What about kiddy image?

 

Doesn't bother me. I don't think it bothers that many people either. I mean, there's many of us who still love kiddy cartoons such as Spongebob squarepants. Rayman is not exactly a mature title, but that looks a blast, and so will probably be my next purchase.

 

Anyway, more childish titles are not going to harm the system.

So apparently Ubisoft like the Wii....

Meanwhile 360/PS3 gets epics like Assasin's Creed. And to those who say "the kids will love it, it's for them etc." well tbh I think they'd rather play fun games. Aka Wario Ware

 

I agree with you on that, but we do have Rayman and Red Steel which are both good and fun games despite reviews.

Companies will raise money for new games on ps3 and 360 by raising money from their wii titles such as ubisoft, activision, THQ, and possibly EA
That doesn't make sense as a business model though. If supporting Wii was an effective business model for them, there is no sense in "raising money" for any other business model. Each platform is supported on its business merit, unless passion mainly drove them to do otherwise (which is unlikely for those coorporate companies).

Actually stagecoach has used a similiar business plan when it comes to buses.

 

If Activision and lets say EA are competing for the No1 Xmas game. And each company has at least $20million. But Activision puts out a wii game in the summer that makes them $10million profit then they can put up to $10million extra on the cost of producing the ps3/360 game.

I'm not sure if I fully follow you, ZeldaFreak. In business terms, a more profitable path is exactly that - more profitable. If developing for ps3/360 is that worth your while, you would develop for it in the first place "to raise money" because it's more efficient. Any loss making or defficient platform would be dropped or less supported in a long run. GameCube went through that phase last gen.

 

There has to be an external influence for most big businesses to go off that track - for instance if MS approached a Nintendo supporter with a vast sum of cash to change their mind - that would be something else and often unpredictable. But I believe you were speaking more in general terms.
