| oniyide said: @lordtheknight thats very true,but in some Publishers defense, I can see how they would be discouraged by Wii seeing as they have twice the install base of a single HD console but the FPS on those HDs do about 5mil on each HD (COD) but a Wii FPS does about 1mil. Im not excusing some of the actions but I could see how some might think that not supporting Wii with that type of game is the way to go. |
The problem is them assuming that a) 5 million is the norm for FPS on those systems (only Call of Duty, Halo, and Gears (since TPS are very close to FPS) have sold that many on those systems), that b) 1 million is the cap for Wii customers of those games (although we've discussed already why it doesn't work that way), and that c) despite lower budgets the profit margin for a million is somehow worse on the Wii than one to two million on the other systems (the Medal of Honor reboot will likely outsell Goldeney in the long run, but will likely make less money in that time).
In short, I see those assumptions, but that doesn't make them right or sensible. It just looks like the excuses they are telling themselves.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
