Grampy,

On a console where Carnival Games, Game Party, Deca Sports, Smarty Pants, and others trounce most third-party hardcore games on the system why in your opinion should they take more risk, spend more money, and go against what is selling for third-parties on it? On a system where Wii Sports and Wii Play completely dominate sales and are very likely the reason why many people buy the console why do you feel developers should instead make games that the majority never bought the console for?

Please prove this because this seems to be the words of a troll.

 

 

Prove it?  I thought it was common sense and universally accepted that Wii Sports is a major reason for the Wii's success and can be attributed to selling many Wiis.  That it's the biggest system seller of all time.  Do you feel otherwise?  Please tell me what game you feel attracted more people to the console than Wii Sports.

As for accusing me of trolling, please feel free to point out which words are trolling.  If I provide posts of other members attributing the Wii's success to Wii Sports are you going to claim they're trolling too?

the controller sells the system and wii sports helps you test the controller, the system doesn't sell because the game looks appealing, the controller helps the game look appealing, and yes u do seem like a troll i looked at ur profile u have a bunch of 360 games why do u care about the wii if ur not a troll

 

 

If you don't own a system and post in a thread about it you're a troll?  Seriously look up the word before throwing it around.  It really seems like this is a case of shooting the messenger.

Chill Everyone. Let's not kill another good thread bickering like children. I accept your question as legitimate and I will respond. Every system has megahits that seem to appeal to it's core.  Certainly few things will sell on the hardcore more than GTA 4 for example. I assume we would then as legitimately claim that people bought these consoles particularly for that type of game.

LBP will never ever sell anything like GTA on the PS3, does that mean there is no room for it? Should it never have been written? No, of course not, it adds a great deal to the system and I'm glad it's there and hope it sells well.

Not every game can or should be a super megahit. Several of the games that some of the PS360 crowd like to ridicule the most on the Wii sre obviously target at a young female audience. They'll never sell a gazillion copies because young girls will probably never be a majority on the Wii or anywhere else. But statistics indicate they may well be between 30-40% of gamers. Shouldn't they have games.

Not everyone likes puzzle games like Boomblox, but a lot did. Enough to make it profitable.

And that's the bottom line, the more good games that add to variety and can turn a profit, the better off we all are.

 

 

i completely agree grampy i would like to get rid of the only troll on ur thread i think u should make it for strictly wii owners since they do know what they like, not a troll, he pretty much is claiming only games like wiisports and wiiplay sell on the wii when good games like brawl and mkwii and even wiifit sell extremely well he cant show me another game like wiisports and wiiplay that sell more than 8 million the tread u started completely fits the description of those games
