I don't think "third parties can't sell on Nintendo platforms flies much around here anymore, though I could be wrong. At E9 o9 Nintendo continue to shout Wii Sold the most third party software of any console. They also recently said Wii has sold more software LTD than 360 LTD given its 1yr headstart. If third parties can't sell on Ninty platforms, explain the DS to me. If you know your history you'll note that much of the things being said about the Wii was said about the DS years before. And further history shows the NES was said to be a fad and killing gaming as well. So this is just par for the course. Speaking of Pars have you played Tiger 10? awesome game btw. Metacritic is pointless. Everytime I heard EA or Ubi bring up Metacritic scores I had to roll my eyes. Again, this has to be echoed, "third parties can't sell on Wii, Third parties can't sell on Wii" But guess who's whispering this..M$ and Sony. ThirdParties are really all they've got, if they leave for Nintendo..game over. |
You missed my point. 3rd parties are just fine with their creative and casual trends, I just want to say that 3rd parties + hardcore gaming formula just won't work on Nintendo Platforms. What is hardcore gaming? The opposite of Imagine Babyz, some mature titles like GTA/Zelda which include better immersive experience and more complicated gameplay which Imagine Babyz and unresponsive controls' titles like Game Party and Jillian Michaels counldn't provide.
Poor PS3 Sales Means Smaller Losses
"Actually, because the number of units sold was not as high as we hoped, the loss was better than our original expectation," Quotes from Sony’s CFO Nobuyuki Oneda.
