Im not so sure people would recognize it. We havehad Red Steel and Rayman sell over a million, we have had Trauma Center become the BEST selling game by Atlus ever, we have had RE:4 soaring past Capcoms expectations, we have had Harry Potter outsell the 360 and PS3 versions, we had Tigerwoods Wii outsell its 360 version, We have had DQ:S approaching 500k in a few weeks, Mario party (made by Hudson not Nintendo) tearing things a part, Cooking Mama seriously saving the developers rear ends helping them get out of the red, and later this fall Guitar Hero 3 will do well and Madden will do decently so on and so forth,
and yet people are still saying "If only a few more 3rd party titles would do well". At this point, it seems that no matter what the 3rd partys sell people arent willing to admit there is 3rd party success on the Wii. We keep finding ways to disqualify them all:
"Well rayman and redsteel were launch titles, and Trauma center was a DS port up, and RE:4 is one of the best games of last hen, and who cares about Harry potter, Tiger woods was obviously better suited for the wii, and DragonQuest anything always sells, Mario Party sucks, Cooking Mama is casual garbage, and GH3 sells well on ANYTHING"
When you eliminate every 3rd party game that sells well through some means of filtering, how can then turn and say 3rd party games dont sell well on Wii? But thats not the grandest of irony. The biggest is watching remake vs remake (RE:Wii vs NinjaGaiden Sigma) and overall 3rd party sales vs the PS3 that the Wii is shattering. And noticing how we never see a thread titled "PS3's lack of 3d party success"
You guys have been conditioned the last 10 years that 3rd parties cant succeed on Nintendo and your stuck seeing things that way even though it has changed before your eyes. This gen has a new target that cant sell 3rd party software, and its not a Nintendo platform. Maybe in another year youll realize that.
