| Arius Dion said: The funny thing that kills me is, if they decided to put this game out exclusively on any console I wonder the kind of sales they would receive. And to use this as a "benchmark" or proof that third party games don't sell is utterly ridiculous. A dying genre with a niche art style was expected to sell millions upon millions of units? This without any marketing and a Wii install base less than half of what it is now? And this is the basis for "original games don't sell" Seems like a cop out and a half assed reason to bitch about. |
It does always make me smile inside when people call the game a nishe project which couldn't possibly sell! and then suggest Capcom didn't do enough to market it. Marketing isn't cheap, and marketing a nishe project is never going to happen for a company on the scale of Capcom.
I don't think anyone has suggest this as a benchmark for Wii third party sales or anything. More just interesting comparing it to VGChartz sales and drives home a bit of realism in my opinion, not all Wii projects are going to make money, it's not as cheap safe investment as it's made out to be etc.
