Why third party core games fail(ed) on the Wii

[oniyide]

@Mr. Khan why the audience shrank by half??? thats a very good ? and I wish I had the answer, the only thing I can think of is that some of those gamers simply moved on to another system IMHO and just kinda stopped messing with Wii. look at Red Steel the original was terrible and more than a million people still played it. #2 was rated way better but it didnt even come close to those sales of original. You can blame motion but it wasnt that much more expensive you can blame lack of multi, but I dont believe we devolved as gamers into a state where we will play a game we know sucks but has a multiplayer mode.  Halo is still a core game, you cant be trying to tell me that if it had no TV ads it still wouldnt have sold millions???? I dont buy it, maybe if it was a new IP but that reasoning dont fly for established franchises. Hell Bioshock & Tekken 6 both sold more than a mil with little advertisment, not saying ads aint important but to the core gamer living in the internet age. Its not that serious
