Forums - Gaming Discussion - Hardcore games don't sell on PS3 and 360

So if Wii, PS3, 360, and PC can't sell software, should 3rd parties just pack it in now?

"those are not real hardcore games because they are first party games" = WTF ?

And those two examples, they are not hardcore games, they are crappy games !

There is a lot of sad examples of great games selling poorly, but these two made mi laugh



Nico Bellic says HI, while Seargent Gary Roach Sanerson says YO, while Ezio/Altair plan to make fun of your joke and Lightning prepares to punch the joke.

Jokes aside I feel sad for Nier...I mean YOU GET TO FISH WHILE A SHEEP WATCHES YOU! How can that NOT sell billions? Explain people!

The other game whatever it is...who cares.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

We all know the PS3 and 360 struggle to sell hardcore games. Sure, Halo sold well on the 360 and Gran Turismo sold well on PS3, but those are not real hardcore games because they are first party games.

However, as we've seen time and time again, real hardcore games can't sell on 360 and PS3. Take this week for example. 2 HD games bombed so hard, you could hear it galaxies away:

- Dead to Rights failed to even reach 13k combined on both 360 and PS3 in its first week. How long will Namco Bandai continue to support these platforms?

- Nier die even worse: it sold a measly 8k combined on both systems. I'm pretty sure SE will stop HD development altogether at this point.

I'm pretty sure we can all agree on this: the HD consoles are d00med.

Dead To Rights came out today in North America. And what the hell is Nier?



How are people not getting this? He was more overt than Rol for pete's sake!

New Zealand is only 4M people. Even then only males like to fish so that removes half of the potential audience.



Tease.

Obviously the OP is cherry picking. Just like Wii haters. Lets face it tons of huge budget HD games flop just like a high number of Wii games. If you arn't making a sequel to a popular franchise chances are you will bomb on any platform. I htink the OP was just reminding us that the Wii seems to get more shit than the HD twins for the many flops they both see every year.

There should be an asterik next to the saying "Hardcore games don't sell on X console"

And it should read, 'Fucking crappy ass hardcore games don't sell on any console'



Good games on HD consoles sell well


Good games on casual console, well, madworld, no more heroes.
