| dougsdad0629 said: No matter how good games such as GTA Chinatown Wars on the DS or Madworld, etc. are on the Wii, it often seems like the sales numbers end up being extremely low considering the size of the userbase. This is an important lesson that IMO developers need to be aware of. Simply looking at the number of consoles sold is not good enough justification to make certain games. You have to know your audience. No matter how good GTA on the DS is, it's the wrong audience. This becomes a self perpetuating problem. A developer puts out a "hardcore" game, it sells poorly and it reduces the likelihood of them putting out more "hardcore" games. Therefore, the system has a hard time attracting "hardcore" gamers which is why the game sold poorly in the first place. Such a highly reviewed game from a MAJOR franchise, should not be down to almost half price already. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9185669&st=chinatown&type=product&id=1218049842431 |
There is a difference between "core" games and "adult" games. The DS and the Wii are not directly comparable in demographics, and to be honest, your argument that they are is very simplistic, not very well thought out, and an obvious attempt at degrading the DS console by grouping it in with the Wii and pretending they have the same issues.
Compare the sales of the top "core" games on the DS to the PSP and you'll understand why you were wrong.
Once you've done that, I await your reply.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
