"your using 2 established franchises bought on name alone to justify sales of a completley new i.p...not gonna work."
Talk about deliberately ignoring someone's point. It was about the audience those games proved, not the IP. |
well maybe i should have elaborated more , audience becomes less relevant when a franchise is established , e.g i might watch LOTR but mostly dislike fantasy movies , play MGS4 but not really like stealth shooters or play smg but not realy like platformers.
the bigger the franchise the more willing we are to overlook tthe gere that fanchise is assocated with , this is whhy ii saidd bengas point was weakk.

It's really the other way around. These series are established among core-gamers (you know those people that don't actually own a Wii), still they sell very well on Wii.
That's my whole point abour RE and Zelda selling well on Wii, it proves that there's a sizeable core audience for core games.

Are you just ignoring my point ? titles that can sell on name alone will not proove your point.
e.g " i love fps's i think i'll buy conduit " =could core gamer
e.g2 " i love the resident evil movies , i'll give that game a try " = proly isn't a core gamer
e.g3 "I always see that Ninty character my son has the figurines , i'll give that game a try" =proly isn't a core gamer

If you just want to ignore the point that someone that buys a Zelda or RE game has a high chance of liking core games that's fine. I'm talking about the audience for the Conduit, not a 1:1 relationship. Red Steel also sold a million, as did Metroid 3 also prove that there is in fact an audience for Conduit. But please ignore all that.
But seriously stating that 5 million people bought Twilight Princess because his/her son has Zelda figurines is completely retarded. And someone that saw the RE movies isn't very likely to ever spend a cent on the franchise again.
