| LordTheNightKnight said: 4. You actually think putting a third of the big games on the Wii ISN'T a suggestion for that? Oh, yeah, costing just over 1/2 instead of 1/4 magically stops the games from being profitable. This is just the same logic twisting as those companies use to aoivd the Wii. You're just as delusional as they are when presented with the simple facts (1/2 HD > /1/4 HD , but ignoring that 1 HD > 1/2 HD). |
That's exactly right. I'm "just as delusional" as the 3rd parties are, when I can see that spending 1/2 as much, on development only, on 2 Wii titles is not going to make me as much money as spending the whole sum on one HD title -- just from analysis of the successful "hardcore", targetted demographic titles on the Wii thusfar. I'm "just as delusional" in thinking that the blue ocean is, by nature, a large compilation of demographic sets which only overlap, to make a significant sum, in a couple genres, like "casual" and "party".
If Wii CoD or Wii Madden performed half as well as the HD (and combining the numbers for both HD SKUs IS valid, since the dev costs are usually shared), then a Wii game, in the same genres, which cost half as much would be a worthy title to make. As is, the demographics are too scattered to make for a serious audience for those games on the Wii -- just like the publishers have always stated. So delusional. And supported by VGChartz numbers, too. A strange coincidence?
