Nice way of jumping on Legend guys. Let me repeat what he tried to say.


Why would third party spend more money to create bigger games when they don't have to in order to make a profit?

 

lawl, are you back in 2007 too?

I think we've heard that same argument way too many times to count...yet devs seem to not care.

1. Lowest cost
2. Highest userbase

There you go. Reason enough. Or should the PS2/DS also gotten only shovelware...because they sold them well too? I mean...no point when they sell those well right?

Yet devs pretty much say "**** you" to people who say that.

 

the fact that you guys feels the wii deserve the big games is funny. This is business and thanks to the market, the wii has shown us that small budget games can do pretty well on it.

The wii will sell as much or more than the Ps2, but its no PS2, AND NEVER will. The ps2 got all the big games, all of them.

First off, the PS2 didn't get all the big games because (obviously) games like Halo, Mario, Zelda, Super Smash Bros and Mario Kart were not released for it.

Now, when you look at how games like Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess and Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition have all sold as well (or in most cases better) than similar games in the previous generation it becomes clear that there is a massive demand for games that are more complex than what most third party publishers are producing.
