Namco: Wii can't handle Tekken 6, PSP can.

What's funny is that Wii only owners bitch incessantly about not getting games like this, but when they do get anything besides Mario or a party game, they don't even go buy it.

I see this argument brought up like every other day. What games are you talking about deadt0m?

Every single non first party game that isn't a party game and doesn't involve a plastic guitar.  Go find me the million-sellers on Wii that are third party action/fighting etc. games.

Conduit:  220k.

Mad World: 280k.

Punch Out: 510k. (and that is first party)

I'm too lazy to keep looking, but the only truly successful fighting game on Wii is brawl.  Every single million seller on Wii is either first party, a party game, or a music game.

You are a funny guy. I think you have the need for HD games to sell at least 1 million to break even, carried over into Wii territory, which it does not require, at all.

 

Last time I checked, Sega regarded The Conduit as a success, even with its mere 215k sold. The game obviously isn't done selling yet either so don't claiming that people aren't buying it. When the sales dip below 3k worldwide, maybe what you say will finally hold merit.I'm not trying to insult you in anyway, but still. The Conduit is a new game which didn't do anything to push the bar forward. All it did was provide a basic FPS effort from an unproven team. Reviews didn't exactly take to kindly to it either.

 

Madworld? You should already know as the epitome of niche. The short length seriously undercut the sales numbers as well.  People were not willing to pay $50 for a 5 hour game.  Notice how sales have gone up for Madworld in the past two weeks now that the price has dropped. It isn't a trend, but it is a noticeable event. The sales were underwhelming for Sega, but once again, it isn't done selling yet.

Punch Out? The sequel to a 15-year old game? It obviously has sold enough to Satoru Iwata, since he said it was a success in his recent Iwata Asks interview. Since when is 500,000 a bad thing anyway? It has been selling consistently in America as well.

 

Your generalizing idea of Wii million sellers can be applied to the competition as well. Every single million seller on the 360 is a shooting game, a sports game, or a violent sequel.
