They either snob the Wii and its graphics, or simply don't care about an on-rails spin-off.'. I didn't say all of them. Still, why would your average Dead Space gamer own a Wii? More to the point, why put a Dead Space game on the Wii in the first place? |
Now, with that I can agree. Wii owners have been screaming for a third person RE game for 3 years and we end up having another on-rails shooter from a completely unknown to the system IP. Even if DS:E were third person, it'd still have trouble cracking 500k.
It's just that EA tried to capture a portion of the core gamers on the Wii while also appealing to the casuals. Of course, the casuals could never get into DS even on the HD systems. The core were put off by the on-rails transition and the "test" crap. Hardcores could care less about a Wii third party game with less than HD graphics and presentation. This game was sent out to die, simple as that.
