Considering how well those sell I doubt it.

I really don't understand why people are so against those type of games.  If you don't like them, don't buy them.

how well? only 10 percent out of them sell, the rest bombs miserably. Nobody buys it ,and they cant sell it. Silent Hill is a decent real game, and its outselling half of shovelware titles released along the same time, and those titles take too much shelve space that the store cant sell.Modern warfare reflex sold already near 700k while minigame collection cant reach 0.3.

What do you think is a bomb for those games?

Those games don't have to sell much at all to turn a profit since they're made so cheaply.

And I know that sounds bad, but it isn't.  These games aren't targeted towards you the hardcore gamer or even the run-of-the-mill casual gamer, they're targeted towards the 6 year old with the short attention span.

You can buy the normal 6 year old kid Super Mario Galaxy or any other $50 Wii game and they will love it for approximately two weeks before they move onto something else or you can buy the shitty $10 game that the kill will love just as much for approximately two weeks.

This is great for parents because it saves them money, that is why those games you're so excited to see go are important.  These games aren't for you, so again, I don't see why people hate on them so much.  These games are for parents who don't want to spend $50 on a toy.

I think the point is the shelf real estate. Most of these games could be in the bargin bin and sell just as much, be just as profitable for the developer and the store, and leave shelf space open for more profitable faster moving items. I'm actually surprised they didn't do this like two years ago. Both the gamestop and best buy near where I live constantly have had problems moving these items. Especially given the practices some these developers have (dump a bunch of games onto the retailers and move on).

Hell half these games should be wiiware/dsiware games.
