^^^ your asking why people bought GE over BS. whether Wii owners had a choice is irrelevant(1), you wanted to know why the chose GE OVER BS, not why they bought GE in the first place. thats why i stated maybe some of those Wii owners who didnt have a HD system bought GE. there really is no choice in that case(2). not like they could have bought BS in any case, well they could have but that would be stupid.

Yeah because the Wii gets so many FPSs its ridiculous. the competition is really stiff there, thats crap.(3) oh sure COD came out, but what about before that??? how much FPSs come out for Wii a year??  Not disputing if GE was weak if would not have sold, i know i would not have bought it. Blood Stone wasnt that hot to begin with, there were better marketed games and better games in general that came out around it on HDs. Assassin's Creed, GT5, COD, Castlevania, NFS, there were alot of options around that time and the game got no advertisment, at all(4). which is funny how you like to throw that argument around, how come its not relevant to BS???

Ge would not stand above many FPSs on the HD, the campaign is just ok, their are much smoother online games on the HDs and the fact that the game supports no kind of voice chat, pretty much negates it from being top-tier on the HDs, and if you think that having voice chat in a FPS is not important, go to a friend's house with 360 and COD and see for yourself. I love the game but had this been on PS3 i would have been way harsher

1. Then why even bring it up? Seriously, if it's not relevant, it's not a good idea to mention it in the context of reasons, unless you want people to confuse it for listing a reason.

2. Then you really shouldn't have brought that up, as the chosing one over the other precludes those who couldn't make the choice, and adding that just muddled your point.

3. I explicitly wrote about the so-called "core" games, meaning no genre qualifier, but you counter with "FPS" specifically. That misses the point about what I wrote.

Since some people don't look for just one genre, even if they don't like all genres, then a dearth of options for one genre doesn't mean that they will rule out any other genre if the choices from them are good choices. Thus it doesn't matter if they aren't that many FPS on the Wii. All genres count as options.

4. No advertizement? Do you even look at youtube? All those games you mentioned have videos of TV ads for them (just search for "(game name) tv spot".

And you brought up those non-FPS games as competition to Blood Stone, which I did not deny, but you specifically mentioned Goldeneye only in the context of FPS games as competition. That is a false argument, as it's a double standard.
