It's pretty funny that the developer says crap doesn't sell on Wii anymore, and they're moving on to the HD consoles. This means:

1) On Wii, you can only make shovelware
2) On HD consoles, shovelware will be more succesful than on Wii
3) The developer can only make shovelware

Basically, this particular developer will be bankrupt within 2 years.

Yeah, it's really the line of thinking being widespread that's the problem more than one studio.

So let me get this straight:

You flood the market with casual games, in the meantime not making any of the hardcore ones you claim don't sell.

Then, after you destroy the market you constantly reused and recycled over and over again, you go to work somewhere else, effectively leaving the console you were "supporting" worse than it started off. Pretty much passive aggressive destruction.

.................
I'm just dumbfounded by this.

I was agreeing with him on what was wrong with this current market, but then my straight lips turned downward at the line where he said they are leaving the console. That's like throwing paint all over your handicapped grandmas kitchen, and then leaving her to clean it. You leave a big mess, then turn your back.

This is the nail in that "Wii hardcore sales coffin". The evidence has shown that these companies that are leaving the Wii have officially destroyed the majority of the casual market on that console, proving that they did not make enough games that were {hard/core} to strike balance.

Can't say I didn't see this coming though, I called it a few months back:

 Yeah, so did Maelstrom. Really, I am honestly running out of other reasons developers are doing this than deliberate sabotage. There still might be other reasons, but it's looking more likely it's they are trying to make the Wii fail.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
