You're getting desesperate there :) Activision is going to be the top third party publisher this year, not anyone else... You guys went on a public campaign to slander them and IW because you disliked what they did, and the results are in, over 14 million of us voted with our wallet and you lost... I asked you to name one third party that is reaping benefits from the Wii and you haven't answer, a sure proof you're just fishing...( you need a lot of titles selling 500k-1 million units to generate the same revenue/profit that MW2 on the HD consoles will.) Thing is the PC release is lucky it's considered almost free in term of costs by most developers because the high level of piracy could make the case that releasing games on the PC is hurting sales on other platforms... ( because some ppls with PC and consoles are just going to pirate it on the PC and might have purchased it otherwise on consoles if there was no PC release). |
Your answer is on the front page of this website. Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (it's on DS though) even outsold the PS3 version of MW2.
I also wonder how much making that game cost. Probably even less than porting the code to the PITA PS3 architecture. The end result is that while you may not have million sellers like MW2, you also don't need to sell a million compies since they didn't take 200 million to make.
Look at Just Dance, I woner how much money and time it tok to churn that out, and it has sold half a mil in the holiday week. Those devs can probably just keep churning out those games at far less time and far lower costs and make more money than any HD games.
Also Activision numbers also include WoW. Consider the fact that one of the software devs of Blizzard now co-owns a football team, so that must be a pretty huge chunk of profit for them. Also it's on PC only.
You also have failed repeatedly to answer to me how Valve's games and Blizzard's games consistently sell millions on the PC, and don't even make it to the top of the piracy lists. They also seem t be pretty wealthy.
