| italo244 said: Not because the game is bloody, it will sell well, that is, those five Wii games do not count for a PS3 or Xbox360. The Wii has almost no hardcore games, but when companies decide to do, some do not even sell 500mil units, others are, but do not reach 1 million., sad but true |
Most hardcore games that are well-made and can actually appeal to people (note: not all, but most) actually do sell pretty well on the Wii. All of the CoD games and RE-games have done pretty well for themselves. The reason MadWorld didn't sell all that well? It wasn't that good of a game. Sure, it's a good enough game to deserve better sales than it has now, but add to that that there was no real value to the game. It was like 6 hours long and went for full retail price. I liked the game fine, and I bought it at full price, but I can't condemn people for not buying it.
As for, for example, Dead Space: Extraction... I'm mainly a Wii consumer. I own a 360, but mainly I use Wii. I never played Dead Space. So why would I want a spinoff for it? Especially when there's a new Resident Evil railshooter coming out just a month later. I love Resident Evil. I have no opinion about Dead Space.
See, most of the titles that sell shit on Wii, it's easy to explain why they did. And it almost always boils down to the developer's not thinking ahead.
Look at actual quality games. No More Heroes may not light up the charts, but it was the best-sold game Suda 51 ever made, and that sure as hell counts for something. Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition may be a port from last-gen, but the game is amazing and the controls are superb. Monster Hunter Tri is an actual effort and it clearly shows - That game is beautiful.
See, effort will give you sales. Lazy cash-ins will not.
