The reason why the "hardcore" didn't buy the 3rd party games was because of them having a better equivalent on another system they own, not because the game is on Wii, and also, you just pointed out yourself that the "hardcore" do buy Wiis. In other words, the reason why the "hardcore" don't buy the third party games is because of the bad 3rd party games available on the system. After pointing out it's all about the games and that the "hardcore" buys Nintendo systems, you went back to reducing your argument to the first post. Judging by what you said, we know that the "hardcore" owns Wiis and buys good games for it. The real question is, why the good 3rd party games don't appear on Wii? Maybe you have some thoughts about it? @Ail: Well there's RE4, Lego Star Wars, SW:FU, RE:UC, Lego Indiana Jones, Sonic And The Secret Rings, the RRR games, Mario & Sonic, Carnival Games as traditional 3rd party games that have had about as good or better success on Wii than CoD:WaW. |
I see what you're saying. Forget what I said in my first post because obviously some hardcore players did buy a wii, some didn't. What I'm saying is that even those that bought one don't use it often, and when they do, its to play 1st party games. They won't buy 3rd party because there are better games on their primary system.
Your question is why the good 3rd party games don't appear on wii. There are some good 3rd party games out there and they sell well. you just listed some at the bottom of your post. I'm talking about truly "hardcore" games in my definition. The hardcore gamers are all about graphics and if they have a choice between buying it for wii or their primary system, they will buy it for their hd system. This is in general, obviously not for every single gamer.
The developers are realizing this, and so will not bring those games to wii, even though they might sell reasonably well, but might not be worth it to them.
