Release a not big IP on Wii and it just does abysmal. But larger userbase forces ya to put it there. I mean quite a tough situation for them there which is why it isn't surprising that all Square Enix is doing is remaking their old games. I think later on the best thing for devs to do in Japan is either doe WiiPS360 for their games or simply keep it handheld on PSP and DS. |
That's why companies like Square-Enix and Capcom are trying to make more money in the West, to make up for declining sales of core gamer games in Japan.
