HS had huge advertising, it had half a dozen spots on every NFL game for 2 weeks. I haven't seen a single advert for Z&W, much less a high profile ad like that. The only advertising so far has been from word of mouth.

I understand it but that is only nintendo's fault, they should have advertised it then.

If you want to say that sales are indicative of a flop right now, go ahead. But I don't think I ever called HS a flop.

I am not talking about you SQL, I was talking in general.

When the HS sales were there a lot of people were calling it a failure and were laughing with it

Now it is the same situation but with a Wii game and of course some Sony fanatics wants revenge.

What did you thought? That they should shut up about it?

I know this would happen.

 

 Alright bro.

 

Here's some factors to take into consideration

 

-How big of a budget the game required to produce.

-How much money was invested in advertising.

 

Why is this fans vs fans, and attackign and revenge etc.

 

Just becasue someone criticizes a high profile, large budget game that had a lot of advertising on prime time tv, it doesn't mean that they are a "nintendo fan" or "anti sony person" or anything.  It just means that a person finds it ironic that a game that has so much money thrown at it still fails.  It has nothing to do with allegiance to a company or anything.

 

Here we have a game with a graphical style that is largely criticized, a gameplay genre that's been dead for over 10 years, a "kiddy" game that doesn't appeal to "hardcore TRU GAMERZ," characters that they made no attempt to localize, and little to no adverstising, and it still pulls in decent sales numbers.  It's ironic that, against all of these odds, the game even sold at all.

 

Do you see the difference, because there is quite a glaring one.
