Can people please stop with this garbage for once? Always trying to find an explanation that portrays any situation as if people in the industry knew what they are doing. They can be wrong and Reggie is wrong. There is no such thing as bringing these three games to America would not be financially viable. Nintendo isn't a company that is on the brink of bankruptcy, all the translation work will already be done by Nintendo of Europe and much smaller companies than Nintendo manage to make profits by selling 250k copies (or less) in America after covering translation and distribution costs. There is nothing to lose for Nintendo of America by releasing all three games individually for $50 each. They can only gain. Not taking such an opportunity is a sign of complete stupidity. There is nothing to understand about Reggie's relunctance to bring these games over, because there's no sound logic behind it. |
If Xenoblade hasn't even sold 100k in PAL regions what makes you think it'll sell at least 250K in NA? NA sales would probably be about the same, maybe a little higher but not 2.5x's the amount. TLS sales would be worse because WiiU would be around the corner by then and forget Pandora's Tower's sales altogether because if critically acclaimed JRPGs can't manage it, there's no way a good-not great action game will. There's little if any money to be made here with these games. And NoA doesn't seem to want to alter their 'fun/accessible for all games' image for Wii.
