Somehow the game is less of a game if its multiplatform.

 

If its exclusive it gets all the hype.

 

Heres how it is.

 

PS3 Fans - Hype every exclusive up and make it a 360 killer

360 Fans - Dont hype any game up, it  could be the best game ever and no one would mention it.

Wii fans- They got so many games coming out they cant hype them all up.

Wii fans tend to hype their games to death as well. Little King Story, Conduit, Madworld, No More Heroes, Dead Space, etc. The games they hype though have terrible sales.


And the only game that sold badly from the bunch is Dead Space...and that wasn't hyped at all.

Conduit, Madworld, Little King Story and NMH all sold pretty poorly......


Sega and HVS said Conduit sales were good, and Sega said MadWorld sales were good. Or do you want to argue over the company's word?

We haven't heard anything about LKS, but over 100k for a game like LKS is good I'd say too.

To be 100% Honest. Yeah I would argue over the company's PR statements. Especially when they have said that Madworld's sales were disappointing. You can say over a 100k is good for a game but really thats hardly true. Little King's Story selling a 100k when it plays like Pikmin on a 50M+ Userbase is a flop, no if ands, or buts about it. For the hype that was going on for the Conduit and all of the TV ads they kept bombarding us with it should have sold at least 500k, And No More Heores, while it may be getting a "Sequel" the creator Suda 51 expressed extreme disappointment for the games sales but had to "retract" his statements. That sounds fishy to me. 

And what about Muramasa? Wii fans have been dying for a good RPG and when they get one it flops? What about Arc Rise Fantasia? That game got better reviews that White Knight Chronicles yet WKC outsold it's LTD within it's first week? 

And don't forget a huge portion of sales for Madworld and No More Heroes came after the price drop. Madworld inparticular went to $30 after a few weeks. No More Heroes was going for $15 after a few months.

Wii fans tend to boast about legs but obviously front loaded sales are much more profitable.

I would have to agree with what you say. I don't like the double standard that when a game on the PS360 fails to go over 300k its a flop but if it's on the Wii, it gets an instant pass.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi
