Alright. I'm late to this party and I'm not going to read all the posts.
Matt's right that publishers seem scared, but I don't understand the rational for their fear. Can anyone point out one of these games which has done so poorly? Prime 3?which is well on it's way to significantly outselling prime 2?, manhunt? which sold only slightly less than it did on the ps2, you know, the system with the huge userbase that includes everyone who played manhunt 1? Red steel? the game that sold 1 million as a launch title despite it's horrid controls? No More heroes? the game that hasn't been released in the market's it's aiming at yet?
Or could it be that tgese publishers are basing their opinions off of games like Far Cry Vengeance, Prince of Persia two swords, Scarface and Godfather? Is this percieved lack of Wii "hardcore" gamers based on the sales of last gen ports with next gen prices?
Matt mentions the anomoly of Capcom's Resident Evil titles. But the only anomoly I see there is that those are high quaity games. And of course there's a market for high quality games on the world's fastest selling console.
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.
Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.
Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!
Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
