| trestres said: Wow, the Wii is getting in more and more trouble as of late. Japan, UK all showing signs of SW simply not selling at all besides of MKWii and Wii Fit. I wonder if the US will go this way, let's hope it doesn't. |
Well Wii Fit, MK Wii, and Wii Play seem to be hurting sales of other games on the platform. Especially Wii Fit which costs as much as 2 games. Third parties and even Ninty franchises are having problems competing with this in the UK and in Japan similar scenario. While 360 and PS3 don't have a dominating franchise on the market. Thus they get numerous amounts of titles that start off well and then fade off. IN a way PS3 or 360 will have 9 titles do exactly as much as Wii Fit or 27 titles that do exactly as much as those 3 games listed above. And if we look at sales of those 3 titles on Wii you can understand the issues.
This is somethin that's pretty damn hard to hit head on because there's not much you can do to tell buyers to stop buying certain games. Just going to need more of an effort with the developers to advertise Wii games or Wii versions of games and Ninty to help give those some props as well. If not then these 3 games will continue to absorb majority of the sales on the platform. I think too many people forget that sales don't compete across platforms: they compete on the same platform and having to compete with that trifecta upt there isn't easy.
