1 million copies... Despite the fact that it's demographic is made up of old grannies and soccer mums so I dunno. I honestly couldn't give you an answer if only because I don't know of an instance where a game of that type has simultaniously released on all three consoles. I could point out FIFA/Madden and say it would sell poorly in contrast or I could point on Guitar Hero 3 and say it would sell well in contrast.

TL;DR: Anyones guess

I guess the number of games on the Wii have risen to four.

Metroid, Galaxy, Brawl, and Kart.... enjoy it's all you'll get on the wii's lifespan

The Wii Destoryer In Action.... The Wii slayer I like Him

No Classic Controller support? DMC is only "new generation"? DMC 1, 2, and 3 didn't happen?

LOLclassiccontroller.

Biggest piece of junk accessory produced in ages.

Even if they did try and use it, I'm sure people will be just thrilled to pay for and play any game on that sad excuse for a paperweight-that-has-no-weight. Seriously, anyone who thinks the SixAxis PS3 controller is too light has never used a Wii Classic Controller. I think I own paper clips that are heavier.

When are Capcom going to figure out their games sell on Wii?

You can bet DMC4 SD would sell better on the Wii than the other two consoles.


Alas, I don't care, but would like to point out that Nintendo should open the gates to allowing devs to use the GameCube controller soon, if they haven't already.

With Brawl and MKWii, it would seem unfair otherwise.

Capcom won't figure it out because multi-platform games DON'T sell on Wii, bar casual games like Guitar Hero. Look at the top selling games for proof.

You can use the Game Cube controller and it's an option for all devs... but with two of the bigger franchises and then a number of third parties using the Game Cube controller... Wii = overclocked Game Cube.

It really wouldn't.
DMC has a large and dedicated fanbase that buys the games; it really doesn't attract new buyers. Capcom tried to attract new buyers (casual fanbase) with DMC2 and that went ka-bloosh in their faces, bombing critically and commercially.
