| Erik Aston said: Harvest Moon and Clone Wars? What? I think people undersell the Wii by saying bundles or price drops are their big cards to play. There's some overlooked big points for Wii. - Advantage with music games. They'll finally have all the band games, mostly ungimped, and street cred with ALL the audiences that play them. - Advantage with liscensed games, including the Lego titles, High School Musical, and animated film games, which will have long legs and high holiday sales. - A huge first party catalog with long legs. Wii Sports, Wii Play, Wii Fit and Mario Kart especially will drive hardware over the holiday season. - Sequels to tons of Wii's third party hits: Game Party, MySims, Raving Rabbids, Sonic, Carnival Games. All together, Wii's third party exclusive sequels have more power than a Motorstorm 2 or Resistance 2, or even a Gears 2. - More unknown entities. Wii has more potential breakout hits that we simply don't know the power of yet. I don't just mean things like De Blob or Mushroom Men, but also the odd games in Ubisoft's or EA's "casual" lineup. The corporate strategies may be busted, but the developers still turn out something worthwhile sometimes. Also, Reask... No one is discussing quality of titles. The discussion is about who has the sales drivers for the holidays. |
de Blob is the only interesting thing you mentioned.
