Try looking it up yourself. As it has been stated by Iwata himself, something like 34 of the top 50 best selling titles on the Wii, all million sellers, are from third party publishers. And Monster Hunter 3 isn't even near there yet. |
Oh, sorry. I thought I said I was talking about GOOD games which also were received well by the critics, not titles like Carnival Games, LEGO-games, Game Party, Sonic and the secret rings, My fitness Coach, High School musical: Sing it, MySims, Cooking Mama, We Ski, etc etc. If you take a look at the list you provided, how many decent games are there? Should developers be forced to make these kinds of games just so they can sell games on the Wii??? The thing is Zack and Wiki was received well by critics and is a good game, still it gets massively outsold by High School Musical and shit like that. IMO there are maybe 5 3rd party games of the 50 first games that I would ever play, but NEVER buy. But if you feel that Carnival games and High School Musical are the games wii developers should make, then it's fine by me. the thing is, aside from Nintendo games, the 3rd party games on that list is mostly shitty games for kids and housewifes. And of course you have COD, Guitar hero, etc, but these games are not for Wii only and they sell (even more) on ANY OTHER platform as well. Games for GAMERS gets lost on the wii... If I was a developer, I would never lower myself to develop titles like MySims or Carnival games if I wanted to make something like Madworld or No More Heroes just so my games would sell...
I'm talking about GOOD, SERIOUS games for gamers here! Really, to think I was to be provided with a list of shovelware... Sorry, but I can't agree with 3rd party success on the Wii when these are the games that sell...
