My hypothesis: Wii is at least as good as Sony’s PS3 and Microsoft’s Xbox 360, if not better, at selling ‘core’ third party titles.

It seems to me that in the last year and a half, third party Wii developers have been complaining more and more about how the Wii has caused their games to fail, and subsequently lose money. Is this true? Well, developers have definitely lost money, but I don’t believe it’s the fault of the Wii, and the reason is simple: People are making comparisons that take average-reviewed niche games and compare them with critically acclaimed mainstream games. The fact of the matter is that comparing No More Heroes to Call of Duty 4 or Halo 3 is just ridiculous, because no matter what system a game like No More Heroes is released on it will not sell as well as a mainstream shooter game. Therefore, the goal of this article is to compare the sales of a game like No More Heroes to another game in its genre with similar review scores, rather than taking unfair comparisons and basing my judgments off of them.

“Trackmania is a much more skill-based racing game, rewarding players who master the vehicles and the tracks. Without wanting to belittle the achievements of the team who made Wheelspin, I feel that we’ve got a game that pushes, physics and gameplay further than any other racing title on the Wii.” – Trackmania producer Dan Fletcher

I have a lot of faith in Trackmania Wii since the DS title was of very high-quality. I’m sure the game won’t have a hard time topping Wheelspin!

Also, the Nintendo DSiWare™ service offers another round of retro gaming in the form of three more Game & Watch™ titles from Nintendo’s classic 1980s series of hand-held games, plus the latest version of the Mr. DRILLER® franchise, which invites fans to drill through multiple game modes and a variety of stages.

Meanwhile, Nintendo’s WarioWare™: D.I.Y. “Big Name Games” series continues with two new downloadable microgames created by top game designers. Suck Goo! is an imaginative offering from 2D BOY’s Ron Carmel, co-creator of the award-winning World of Goo™ for the WiiWare™ service. You’ll also find Ikachan!, an original microgame designed by Daisuke Amaya (a.k.a. Pixel), whose popular Cave Story is also available for the WiiWare service. New “Big Name Games” will be added every Monday through July 26, all available to download for zero Nintendo DSi Points™ to anyone with broadband Internet access and a copy of either WarioWare: D.I.Y. for Nintendo DS™ or WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase software for the WiiWare service.
