| ClaudeLv250 said: This thread is a clusterfuck waiting to happen and sounds like waaaambulance trying to dismiss the Wii install base to alleviate the pain of butthurt fanboys since the Wii is still destroying the PS3 and 360 in hardware sales. I think it's pretty obvious why the Wii version is selling slightly less. It has an expanded audience and thus those people aren't necessarily interested in a big budget mediocre Star Wars hack 'n slash. I'm actually surprised it's keeping up this well with the HD versions; to me it looked significantly worse and some of the extras seemed like a halfassed way to offset it being a PS2 port. But the oddest this is, why would anyone pick this game to whine about? It's enjoying phenomenal sales and will without a doubt pass the 1 million mark on all 3 current gen consoles, so where exactly does the complaining start? The gap between the Wii version isn't anywhere near the size of the grand canyon that separates the PS3 version of GH3 from Wii60 and yet I don't see anyone dailing whine one one to scrutinize the PS3's install base. |
Well said.
From what I've heard, the amount of love that went into the PS360 version of the game absolutely did NOT go into the Wii version of the game. It's an inferior game because it was treated as a second-rate project. They definitely could've gotten better visuals, better wiimote motion controls, etc. out of the game but they didn't.
That said, what do you expect?
"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks
