Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Key Weakness of the Wii - Graphic Capabilites?

Quite honestly, this site is a fanboy fest anyway. It's main purpose is to create ad revenue for its creator, who sits in his bedroom thinking up sales figures which are then adjusted when the real numbers appear from trustworthy sources. That is why this site is held in very low regard in the gaming community.

Feel free to brandish the ban hammer, but deep down you know what I just said is bang on the money. ;)

 

Wow, I ask you to remain civil and you shed your disguise right away?  Thanks for making it easy.

And no, thats not deep down. I know full well the purpose of the forums is to create ad revenue...so the site can remain in operation.  I know how much it cost for server parts, maintainence, bandwidth, etc.... Not to mention how much time Brett puts into the weekly sales numbers.  I hope he takes some of that money to bank, he certainly earns it..why should he be ashamed of that?

As for the sales numbers...sounds like sour grapes to me =)

Well it was fun, enjoy the ban. Me? Oh I'm off to prepare a list of questions for a VGC exclusive interview..you know..with the industry that regards VGC so lowly.

Don't mean to go off topic, but was he permabanned?

Back on topic, the Wii's only weakness was that too many developers were dismissing it at first. Capcom admitted this, but are not giving the Wii their support, especially since they know their games can sell on it.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

I wonder if Capcom is still "testing" the Wii......

Nah, it "passed", hence the Dead Rising remake and more original titles (whereas it used to be no effort ports or low budget stuff....albeit low budget stuff that was still awesome). That said, I'm still pissed that Svennson had the gall to say that in the first place. Someone forgot who has to pass whose tests...

That's so true. But maybe the "test" was for some other reason than derision and mockery of the fanbase. Maybe, just maybe.

The test was to see how well games would sell on the Wii. The game sold well (even Okami and Zak & Wikki have made a few million in revenue), so the Wii passes.

I hope the results to these "tests" will be notable before next year.

No, I get that, and considering the stereotypes I can't really blame Capcom for "testing" in the first place. My problem is what  they said and how they said it. We don't have to jump through hoops to please developers; the relationship set up in the statement is right, but the roles were ass-backwards.

But maybe fkusmot is right, and there was another motive to Svennson's comments beyond being an arrogant ass.

Maybe.

Actually the Jap divison just hate the Wii.

 



If the jap division hates the Wii, then that confirms that Capcom is willing to give up the profits during this gen.
