Nintendo's Competitive Advantage [view article]
I think that the difficulty for 3rd partied developing for Wii is that fact that Nintendo is you competition. Take a look at the NPD numbers, Nintendo absolutely dominates that top of the list. I am sure that part of this falls on the shoulders of the devs who, IMHO, tend to throw insufficient time and resources at their Wii projects, but it there is still something to be gleamed from the fact that Nintendo dominates in this area.

I think a second that there is more then meets the eye to Nintendo development has to do with Sony's acquisition of SN systems. The IDE that many game devs prefer is MS Visual Studios, but with Nintendo development you are forced into a CodeWarrior world. This may not be a huge problem if you are a pure Wii shop, but if you are doing xBox and PS development, many of your tools and automated processes will need to be re-worked. Jan 06 12:17 PM
