Pyro as Bill said:
Outside of FPS, which non-arcade games have MS or Sony put their marketing might behind? Who's winning the console race? Who has released a 10M selling arcade game every year. Why doesn't Sony or MS make arcade games their Xmas blockbuster? |
Which NON-Arcade games? I can name lots. Lots of top quality Game of the Year Award winning titles. It's one of the reasons they have such great 3rd party support.
Nintendo are. And Nintendo do. Who did it last gen, or the gen before? Or more importantly... Who started this generation with a Motion Controller, a new audience and the cheapest pricepoint?
Because they don't need to. And the fans (IMO) don't want them to. 360 fans are happy with a Halo, Fable or Forza every year or 2. PS3 fans are happy with whatever Sony throws at them every year. And actually... This year. They are both coming out with MORE "arcade" titles than the Wii.
Now will you...
Explain why you include Brawl in your Wii list... Yet you can't have fighters on the HD list.
Explain why you have Wii Sports on your Wii list, yet we can't have fighters on our lists. Wii Sports has boxing.
Explain how Wii Fit is an arcade game.
Explain why we aren't allowed Downloadable arcade games on the HD consoles.
Explain why you're ignoring Football games on PS3/360.
Explain why you're ignoring Racing games on PS3/360.
Explain why SHMUP's aren't seeming to count.
