| loves2splooge said: I noticed that the Wii quietly added a whole bunch of rpgs to it's ranks lately. They seem to all be selling quite low though. I'm pretty sure there is a "core" market on the Wii for these games so why aren't these games selling as well as the hd and handheld jrpgs? These Wii rpgs are probably gonna be super rare and expensive one day. |
Third parties haven't put their major RPGs on a Nintendo system for over three generations. They skipped over the N64 and only a handful were put on the GameCube. And now when this gen came out, for over three years, they skipped both the Wii and PS3 and put their major RPG releases on the 360 and handhelds. Consumers aren't just gonna go running out and buying RPGs on the Wii now after 12+ years of hardly any RPGs on a Nintendo platform and still anticipating everything on a 'HD' platform. Its going to take time, advertising and a few high quality games to turn peoples thinking around to the idea that Wii (and Nintendo consoles) can actually have good RPGs. And as of yet, the Wii has yet to have that 'killer app' RPG title.
