Game has a 68 on metacritic but it has sold over 2 million. Zack and Wiki has an 87. A very good score. Guess how many it has sold? 130,000 copies. The Wii is generally about name recognition and trendiness, of course with some exceptions like Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime, Brawl, Twilight Princess, and WarioWare which I can legitimately say are quality games. |
"The Wii is generally about name recognition and trendiness"
Is it any different with the other 2 consoles? When you see Uncharted ( a very high quality new IP ) struggling to reach 250k in America what do you make of that? It's the general trend nowadays in this industry, not a specific Wii "flaw".
