Exactly. A Nintendo fan___'s excuse is almost always "it wasn't good anyway." Sub-par (hardcore) games sell better on the Xbox360 and PS3 because their fans don't have such elitist attitudes. Haze sold twice what The Conduit did, despite being reviewed roughly half as well on a system with little more than half the sales of the Wii. In a way, Haze "performed" four times better than The Conduit--but then, there's actually a market for FPS titles on the PS3. |
People wouldn't call the game crap if they thought it was good (for various reasons, it isn't worth it). Instead, they'd just come up with a different excuse, or more likely, wouldn't post at all. It's mainly those who dislike the game that end up posting, so you end up with a distorted view on what Nintendo fans think. (MadWorld is the worst game I've bought this gen, btw)
Also, why are you championing Haze's sales? Crappy games selling better is not a good thing, as it'll only lead to more crap. I'm glad mediocre stuff flops on the Wii. And it isn't as if great games on the HD consoles never flop - see games listed previously in the thread. Looking at Clover's past games' performances, it's clear the problem isn't the platform.
I do agree on your bit about length. However, people wouldn't always complain about it if games nowadays had some good re-playability, but they don't (unless the game itself has old-school values).
