Sales - Is 2D the new 3D? - View Post

2D is just a lot cheaper to make. It means less risk and a potential bigger profit margin. Obviously Mario will win and sell the most by far. Little big planet will probably get the best or second best reviews behind Mario but Sonic will probably sell more. The other game will probably not sell that great. But then again it's a cheap side scroller so it doesnt have to sell great to make money. If there is anymore influx of 2D side scrolling games the market will soon be over saturated and they will all fail in sales except for ones like Mario and maybe Sonic/LBP.

So in short no 2D will not overtake 3D games and they only have a place in the cheap end of gaming besides maybe a few big names like Mario or Sonic.
