it could easily be just another casualty of the HD movement.


LOL a game sold 700k first week and is a casualty of the HD movement. Funny. The post would be more intelligent if fighting games were much more successful on the only SD console of this generation.

What is even more ironic is that Capcom released an Action Adventure offshoot for the Wii. Which bombed. So apparently transforming a franchise to a more "modern" game type is not exactly limited to HD consoles.

 

1. The Wii actually has much more succeful fighting games, Super Smash Bros. Brawl anyone?

2. Soul Callibur is made by Bandai Namco, not Capcom.

3. Soul Callibur spin off for the Wii was developer by the lowest tier developer Bandai Namco had and even they admitted it was a terrible game.

4. Soul Callibur for the Wii was made a different genre because it was easier to develop, not because that genre was the popular mainstay of the console. Context before Content Kyros, Context before Content.

Get your facts strait before you troll Kyros, you're just making yourself look bad.

So becaue of one game that has a questionable status as a fighter, the wii now sells fighting games. The wii just sells nintendo games (along with a few other "mishaps"). SSBB is one of them.

 

Naruto did fairly well too. Though total sales were about SC first week sales.

The wii has yet to get a well reviewed "traditional" fighting game though outside of the anime cash ins.

It will be interesting to see how the PS3 Naruto sells... the 360 version sold much worse despite it being the better game.

The Ps3 version seems to have the most work put into it of the three.
