Reggie Talks Third-Party Support, Playstation MovePosted 12:56pm Wed Mar 17, 2010 by Zach Lott Tags: Nintendo, Wii, Reggie FilsAime, Playstation Move

If you've been less than satisfied with the Wii's third-party support over the past couple of years, it turns out that you aren't alone.

Speaking to IndustryGamers, Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime made several comments about Nintendo's relationship with third parties, saying that he feels like the company has given developers "a large installed base, an easy platform to develop for, and a strong set of tools" and hinted that core titles such as Dante's Inferno and Bioshock 2 might be more financially viable on the Wii than on the Playstation 3 or Xbox 360.

From the interview:

"The fact of the matter is we know we create great content for younger consumers, we know we've got great content for more casual players, and we want fantastic content for that more active player who loves Metroid or Zelda but maybe also wants something like a BioShock 2 to play as well. And we also recognize that we don't create that type of content ourselves. We're not good at it and it's not a key focus area. So we want that content on our platform, so we have to court third-party developers and encourage them to make [those games], but it also has to be financially viable for them as well."

Fils-Aime went on to talk about the impact marketing has on sales and how many publishers' unwillingness to market their games over a longer period of time hurts sales, saying that they need to "be focused against the right consumer target" and "support it beyond day one."
