Nintendo - Wii not harcdore? - View Post

Nice that everybody defines "hardcore" instead talking about the (intended) topic. It seems to me that the Wii has a high casual audience that just don't buy a given type of game. Maybe they are wrong for the Wii, but I say MP3 pumped in NA big time. Given the install base, the high review and that is a first party title, the sells are underwhelming. And that could be a problem for Big N in the long run.

If their first party action title doesn't hit, why should third party back them up on that part? I can see better sales for the game in the E.U. because I think (except U.K) the Wii isn't that hyped here and it is a console of choice for a lot of PC gamers. The Software market in Japan is strong, given the titles release, but in NA the software on the Wii is under performing. I personal hope that changes, but at the moment that is the way it is.


Ben, I share your fears. MP3 definitely is not doing as well as I hoped it would. However, what is quite annoying is that most developers making such statements are not even trying. They just assume and dont give the Wii rowd a chance to disprove them. 

If I could get my hands on a new MGS, Silent Hill or Final Fantasy, I would be a very happy Wii gamer.
