Secondly, Silent Hill: The Home Coming for the Xbox 360 and PS3 did not light up the charts either. Matter of fact, Silent hill has never been a big IP. This is a sales site so check the sales. Question: Why is everyone so ready to call a third party game on the Wii a bomb? I was on another site called Gonintendo that had the same article and the majority just called the games bombs even after being told the Sales of Silent Hill: The Home Coming and that Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles had only been on the market for four days. It's like people want the Myth to be true that 3rd party games can not sell on the Wii that any evidence to disprove this is Ignored. |
Sadly, that's just the image Wii has for 3rd party game sales, despite examples of 3rd party success stories. What I find odd is that everyone overanalyzes every single Wii 3rd party game when it performs poorly in sales, but not a word from the countless HD 3rd party games that do poorly. Yeah there are more HD success stories but that's because there are by far more core 3rd party games on those platforms!
If Wii recieved anywhere near the amount the HD consoles recieve, and the amount of emphasis placed on the games, rest assured there would be a lot more success stories. It's just that the 3rd party games are few and far inbetween, so every flop games magnified, while the HD core flops are just never spoken of because there are enough success to hide that. Wii simply doesn't have the strentgh in numbers when it comes to quality 3rd party core games.
