^No its the third parties, I bring as an example Rabbids go home, no advertising or marketing, and a lot of people don't even know its out yet.
Or Dead Space, instead of making a full fledged shooter, they make it on rails and then whine when people don't buy it |
Rabbids is an example that fits within the "low budget == no sales" category.
DS:E is the way it is, because looking that good, on the Wii, isn't possible without limiting the scope of what the player can do at any one time. A cruddy-looking open shooter wouldn't have done better, and honestly, the demographics (or lack thereof) are what really killed it.

Well that's the third parties fault for not advertising it, Ubisoft can afford the budget for advertising the game, the fact that they didn't put money aside for it, proves they are either stupid or they have the wrong mindset.
Then why did RE4 sell over a million, why did Metroid prime and two call of Duty's sell over a million? Off rail games can sell on Wii, and you can downgrade the graphics if you need to

I don't think RE:4 or MP3 would sell as many copies today as they did when they were released. RE:4 had very little competition, and frankly, many of the early adopters of the Wii *were* hardcore gamers, who wanted to experience what the Wii could give them, in terms of game experience. RE:4, RE:UC, and several other Wii launch/near-launch titles have seen success that has not been, and cannot be, repeated in this day and age, in my opinion. Look at the HD shooters of the time, and compare -- Perfect Dark, Resistance, some junk no one will ever remember... they just didn't look that good, really. Nowadays, the comparison is much more drastic.

I disagree, RE4 could still sell, because it wasn't about graphics but gameplay that made it so good, the game took all the good stuff that was of RE4 last gen, and gave it great Wii controls.
When RE5 came out, people were bashing it, and saying it should have been on Wii because they missed the Wii controls of RE4 Wii, clearly shows that people are more concerned about the gameplay than the graphics
