It seems fairly odd that people don't see this from EA's perspective.
- The best selling games on the Wii are established Nintendo franchises (Zelda, Mario... etc etc) and previous gen ports (RE4). For a poor quality game like Mario Party 8 to sell very well exemplifies the whole 1st party / party game bias that seems to plague the the wii.
- There is no substantial proven market (given the # of consoles out there) for stand-alone sports games on the Wii. While the Wii Fit will provide some opportunities for innovative sports games, it is resonable to say for the time being there have been no stand-alone 3rd party sports games doing exceptionally well on the Wii.
- Given point 2, for the time being it is resonable to expect that any EA sports titles that end up on the Wii will be ps2 ports. We see this happening with ps3 ports of x360 games. Most games that go x360 ---> ps3 often turn out fairly poorly, usually ranking lower than their x360 counterparts.
people in this thread seem to say "if the game wasn't crap... then i'd buy it" or "if the game didn't suck... it would sell better". if it was that much better, do you think it would push numbers anywhere near xbox 360, ps3 or ps2 numbers? just wondering..
