| Groucho said: Some pretty unspectacular numbers for the Wii version of FIFA 09 this week... not unexpected, as pro sports games on the Wii have failed pretty severely, relative to the HD consoles, time and time again, despite the Wiis install base. Why? Anyone have any good ideas as to why these titles keep running into the ground? They don't have "legs", contrary to popular belief (look here on VGCharts for some perspective), they just fall down. It seems as though the Wii should appeal more, being a largely "blue ocean" demographic, in the sports genre, with which the general populace is, presumably, already well acquainted... much like gambling and party games, which have appealed to the Wii audience in record numbers. |
You don't look around the site much do you?
Despite having the lowest opening week sales for Tiger Wood PGA Tour 09, the Wii version managed to have greater total sales by the 5th week than either the 360 or PS3 version
The EA American Football game sold better on the 360, but the Wii's sales have dropped off much slower than the PS360 - Wiiversion should catch PS3 version before all is said and done. Expecting any console to outsell the 360 in American Football sales is ludicrous - if the 360 was a (pseudo)sport, it would be American Football
