Only two Metroid games in history have sold over 2 million. Even Super Metroid didn't, it's a fairly niche series. And Twilight Princess Wii is the 3rd best selling Zelda in history. I'm not so sure either of these cases are great examples for Wii's inability to sell M/T games, when they're doing well above average for their respective franchises? Unlike say, GTA4 PS3. ;) Also, I wasn't listing "some of the best selling T and M games on Wii", I was listing "Mature audience games" on Wii in Japan that sold in the territory of Persona titles. Y'know, to show that sort of sales potential is well within range for Wii's 10m+ base. And finally, what's with comparing Yakuza 3 to Muramasa? One's a big budget, hugely advertised AAA series from the 4th largest Japanese games company that sold nearly a million on PS2. The other's a 2D sidescroller, from a tiny developer and niche publisher, who's spiritual predecessor on PS2 sold around 100k. You're pretty laughably off the mark if you series think either series is at all comparable to each other, or a good indicator for Persona... |
The reason GTA4 didn't sell as well as past GTA's was because it was on both 360 and PS3. If it had been only on PS3 it would have sold comparably to past GTA games because if you add up the total for 360 and PS3 it is close to past GTA sales. How many T and M rated games have sold over 250,000 copies on Wii in Japan and how many T and M rated games have sold over 250,000 copies on PS3 in Japan?
