Stop moaning about the Wii version, it sold 20k first week, the PS3 sold 600k first week

They also want more than 6 months to develop it

 

Anyway, all I care about is do they have the chelsea licence or not?

You DO know the football season is almost over, right?  

Not being able to sell a football game on Wii is purely and solely a marketing issue. Or did PES suddenly change into a extremely mature hardcore game when I wasn't paying attention? Releasing it 6 months after the other games and when the competitions are almost finished doesn't really help in marketing it.

Quite the opposite, football is reaching fever pitch now with Champions league semi finals, the league drawing to a close, this is the most exciting part of the year for football fans. The PS2 version of PES 2009 outsold the Wii version, the Wii version only sold 16k second week, and on PS3 is sold 12k this week. They put effort into making a proper Wii version, but people aren't buying it. There is not point in just giving yourself 6 or so months to put another one on the shelf

Yes, but within 6 weeks your game is outdated...

And I think it's dumb to put effort in a Wii game if you aren't even trying to sell it. Especially since the series is down incredibly and again it wouldn't be a hard sell on Wii and PES needs to sell to the casual part of the PS2 audience as well.
