h2dksaid:
What is your definition of bombed? You say Pokemon and Excite Truck both bombed...so I guess Mario Strikers and Sonic both bombed as well?
Pokemon at 275,000
Excite Truck at 305,000
are both busts, yet RE4 "shattered capcom's sales records" at 384,000
Just to prove my point regarding Stranglehold and The Darkness selling as much or more than most Wii 3rd party games:
SSX Blur 130,000
The Bigs 120,000
Cooking Mama 170,000
Spiderman 3 216,000
Madden 08 150,000
Tiger Woods 08 65,000
Harry Potter 100,000
Surf's Up 50,000
Transformers 100,000
Brunswick Bowling 30,000
Boogie 90,000
Carnival Games 70,000
flop, flop, flop, flop, flop, flop, flopity flop.....
Well I counter your stereotype: "the 360's target userbase is teenagers and college age males"
with my own: "Wiis target market is prepubescent children and the elderly"
catch you on the flip...flop
Nice job misquoting me about Resident Evil 4 btw. "RE4 shattered Capcom's sales projections." Capcom said they expected to ship 400,000 copies of the remake worldwide. They have sold 510,000 worldiwde. That means they have shipped more than 700,000. That's far above their sales projections. Again I find myself requesting you debate maturely, and not change what I say or pull stuff out of your ass.
I'm sorry, but I specifically requested that you find a new argument. This is boring. It's like talking to a parrot who can only say one thing. Maybe you are just a little special and need it said more clearly The Wii's 3rd party game library is not good right now. Comparing the sales of bad shovelware to 8.0+ games on the 360 that cost many times more and were rated much higher is ignorant and ridiculous.
You picked an entire list of horrible games as if to reinforce exactly what I have been saying the whole time. Cheap cash-ins sell like crap on the Wii, as they should be expected to. The Darkness and Stranglehold were multi-million dollar games which cost their companies substantial losses. The list of shovelware you just posted combined cost less than either of those games.
I said the 360's target market. I didn't say there aren't gamers who are older than that (and many younger than that) with 360s. The Wii's target market is clearly not only children and old people. It's everyone. Their commercials show this quite clearly. They range from kids, to adults, to college students, to teens playing their games.
You are boring me. Please either come up with something new or flee the topic.
