If you mean the exception of being "good 3rd party games that make a profit" you might be right. However, I have a feeling even the bad shovelware for the Wii probably makes a profit or breaks even. Not high profile shovelware that makes millions like Carnival Games, but even crap like Gingerbread Men. I mentioned that earlier, most of the third parties that made money on the Wii would not be mentioned in a kind manner in the Nintendo forum. There is one thing for sure. There hasn't been any big budget bombs on the Wii, like there are nearly every week on a HD console. Braid will probably be in the negative for a while, for instance, and it's one of the better games, with great reviews. Imagine how much money Haze lost. Its Ironic that the reason why the Wii hasn't had many great original games yet is because Publishers are "risk averse" and they stick with what they know. Hence the reason for sequels and cookie cutter games. The market doesn't reward innovation typically, if it did - we would see a whole lot more original IPs/Gameplay styles. |
Tease.
