It may be the best selling console, but you need to consider demographics. A much higher proportion of Wii owners (compared to the other consoles) are little kids and grannies, who wouldn't be interested in a new Oddworld game. Far better to develop for a console with smaller market share but a core ownership of dedicated gamers interested in new and innovative properties.

Realistically, I don't think Lorne would make a full fledged oddworld game for the wii; it's just not a powerful enough system to support his vision.

But the Wii's more capable than the Xbox, right? and there were two full fledged Oddworld games for that.

No.

That is unfortunately True.

Nintento sells Wii, very overpriced cheap hardware.

It's overpriced and cheap in what way?

The PC/mobile has a larger market than Wii, and it's more powerful when you think about the kind of 3D engines capable of running off your internet browser these days.
I don't see any Oddworld games being developed for closed console platforms in the near future. Maybe something for a future "On-Live" service would make more sense.

Yes, but the Xbox is, what, 7 years old now? I think Lorne will go for the other cnosoles; I'd say the ps3 over the 360, as he's had some issues with microsoft in the past.

That didn't answer the question, was comprised of half-truths, and contained copious amounts of wishful thinking. All in all a pretty solid post.

How is the Wii cheap hardware? its one of the most powerfull game consoles going and its worth the money.

plus it annoys me when people say that Wii games has terrible graphics
Take Mario Galaxy for example. that game out classes most Xbox games graphacally.

I don't know what you think makes a games console qualify as "going", but for your first statement to be correct I assume it's that it's been commercially available at some point in the last three decades.

Whoah, whoah, whoah. No, it doesn't. It's pretty, but it's not that pretty.

I agree, just look at graphics for games like Cod6 and GoW2, much better, and hey I have a wii not an xbox360 or PS3. Hey to stop a console war I propose this, why not hold the game on a platform we all know and love, the PlayStation 1

I never had a PS1... can't say I feel any love for it.
Anyway I don't really think Lorne will release anything on a Nintendo console any time soon (at least sooner then on anything else).

I had two of these suckers here, and they were fuckety pieces of work and no mistake.

The original PlayStation is the only games platform I've ever owned that still works (apart from my current PC), so it has that going for it.

Same, my PS1 I have had since 2005 (5 years) and it still works, in that time I've collected around 30 PS1 games all of them still work almost perfectly! They where wise to make AO and AE for it.

I played on my Mega Drive yesterday.

Never had a mega drive ,where they any good back in their day?

The Mega Drive was very good in it's day. Particularly Sonic 2/3.

Sonic & Knuckles especially.

I never got into Sonic and Knuckles as much as Sonic 3. (EDIT: this in reverse, I prefer Sonic and Knuckles) I never liked Sonic 2, either, but that was mainly due to the last level of the 2^nd world with the rising purple water. I played Sonic in 2 years, so I'll probably do it easily next time I try, which will be soon due to this.

I've never liked Sega Consoles that much. i love the Mega Drive thats about it and the original Sonics are the only ones i like.
My first console was a PlayStation. I still have it along with Crash Bandicoot and Spyro games.

I hope that Lorne will not release it on the Wii as wll. It would change the whole gaming experience. I cant imagine myself having a work out just to control Abe's movements. I sometimes wish to get in character and pretend I was Abe -dont ask- but having to wiggle and swing is taking it too far. The PS3 would have really good graphics to watch the oddoworld cinematics. However I have a 360 so I would prefer if he release it on that.

ugh.. Rail shooters. Possibly the most boring genre ever.

And the main reason why the Wii is the most sold console is that familys buy it. if an Oddworld Game came out. they wouldn't have a clue what it is.

well since i got a wii 3 days ago...
1- rail shooters DO NOT suck.
2- wii isn't just family console, there are games that are violent as hell MK:A and the resident evil stuff
3- graphics aren't the most important thing in videogames, gameplay, story and atmosphere are the stuff which affect the atmosphere, and the wii is a seventh gen console so it kinda has graphics that are way better than ps2, xbox and gamecube....

1- Yes, they do. (Clash of opinions, there is no point pursuing this)

2- We never said that the Wii was intended for families, we said the majority of its owners were families.

3- The graphics on a 7th gen console are better than that of any 6th gen console... Is that an achievement? We're talking about the Wii in relation to PS3 and X-box 360. It looses that battle.

explain exactly how wii loses to ps3 and xbox360?

Graphic wise, like he said, like you said...
