Take it easy champ....  you have Mad world, No more heroes, deadly creatures and de blob... all sucumbed to the mighty that is "Guiness world records: the game" or "Jullian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum".

I stand corrected it was not the best example, but my point is still valid.

You do realize that Jullian Michaels and Guiness World Records also outsold HD games like Valkyria Chronicles, Banjo-Kazooie, Tales of Vesperia, and many more.

Right?

 

That's exactly the point.

Unless you're making a game like Jullian Michaels or Guinness World Records, or Carnival Games, or a game from a big brand, chances are your game won't sell very well on Wii.

Then it's kind of a silly one, since the examples I cited are good to fantastic HD games (two of which were from recognized franchises...) which were outsold by the aforementioned, inexplicably hated games. =^/ Seeing as how the original point was that good traditional games were outsold by the two titles mentioned, with the implication that such traditional titles would have done much better on another system, I'd say you don't have much of a point.

Well, Valkyria Chronicles, Banjo-Kazooie and Tales of Vesperia would probably have sold even worse on Wii, so we have no way of knowing that, I suppose.

But let's take another example: Call of Duty: World at War. 5.4 million on 360, 3.22 million on PS3, 1.12 million on Wii. This is actually a comparison we can make. Why is it that, despite the fact that the Wii has well over double the PS3's userbase, the PS3 version outsold the Wii version almost 3:1? And why did the 360 version outsell the Wii version well over 4:1?
