I recently read a New York Times article about how more and more game developers and publishers seem to be leaning towards the Wii for game-making. It seems that the Xbox 360's and PS3's development costs are going quite high when compared to the little white box with the Wiimote. Besides, with all the Wii sales happening, you know that the companies gotta get them some of that.

At first, a lot of developers leaned towards Microsoft's and Sony's machines. They could pull off better graphics, and that was what people wanted, right? However, their reservations about the Wii were well founded. The GameCube, which initially sold well, was outsold marginally by the PS2 and Xbox. The developers didn't want to run the risk of making a minimal profit.

However, with the huge sales of the Wii, as well as its lower development costs, more and more companies are putting their fears aside and starting to make Wii games. Remember, smaller development costs means that if your game sells well, you'll get more profit then if you were to sell your game on, say, the PS3.

But, for now, we don't know what's going to happen with that. We'll just have to see how the Wii sells. If it continues to sell the way it is right now, it'll have no problem winning the console war. And, with all the possible developers joining up, the sales may increase even more. We don't know yet.

Bye!
