Goody! Just like a cute actress, you don' t know is an actress..

There are two rules to success:

1. Never tell all you know.

You can bet it' ll be different with western developers.

I like how they mention they like the xbox360' s system' s ease of development, but don' t prefer developing for it.

what is best in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you and to hear the lamentation of their women!

I like how they mention PS3' s " Visual Power" but 360 is the same or better.

On the top of the PS3 and Wii lists, it should' ve said *Made in Japan (100 votes)

Chee saw thats because the PS3 doesn' t have a lot going for it compaqed to the 360. Live and ease of development are far more important that any difference in graphic ability with PS3.

Also Gaius Japanese devs probably prefer developing on the PS3 because it will sell far better then the 360, 360 is a joke in Japan.

I' m actually looking forward to this I gotta wonder if a full English one would be made, but at least I can play the Japanese one.

I read and it really puts a smile on my face.

It quite clear Nintendo has pretty much achieved what it set out to do with the Wii, and Japanese developers are taking notice! IF they want in on the Wave of momentum that Wii is enjoying they better hurry up and make some Wii games to get in on the action - plus the rumour of up to 9 million Wiis by years end should really increase there chances of high game sales.

So stop taking these stupid surveys already and get cracking on some new and interesting Wii games - you' ll be glad you did!

Yeah, because as soon as people find out how quickly they become bored of the Wii they won' t buy any more games. So it' s very important to be in on the first wave when people still have hope.

The first wave is usually a precursor to a larger more deadlier wave - Tsunami/Wii

It will (hopefully) wash away the competition (figuratively speaking).

Sure, it' s easier to develop for it, but unfortunately they are looking at a market in which only about 26 people in Japan have actually bought a 360!
