^Companies can take on debt to finance operations |
that too, but what are those big AAA games that arent making a profit for their company?
|
Well I don't have the financials on each game, but considering the number of companies posting losses, EA, Ubisoft, THQ, Sony, Capcom, probably quite a few of them are losing money on their big budget titles
|
No, the problem is not big budget titles, but the smaller ones. While The Wii can get away with small games making a profit, It's very hard on the HD systems because they don't sell enough to make that profit. You see TAKE2 banked on just one game to save a whole company, GTA alone made tons of money, but the other games couldnt. So, you see most companies trying big AAA for the HD and the smaller ones for the Wii.
|
But that lacks logic then, since its actually cheaper to make big games on the Wii than on the HD systems, so the idea that making a few profitable games to cover the losses on the majority, would actually be more feasible on the Wii than the HD systems, so if that were true, then in fact we would expect to see more AAA attempts on Wii.
|
You think MW2 on the Wii would have been a bigger money maker than on the HD system?
|
Across all three systems combined maybe not, across any of the individual ones probably, since the costs to make MW2 on Wii probably would have probably been a fraction of the costs needed to make it HD.
|
so it wouldnt be big budget then?
Stop asking for big budget games when you guys keep raving how cheap your games are to make. Companies like to brag about graphics, big bugget, HD trailers just like the movies.
