| dabaus513 said: Seeing as how most 3rd party games havent done so hot (No more heroes, The SE chocobo game, elbits, zak and wiki), the fact that mario galaxy in japan has yet to sell 1 million copies, Im somewhat convinced that the developers will still create games for the wii but i doubt we'll see alot more "hardcore" games. I think developers may be somewhat confused on exactly what the wii fanbase wants and are probaly intimitiated by nintendos 1st party success. I think most developers will keep the "hardcore" games on the ps3/360 and will have a team within their gaming division that makes casual games. Just a theory please dont flame me. |
What you should realise is that developers won´t have a choice but to make hardcore games for Wii. These companies´business is making games.
The last gen they could afford to leave Gamecube because it only represented a small part of the market. Wii is speeding towards 50% marketshare. These developers simply can´t afford to ignore such a large part of the market.
I still don´t believe that the majority of Wii owners are people who never before played any game. I believe that the demographic of Wii consist mostly of 1. Harcore Nintendo fans, 2. Hardcore gamers (real hardcore gamers that have all consoles) 3. people who left Nintendo after the SNES-N64 are returning to their old brand.
Sure there are people that like Carnival Games, but those games are still outsold by Zelda, SMG, RE4 etc. which proves the userbase likes more mature games. The thing is that the traditional Nintendo fan is spoiled with the incredible quality of Nintendo games.
Conclusion is that 3rd parties should make better games.
