It has nothing to do with a game being good or not, but since like a Dewy is a new title and with lack of advertising, of course the game won't sell. And again, that game "isn't bad" at all!! But people rather buy hypes. Even if a Mario Galaxy or Brawl will get low review scores, the games will sell. Mario Party 8 isn't all too good according to reviewers, but does sell ridiculously well and not to imagine a WII Play and even a dumbass Brain Academy (US alone over 160.000 already). Here they throw around with commercials about that idiotic game. Forever Blue seems to be a good game, but doesn't sell all too well either in Japan and that... for a Nintendo title! Of course it has now the problem of having 2 nasty bugs, but Nintendo has resolved that and people can exchange their copy. Rayman is a solid game but not great and Red Steel I have no idea but I hear a lot of mixed feelings about that game and reviews show the game ain't all too good. Plus these titles were launch titles, which helps a lot in sales. |
I agree with everything this person said, except I think Red Steal is downright bad and Brawl and Galaxy will never get bad reviews because there is a minimum level of quality that is expected of a sequel to good games unless they totally go in a differente direction and neither have done that.
What I'm more interested in than how Dewy or Boogie do is that developers don't convince themselves that the Wii is only good for casual games and 1st party stuff, that's why I wanted Dewy to do well and I wanted Boogie to bomb (among other reasons in the case of the latter).
Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!
