People bought bioshock for multiplayer? pfahahahahahahaha.

Thanks for commenting to one specific detail in my post. Maybe I should have worded it differently for you but one of the complaints about Red Steel 2, which has already be mentioned in the thread is that it lacked a multiplayer. I do not know why people bought Bioshock? I know I would not h ave. That's me and my decision.

Bioshock has an outstanding campaign for the FPS genre, that's why it sold and that's also why other FPS without multiplayer modes sold in the past. So what Red Steel 2 needed in order to sell was to be outstanding. Did it meet this requirement?

To quote FlyingLotus: "pfahahahahahahaha."

Goldeneye, Call of Duty, and Doom are three outstanding single player FPS that come to mind. Having great multiplayer is also a bonus.

BTW, this isn't just a case of diminishing returns, and that's not a Wii only thing, that some posts here implied. Look at Crackdown 2, Resistance 2, and all the music games. Also, some Wii sequels have also sold well, like the CoD games and Mario Galaxy 2.
