| Boneitis said: @ jarrod Wow, that's bomb. Well that's still no indication of how other niche games would do on HD consoles. Clearly there is little demand for that one. Monster Hunter is mega popular franchise in Japan. It no secret from looking at the PSP sales. But Monster Hunter doing well doesn't mean other big budget games will do well. For example, the terrible first week of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers. |
Atleier Rorona did okay, Disgaea 3 did okay but undershot expectations. On Wii the Biohazard shooters have done really well, as has DQ Swords or Taiko. My point is I think it's less some inherent capability of the platforms themselves to "sell games" and more dependent on the context of each release itself. I think both FFCC and 3DGH both wouldn't bombed just as hard had they reversed platforms. I think there's room for niche success on Wii and PS3, and there's clear evidence that big budget games can do well on both also.
