@conegamer  i know, right!! i mean, im shocked that such a poorly received game like Red Steel is given a free pass just because of some meh multi. IMHO thats the crap id expect to hear from the HD crowd(especially the Xboxers) "oh the campaign is only four hours long the story doesnt make sense, but thats ok I plucked down 60 bucks just to play multi, who cares about the single player???" ive actually had fools tell me this before. ugh. I would never expect this feeling from Wii owners as well, im a little flabergasted. This FPSgenre cannot go away fast enough, after Bioshock Infinite, im done. RPGs on consoles are not in a good place no matter what you have, i think they'll be primarily on the portables for the forseeable future, except for WRPGS which have taken off. platformers, could come back I can see that.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees this way. Let a new genre take over from here!

I agree that BO and Goldeneye wasn't the worst thing to do, but there's no denying it would have hurt sales in some respect...

 

@Pacman- I know it was a joke. But it'd still be a good idea. Let's not forget about all the HD flops though: Nier, Bionic Commando, Dark Void, Lost Planet 2 to name a few

I am so tempted to dive into bash party...hell and rage would be fired upon me though.

True, HD has sales bombs aswell.  I'm almost hesitant to pass judgement on the success of many of those games b/c of the lack of PC sale knowledge.  I'd doubt any non valve game would sell better on the PC than PS360, but you never know.  Also, multi-platform means the same general design is applied to the same game across multiple consoles. That'll surely bring down the development cost while selling the game to more consumers.  Wii exclusives like Madworld, Red Steel 2, etc are one trick ponies (aside from porting).
