Gamerace said: @yushire - Look at Capcom, they've just announced all major titles will now be on 360/PS3/PC. Wii will get support but it seems no major titles. Core gamers buy a lot of games. It's not a problem to sell 1m on PS3/360/PC. The only problem is making a profit off of only 1m games sold on 360/PS3/PC. The development cost is killing many smaller publishers but for larger companies like Capcom it's still their bread and butter. |
Which is sad because in Japan alone the only 3rd parties that supports HD consoles are SEGA, Squeenix, Namco Bandai and Konami. Most of the middle tier 3rd parties jump ship already like Hudson and Marvelous Entertainment. Same thing that will happen in NA...
In year 2009 as I predicted there'll be big jump ship with middle tier 3rd parties what SONY and MS afraids the most.
end of core gaming days prediction:
E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced
E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.
E3 2010- Tape runs out
