Bloomberg is reporting on the hippest trend in publishing, no longer sitting on your ass when it comes to Wii development. After many publishers and developers chose the PLAYSTATION 3 to be the lead horse in the console race, it seems that everyone and their parent corporation is shifting priorities to get Wii product out the door.
Seriously. No one watched the DS, generally considered a gimmick device before launch, selling to every man, woman, and child capable of holding a stylus?
According to Bloomberg, a lack of EA games for the Wii launch "contributed to a 25 percent drop in sales in February from a year earlier." That's a lot of billions of dollars.
But it's not just EA. Activision, Take-Two and especially Ubisoft are all on board and in full waggle mode. I guess this really does mean no Gamecube-like drought. Let's just hope these aren't "fourth string" teams porting the next great Wii game.
