Currently, we get the following numbers: *snip random made up numbers* Overall, it was worth it to make the Wii version. But given the abundant sales of the PS3 and X360 versions....They certainly did better, despite higher costs to develop. |
What everyone seems to be failing to grasp is that even if the profit in terms of raw numbers on the PS3/360 version is better than on the Wii, what matters more is the profit compared to the investment. The point is if a Wii version of a game costs 1/4 as much to make but ends up making 1/2 as much profit as its HD cousin, it is a better investment. because EVEN THOUGH it made less money, you could make 4 of those games for the same price in the same time and end up with 2x the profit. Ignore raw profit numbers, ROI is the important factor.
That being said, CoD Wii sold crap, and I would put good money on the ROI being higher for the HD versions. This thread fails because no one knows what they're talking about.
Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!
