1.5 across both platforms isn't exactly steller. And it didn't meet EA's expectations, that's what people are basing that off of. But the BIGGEST question is why people who have no interest in Wii care so much about 3rd party game sales on that console. Not to mention that the term "good game" is subjective. But I think Eric Alston's answered you question in the OP: remember everybody, nobody cares what you think various games "deserve" to sell! People buy games based on their tastes, not yours. So if you want to go "OH BOO HOO CARNIVAL GAMES OUTSOLD DEADLY CREATURES," you can find plenty of hardcore sob fest threads on other websites! |
Ok so lets base it on your "tastes" with the exception of Metroid Prime...the combined sales of every single Wii game mentioned in your sig totals less than 900,000 sales. Thats over half a million less than a game the OP called a failure....and that doesnt bother you? The issue isnt that carnival games outsold deadly creatures its that there has not been a single 3rd party game that would be concidered a "hardcore" or traditional game that has been successful. For what its worth I do own a Wii and happen to be one of the 14,000 that bothered with Valhalla Knights and one of the 52,000 that bothered with Cursed Mountain. It really doesnt concern you that games like Pimp My Ride and Bullet Witch outsell things like Klonoa? I would like to see 3rd parties continue to support the console but im starting to think its pointless since going to the wii is almost like ensuring that the developer will loose money.
