Comeau talks about the darkside of Wii’s popularity: no one buying Wii games

We all know about Nintendo Wii’s current popularity in the gaming console market, and the claim is backed up by credible proof in the form of numbers, both in the console sales count as well as Nintendo’s stock value. But there has to be a dark side for every shining moment, and TheStreet’s research analyst Michael Comeau may have an idea about what exactly the Wii’s dark side is: there are less and less people buying Wii games, especially third-party titles.

In his video interview, Comeau said that Nintendo did a good job in moving consoles, but somehow failed when it comes to selling software. The few good games that the Wii has, he said, are mostly developed by Nintendo itself. He claims that only a few people buy third party games, which could be very alarming.

Why so? Comeau explained that it may scare off third-party developers from creating any more Wii titles, and Nintendo’s waggling console may suffer if they bolt from making more games for the Wii. Comeau also said that because of this, the Wii may fall off the pedestal it’s sitting off right now and get bumped off the spot by Sony‘s PlayStation 3.

He also mentioned a lot of good points regarding his prediction, but its better to listen to the entire video. Go ahead and click on the Play button below to listen to the interview!
