When the largest market is not where you are, you are not really serving the customers needs as much as you think you are, especially when the flashiest games are not the bestsellers (Crysis versus Modern Warfare, for one). If you still insist on making those games when the results are constant, it's clear you are making them for you, not the customers. 2. That is not what I wrote. I wrote they would not have given the HD games to the Wii if the system had been HD. It's just an excuse, or else we would have had more than three converted HD games in all this time. |
1.Crysis vs Cod is a bad example first because COD is an established franchise Crysis was unknown and it was just for PC where piracy is an issue infact Crysis and MW2 sold pretty similar on PC both have 1-2 Millions on PC. And the difference is not that big the difference between crysis and MW2 is tiny compared to the difference to MW2 and Cod games on wii. Both are actually the same market.
The largest market is the HD market even without PC (software sales wise and hardware wise). The people want HD games outside of Nintendo games the sales between SD and HD market is not comparable.
2. Maybe they wouldnt give Hd games we cant know it. But the reason "or else we would have more than three converted HD games in all this time" is not a good argument because first those games sell bad on Wii Cod sells bad it sells ten times better on HD consoles. And the problem is if you want to port an HD game over to wii you have to make the game from the scratch. You have to begin completly and since the sales are not good enough most of the developers just dont want to invest the money.
Ok I want to sleep now its 5 in the morning here and I am tired... We can talk about it some other time.
