The fact that they came out months later is the reason they sold so poorly. When will they finally release a game on a Nintendo with all the features found in the other games AT THE SAME TIME OF RELEASE? There is always a 'but' factor with these games they call 'support. It is mass effect, but no dlc, a year later, and you can get 3 mass effect games for the same price. It is madden 13, BUT, the engine is the same as the PS2 as opposed to the one we just made that changes the entire game, and there are fewer features, while releasing 3 months after all the other versions. EA obviously has an axe to grind these days, Nintendo is nto infallible, but this shit is just ridiculous. |
Look at Mass Effect 2 on PS3 http://www.vgchartz.com/game/46825/mass-effect-2/Global/
Came out a year later than the 360 version yet it still sold well. There is an audience for it. It's smaller than on 360, but its there and its profitable.
Now lets look at Mass Effect 3 sales
1 | Mass Effect 3 | X360 | 2012 | Role-Playing | Electronic Arts | 1.71 | 0.67 | 0.03 | 0.25 | 2.65 |
2 | Mass Effect 3 | PS3 | 2012 | Role-Playing | Electronic Arts | 0.48 | 0.36 | 0.03 | 0.16 | 1.03 |
3 | Mass Effect 3 | PC | 2012 | Role-Playing | Electronic Arts | 0.31 | 0.30 | 0.00 | 0.10 | 0.71 |
4 | Mass Effect 3 | WiiU | 2012 | Role-Playing | Electronic Arts | 0.03 | 0.01 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.04 |
Mass Effect 3 sales on Wiii U are abysmal. There doesn't seem to be an audience for this game on Wii U. The question is if EA is willing to spend the time and money to try and create one. Will the next Mass Effect release on Wii U? Would a simultaneous release even make much of a difference?
Another example is Black Ops 2. It only came out 1-2 weeks after the PS3/360 versions yet it still sits at a measly 150k sales. This is an absolute flop considering the PS3 and 360 versions are over 10million. But still, there still seems to be an audience for the game on Wii U. This ones does seem to have potential for future growth simply because the Call of Duty brand is so massive.
