| Procrastinato said: @ItsaMii: Why would we talk about random new IP mini-successes on the Wii in this thread? You could go start a thread about how little games like NMH and Braid did really well... in a different thread. I think this one is about big licensed IP titles flopping on the HD consoles though. |
I was just being sarcastic. There were at least 243 threads about Madworld being a failure on its first week of sales. People also seem to have unrealistic expectations for artsy, low budget or new IPs on the Wii. The (semi) HD consoles have a respectable collection of flops and no one make a big deal of it.
1) Old IPs - Silent Hill, Golden Axe, Star Ocean, Tales (of Vesperia), Alone in the Dark, Shadowrun
2) New IPs - Conan, Lair, Haze, Infinite Undiscovery, Last Remnant, Valkyria Chronicles, Stranglehold, Fracture, Jericho, Folklore
3) Low Budget games - Bullet Witch, X-Blades, Ninja Blade, Operation Darkness, Onechanbara
There are more, these are the one I remember. Everyone is losing money on HD development (save for 4 or 5 companies with diversified investments) and all we can talk is about Z&W disappointing sales or how NMH and Madworld would do 1M + on the Xbox360 alone.
