| Incondite said: True MK wii does sell well, along with anything with mario on the cover, but try being a 3rd party releasing a new ip. Its very difficult to introduce a new game into the wii market and have it be an overall good game and still be competitively prices with the shovel-ware. If you aren't known to the market already and release a game at $50, you'll lose out on the wii. Its difficult being a new IP to begins with, much less dealing with the overwhelming competition. |
You think it's any easier with the HD systems? Have you not noticed how few of the new IPs take off on those systems? They need loads of marketing, often costing more than the game makes (Dead Space and Mirror's Edge being two that come to mind). There are the occiasional hits, but same with the Wii.
The idea that this is a Wii exclusive problem is just an illusion. It's just the gaming press likes to tout the few successes to overshadow the flops.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
