oh yeAH FPS ARE THE TRUE HARDCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK YEAH BABY

The Conduit sucks in front of gems like Halo, in quality and quantity of features. Devil May Cry is a miles better beat 'em up than Madworld (although they are certainly not exactly comparable).

I think those games would have sold better if they were in HD. People these days don't want to play shooters in last gen graphics. I'm one of them. PS Move will most likely have better sells for shooters cause of HD. That's how I see it.

1. The Wii doesn't have last gen graphics. Devs don't bother to put effort into it.

2. The games would of sold better if more effort was put into them and were promoted.

3. the Playstation Move has lag and is a rip off of the Wii Mote and nunchuck. Also they are decent number PS3 gamers not happy with the move.

1. I agree with you that the Wii does not have last gen graphics, but it sure as hell does not have next-gen graphics.. its only slightly stronger then the gamecube and Black on PS2 still looks better then any Wii game I have seen to date..

 

2. Why do they need to promote their games so heavily? games on HD consoles and PC can sell without huge promoting and huge effort.. small budget titles are also able to break a million on HD consoles.. despite the much smaller install base.

 

3. The playstation move has lag? not in the video's I saw.. and it is only in development stages, there are also alot of things known about the PS move being in development for over 10 years.. and the main concept has never changed.. a camera that senses the big plastic ball creating a wii-mote like effect.. it was being made for the eyetoy.. wich was released many years before the Wii was announced.  I can however agree on it being inspired by the wii-mote. ofcourse there are PS3 gamers not happy with the move.. I am still sceptical myself.. but that does not give you the ability to give false facts about it.

 

I see your fairly new to this site and perhaps you need to learn a thing or 2.. but I can tell you right now that its not going to end well the way your currently headed..

I personally don't think those games didn't sell coz of the crap graphics. I mean people who buy the games for the Wii don't have HUGE expectations when it comes to graphics. If graphics like that was a PS3 or X360 game, then that's a different story.



It's cause they didn't have a brand name or a $20 million advertising budget...



Those games didn't sell that well because they're not AAA quality games. I've played most of them and they're only semi decent.



Horrible thread.

About half of those games actually sold really well (Overkill, NMH, Resident Evil, Silent Hill), some just sold ok (The Conduit, MadWorld), and others flopped for a number of reasons (Red Steel 2: lack of multiplayer, etc.)
