charlequin said:Rockstar didn't touch the Wii because supporting the Wii is incompatible with their broad platform strategy, but that just means Rockstar was never there as a "get." Small publishers are a legitimate area of growth for Nintendo in the third-party arena in a way that R* are not.
No argument here.
I just want to dispel the idea that it is "all 'x's fault". The explanation in the OP is surely a valid one, but to assess that as a catch all for every developer (which will no doubt and already has happened in this thread) is folly. There will always be something that Nintendo, or any other platform holder, can do to endear themselves to their 3rd party contractors. Removing these roadblocks will definitely free up more low-mid tier support, but the gap between Nintendo and larger devs will most assuredly remain.
