Dead Space Extraction is a MAJOR flop - we need to talk about it

I really don't understand third parties to be honest. Why must they all be followers? Carnival Games and Mario Party see success and all of a sudden there are a million party games. RE Chronicles and House of the Dead and all of a sudden everyone wants to make a rails shooter. Wii Fit was an astonishing success and now there are a billion fitness games. Truth is that in life the first to come up with original idea is likely to have the biggest success even if your product is better because people are unlikely to buy two of the same and if they already bought the originators product then they are much less likely to buy yours.

But the more intersting question is not why they have to be followers but why can they only be followers when it comes to the easy option? Mario Galaxy was a great success. Where is the massive 3rd party platforming game ripping off Mario Galaxy? Resident Evil 4 Wii was a huge success. Why has Capcom chosen to only release on rail games now when no onrails game has sold as well as RE4 Wii which is a game already on two other platforms? Simple answer is most 3rd Parties don't seem to have any talent to make a quality game unless they are able to use amazing HD graphics to hide the gameplay flaws. So with Wii they take the easy option of just making party games instead of a platform or other massive game or a rail shooter instead of a third person game.
