3rd huge multiplatform release in a row where the Wii fails to have sales in relation to the marketshare it holds.
First was Madden, second FU, third Fifa.( say what you want, when you have a 50% marketshare it be nice to get at least 40%+ software share on multiplat titles and the 'legs' argument is getting old, Fifa is gonna need legs that last past the next Fifa release to get the Fifa Wii above 40% marketshare...

Wii is shaping less and less to be the a generation winner the way the PS2 was ( multiplatform titles on PS2 destroyed the others platforms..).

Either or a lot of the core gamer owning a Wii own a HD console too and buy those titles on their HD consoles ( possible but doubtfull..) or the Wii owners just don't like traditional sports games..

 

Revenue generated by Fifa09 in Week 1 :

 

PS3  : 388 472 * 60 = 23 Million euros

Xbox360  : 310 624 * 60 = 18.6 million euros

Wii : 35710 *45 = 1.6 million Euros

PS2 : 124325 * 35 = 4.3 million Euros.

 

Wii revenue share : 3.3%

Wii market share in Others : 43.2%

And then some people complain about third party lack of enthusiasm for the platform..

So far it still seems that not all games do well on the Wii..
