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.

You know I wish adults could occasionally conduct a serious discussion without it turning into another  fanboy pecker measurement contest. This is so old. I don’t care what console you have, or want or got the f**k rid of. I don’t even care what you think about the Wii and I’m sorry if its overwhelming success ruins your day. That has been talked to death.

This thread was inspired by Developers acknowledging that they needed to learn how to serve this new and rapidly growing community. It a trick to try to survive. The idea here was simply to sort out some of the basic market difference. Whether you think we deserve the “big” games or any games at all is irrelevant. The developers will decide.

The biggest fundamental difference between the two market groups is this. The majority of HD console owners and fans are male, from 16-30. The games that do well are the games designed for them, by other males and reviewed essentially by the same group. Unfortunately it is a group that sometimes tends to be defensive, intolerant loud and abrasive, especially the younger members. They tend to judge the world strictly in terms of their own tastes and viewpoint.

Where'd you get that idea?
