No major Wii releases?

Hearing this a lot recently.

Nintendo and third parties all expected to dominate.

It didn't.

Now there is a void until Animal Crossing.

Still,there's always 2009..

Where did this come from? I'm not attacking or anything, I'm just wondering what games and what developers were expecting big sales. Considering almost every single 3rd part dev expected the Wii to fail (or not be very successful), it takes a while for them to start shifting their resources over. Yeah I know it's an old argument, but it's true. Look at the way 09 is turning out with releases so far, it looks great. Add that to the fact that Nintendo isn't announcing games too far in advance, and who knows what we might see next year!

 

 

 


 

I missed out the crucial part.. At first I almost thought there was an auto filter to remove, 'Wii Music' from posts

 

Hahahaha, well I don't have the game, but to be honest, from what I've seen it looks pretty cool. I don't see why there's so much hate. Your point was about sales though, and yeah I kinda agree. I expected it to do better on release, but I also believe this game will have huge legs. We'll just have to see what happens after the Holiday season!

Umm no we didn't all we said is that that game will sell millions of copies

 



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

 Honestly, people only expected it to dominate because of its pedigree. It certainly seemed like putting the title Wii on anything was a license to print money before then. The only ones who should really be considered to have dropped the ball on that one is Nintendo. The fact that they released it so close to GH:WT is a sure sign that they expected way too much out of the game.
