You can single out a bunch of failures on HD consoles (which the PSP isn't...), but that won't change the big-picture fact that the HD model, and their HD investments are making them more money than their Wii model and Wii investments. All the third parties are doing is stating that they are changing their Wii model (more titles, lesser money) to be more like the HD model (less titles, bigger money), or in some cases, that they are just dropping the Wii model, because they don't know how to target the Wii demographics, or if they even can be targetted beyond a few select genres. This actually seems to be exactly what "forum Wii" owners have always wanted. I'm surprised that people are even complaining. |
Are you serious? The HD model has been the wrong model since the beginning. Thats reason why their is no exclusive games anymore. They need to sell their games on as many platforms as possible to make any gains. That's why they always use total combine sales. Between both systems for their games sales total.
You noticed that the only talk about games that have sold multi million on both. Combine those sales and you have games that sold 6 to 10 million. Yes those companies are making money on their HD model. How many others are not many those kinds of sales. Yet they keep playing the same role and losing more trying. The same people that make money on the HD systems are making money on Wii. Capcom talks about Zack and Wiki and other Wii games. Yet they never mention Bonic Commando which flopped on both systems. Being a HD game we know it cost more to make then little old Zack and Wiki.
The point is for most people in this thread. Wii are tired of hearing about the failures of all the others. When they are losing just as much or more on those systems.
We hear all the time how Sega don't want to make Mature games on the Wii. Yet the have made the most money overall on the Wii. We never hear about the HD failures. How well has those Sonic games done on PS3?
The PSP in the US is a failure. That way there are no games coming over here. Only high profile seguels. Over in Japan the PSP does well enough to keep getting new fresh content. After saying all of that. With no chance to sale games in areas other then Japan. The huge piracy in the US and Japan. Companies are still willing to through money after. With the hope that the might make something. Again something they are not doing on the Wii.
Once again Wii owners are not getting a fair shake. Which is what we all are asking for.
