Analyst: 2009 to be a break-out year for third-parties on Wii

“…We believe that most of the publishers we cover will manage market share gains on the Wii over the next year. We saw Nintendo capture 60 percent of Wii software sales during 2008, but note that Nintendo’s share dropped to 40 percent in December, indicating that third parties are beginning to capture market share.” – games analyst Michael Pachter with Wedbush Morgan

2009 will be an undoubtedly great year for third-parties quality-wise. The only thing that concerns me is sales…I don’t want to even think how companies would react if The Conduit sells poorly.
