| Viper1 said: Those were sales projections by the major firms that publishers pay for. Publishers pay to have the analysis done and hen base their next sever fiscal years budgets and resources on the information provided. Tell me, if you were publisher X and 10 diferent firms presented you with highly detailed analysis on those 3 consoles, would you have made long term plans to put up big budgets and heavy resources for that Wii console? I doubt it. So when Wii proved all the analysts wrong, publishers had to scramble to scrounge up funding and resources and get anything they could out the door as fast as they could. And you see the mess they made today. |
While the predictions were wrong, the Wii dominated the market very quickly. There was plenty of time to put out quality Wii games. The problem is many of the quality games did poor, while many other titles became unexpected hits. Even the mega popular CoD has modest sales on the Wii. For some reason the Wii audience just loves casual, party, and family games. Why wouldn't they? Those are the genres Nintnedo used to attract them in the first place.
The Wii has a massive audience yet they keep buying the same crap. At some point you gotta stop pointing the finger at developers. The Wii audience have spoken time and time again with sales. They've gotten what they want.
