More Wii hate

Video Game Industry: One of the Most Attractive Areas to Invest - Seeking Alpha

A snipp from the article:

The Nintendo (NTDOY.PK) Wii is not worth developing for. It is nearer the end of its life cycle than the other two consoles and it is mainly first party games published by Nintendo themselves that sell. Third party titles from other publishers are mainly low quality shovelware that have now frightened the consumer off.
The two handheld consoles, the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP are also not worth developing for despite the immense numbers of these that have been sold. Quite simply, piracy has ripped the market up. Vastly more people will steal your game than will pay for it.

Apparently the two best selling game consoles of all time aren't worth developing for.

That logic is so clear why didn't I see it earlier

It bores me to read this so often. I like the way the article just posts things as fact without backing them up...

Dax didn't become a writer did he?

I think the best comment is the one he provides himself:

This generation of consoles is spectacularly good at making analyst’s predictions look stupid.

It's cool to hate the Wii didn't you guys know? ^^

This is ridiculous! If anything Wii is the only console worth developing for, going by the install base alone

Out of curiosity, anyone know the best-selling third party Wii game???

EDIT: I think it may be guitar hero III.

I would be surprised if that wasn't the highest selling 3rd party game. It was very difficult to get for a long time.

So far Wii is the fastest selling console of all time. Basing a statistical assumption of that it will pass the PS1 and PS2 before it's death.
