Sorry, I didn't know whether this should be in the Wii Forums or the PS3 forums.  Anyways, starting rolling the cameras for the alpacas.

Over the last several months, it seems that more and more publishers have publicly reconsidered their stance on how to support the Wii. Mature games and core games in general just haven't been putting up the kind of sales numbers to justify the investments. Analysts have talked about the struggle of core games on Wii, and publishers like THQ, EA, Sega, Capcom, and Ubisoft have all discussed how weaker Wii sales of core games have affected their respective strategies. Meanwhile, Nintendo's own first-party products are dominating the software charts, leaving little room for third parties to benefit.

As publishers reallocate resources, you'd expect both Xbox 360 and PS3 to prosper. In our recent interview with Rob Dyer, SCEA Senior Vice President of Publisher Relations, we asked Sony about this very situation. Has the Wii backlash led to more PS3 support? Dyer certainly thinks so. 

"What publishers have said is they're not going to spend the resources on Wii... In my job, we compete against Microsoft and Nintendo, and we're competing for resources. So when I walk into a publisher, I ask, 'Where are you guys pushing your resources?' In the past, it was 'Look how hot the Wii is,' or 'Look how hot the DS is,' and 'We should put resources there.' They did that and realized, 'You know what, third-party product just doesn't sell on that platform.' So now they're taking those resources, coming back to us and saying, 'Sony we're going to be able to provide you with that exclusive content,' or 'We're going to put more engineers on it and figure out to maximize the Blu-ray and get more out of PS3.' That's what we're seeing now," he stated.

Dyer continued, "And I don't even have to fight for their hearts and minds; I just show them the TRST data with regards to how many top 10 titles are third-party titles on the Wii, or how many top 10 titles are third-party titles on the DS. Not many. It's not a hard story to sell, and they get that. Unless they've got a particular franchise that's worked well on the Wii, you don't see a lot of innovative new IP coming out on that platform.” 

Quite frankly, we feel this is a real problem for Nintendo. Even if what Dyer is saying is viewed as more "Sony PR," that doesn't eliminate the fact that third parties are still experiencing difficulties on Wii after four full holiday seasons on the market. Nintendo should be working on its own publisher relations, and we'd love to hear from them on this subject, but so far Nintendo has been quite resistant to inquiries from IndustryGamers. It's like the company is an ostrich with its head stuck in a hole in the ground - get out there and be pro-active Nintendo!

*thumbs up*

Maybe Nintendo is satisfied with selling their games on their console.

Well, obviously PS3 is benefiting from poor software sales on the Wii.
 
Hell, obviously the 360 is equally benefiting from the same situation.
 
Sony PR saying Sony stuff is obvious.
 
The only thing that doesn't make sense is the DS comment since the PSP is still the underdog (PSP 3rd party success? Only in Japan!). Of course Sony PR is gonna take a spin at it though. That much is obvious.
 
I'm obviously trying to send out an obvious message here. 

Probably could've stuck it in General Discussion and been fine. Anyway, the article is just stuff we already knew being said in a different way: third-party developers get hosed on the Wii.

This is kind of what we already know: Third Party games generally don't sell well on the wii.  Obviously they have figured out that money and time are better spent on the HD platforms.
 
The real question is, Who's fault is it? Is it Nintendo for showing their characteristic apathy (or even disdain) towards other developers? Is it the developers themselves for making the wrong kinds of games? Or is it the consumer's fault for not buying those games?

This is obvious Sony PR spin. 
 
However I totally agree and understand why Nintendo are losing 3rd party support and rightly so.

Sony adopting a popular bandwagon that's negative about the Wii? How inter.... er, predictable.

eh I doubt it Sony likes the PR some of the stupidest things and often its outright lies.
 
the wii while i dont like it at all it doesn't seem to be slowing in the 3rd party games department.

Yeah right, the Wii caught publishers with their pants down, they tried to catch up by throwing a bunch of low budget, low resource games on the Wii, whatever, nothing but propaganda.

It's amazing that publishers dropped the ball so epically and publicly having to give up while Nintendo takes over each continent one after one. What must it feel like......

Nintendo's for exasperating themselves in a way hardware wise where ports of triple A games like GTA/AC/95% of first and third person shooters were impossible to easily or port at all.  In the end Nintendo couldn't care less, the joke that is third party sales on the wii just pads their pocket books when only first party games are bought by many consumers.  Not to mention their system costs squat to make so they are profiting greatly on every console sale even if it's just a wii sports machine that gets stuck back in the closet.

" @Al3xand3r:   I was mocking everyone who accuses you of being a Wii fanboy even though you play on the PC and the PSP as well in addition to most Nintendo users being multiplatform users.  Also, sometimes people have accused you of being a raging fanboy. Despite that idea fanboys are inherent idiots who can't even highlight properly articulate thoughts and ideas into a debate yet these fanboys don't take the time to read your so called "Wall of Text" even though it wouldn't even constitute as an essay, or hell, a page of a book.  Crazy isn't?
