| Voltaire said: Its recently come to my attention that after 3 years of Wii and "tests" games, there still hasnt been a AAA title from a 3rd party released (MH3 might be it, but thats still some time away). So while there have been some very solid B titles like Madworld and Silent Hill, as well as some suprise hits like Zack and Wiki and Little King's Story (suprise, hence no/little/poor advertising), there have been no large calibur games. So when 3rd parties complain that their game didnt reach a great number on the sales chart, maybe its because that game didnt reach a great number on the Metacritic chart either. This is just a thought, and no research went into this thread. And yes, the quality=sales theory isnt quite that black and white on Wii (or any console for that matter), but a quality AAA game with a solid marketing campaign has yet to be even tried on Wii. |
As it was said by most and you confirmed in your post, the third parties didn't put forth much effort except for Monster Hunter 3 and those few games where they did show effort (Muramasa/Little King Story/Madworld) they didn't advertise the game. There's nothing to say further than that and its clear evidence that they haveno reason to complain when they didn't put forth the effort. Especially when they still are making tons of money on Wii games.
