HD Market is flooded with FPS games yet they manage to keep selling fine.


This "Too many rail shooters" excuse does not cut it.

Maybe wii owners wants to be flooded with FPS games and not On-rails?

-Edit-

And I agree with Lolcislaw. FPS games are much more popular and appeal to more players. Bad comparison

 

Should have bought The COnduit then.  Even Haze managed 800k despite HD consoles flooded with more FPS games than Wii is with rail shooters.

Well the Conduit is not the only FPS's on the market, and it is not a great game anyway, its an all right shooter developed by small unknown studio, with a degree of support from Sega. It definately Underperformed, but so did many games on HD consoles (and Free Radical went bust after Haze)

Let's look at FPS's games developed by more acclaimed teams, with a brand name or decent marketing behind it. (something that sells on HD consoles)

Red Steel sold well, CoD:WaW sold decent, CoD 3 sold million, Modern Warfare will reach million (despite all CoD games being gimped ports) 

I see this same pattern as on HD consoles games with: budget, brandname and marketing sell well.  The ones that rely on word of mouth dont, or internet promotion don't.

I would love to see sales of Resident Evil (drop in other big franchise) based On Rails Shooter on 360 or PS3.
