As you know, Nintendo has been having a tremendous year now. Nintendo Wiis have been flying off the shelves faster than you can say Nintendo. However, not everyone is so sure about the Nintendo Wii. 3rd Party Game developers are concerend that Nintendo Wii buyers may not buy many big title 3rd party games.
3rd party party developers need to know they will get a return on their investment. Wii owners may just buy Nintendo branded products or cheaper party games like Carnival Games.
Julien Merceron, CTO of Eidos, says the true test will come this holiday season. If 3rd party games sell really well, then EIDOS will step in big time to make huge games for the Nintendo Wii. If 3rd party games sell poorly, then there is a bleak future for the Wii in terms of games.
I guess we'll just have to see how it goes.
