| oniyide said: @cobretti what are you talking about??? Ninty is making more games this gen than the did the previous 2. Thats a fact. So its definetly not Ninty trying to do anyone "favors" quality control, not buying that either, well not entirely the fact is that it was just easier and cheaper to make games on the PS1 than N64 ask Square CDs>Cartridges. What Ubisoft does is kinda messed up, but if they need to make crap to sell to the masses to fund better products, go for it. Do what you gotta do. Is it messed up that they dont put that effort into Wii??? sure, but what would you have them do. Whatever core game they make is probably not going to end up selling that well anyway, ask Sega unless they have Sonic in it, no one cares. If your a Wii only gamer then Im sorry dont know what you can really do. I for one love rail shooters, that is one of the reasons I bought Wii, hell I wish they had more,, oh well theres always Move |
Yes they are making more games. But if you look at the last their game releases were more frequent and half of them were not aimed at the casual market.
This gen they thought the Wii would be like the DS and thought 3rd parties would jump onto the bandwagon and produce AAA titles. So they left gaps open for those releases so 3rd parties wouldn't bitch competing against a Nintendo game like they have the in the past.
In regards to the N64 that is some of the lame excuses 3rd parties said. Not all but some. I just repeated their words.
You are right that a core game is going to sell poorly on Wii. That is because it is 3rd parties own fault. They released garbage for so long no one trusts them. So 4 year now into the Wii the small core crowd that exists on the Wii will probably get an excellent game to 1.5 million tops sold. The reason I say this is because of all the crap that was coming out, I myself this gen what I have never done before got all three consoles, so anything core that comes out on all three I will get on PS3 or 360. If they took the Wii serious and did not try killing it as they bet on the wrong horse at the start (the ps3) and put in effort at the start they would not be in the same situation.
One example COD. Activision are getting better at it but in the past it be missing features and be released late. Did they really expect COD to sell well on Wii? Going forward a lot of people with multi consoles will get it on one of the other platforms. I know I am. especially when you see awesome limited edition versions on the HD twins and a boring old one for Wii. So if Activision tried in the first place with COD on the Wii without cutting stuff, I think it could self much better then it does atm. I know for one that COD:WaW had some great controls on the Wii version. But it just lacked the features the HD version had. However I still got both lol.
To your onrails shooter comment, yes they are fun, but you do not go turning every game into an onrails experience esepcially when you know the game can be so much better. Good example RE4. Some of the best Wii controls and it has sold great for a 4th port.
On the other hand house of the dead series is a perfect example of what an excellent cheesy onrails shooter should be like.
Finally I do not know what the situation is were you are, but if you go to a Wii section all you see if 20 copies of each garbage game (stuff like cooking mamma and just dance) and maybe 2 copies of a core game. I myself couldn't find COD Reflex. I had to go and buy it online. Other core games like NMH2 only had like 2 copies on the shelf hidden behind garbage games. Then when you go to the 360 section you see about 50 copies of Halo, PS3 section about 50 copies of final fantasy. This in itself is a doom for failure. I do not know if it is the retailers fault for not wanting to stock these games or it is the distributors not supplying enough copies because they already think the game will bomb.
