| H.jayderyu said: Because the game is polished as hell for as many people as possible. Nintendo designs it's game to last a generation. Other developers make there games to last 1-2 years. So they don't polish them anywhere near as long. Blizzard does the same thing. It masters a game mechanic to be easy to learn, but deep and complex so that mastery takes for ever. That theres always some new corner of skill to overcome. When other companies manage this. It's by luck, not intention. So the polished games sell for very long periods of time. |
Hence why its not uncommon to still see Starcraft, Warcraft 3 and wow in the NPD pc lists, even after all these years.
