One thing I have been asking but have yet to see an answer from anyone who complains about third party Wii game sales is ...

Is there any game that has been released for the Wii which would have sold so much better on the XBox 360 or PS3 to justify the greater development cost?

I could be wrong but I don't believe there are any games which meet this criteria which means that Third party publishers should be focusing their efforts to producing and marketing better games for the Wii.

umm cooking Mama....duh!!

 

Lets not bring logic into these threads now. Its better when people say third party games (or even games in general) don't sell on the Wii, that goes to you happy and the OP as well.

P.s And Resident evil, GH should not be included in that list they are anomalies, plus red steel and RRR were launch titles.

To quote my post...

"There is so much talk about Wii 3rd party sales, I am not trying to make a statement on whether it is worth it or not for Publishers and Developer have motivation to make Wii games. I am putting these numbers here to show what third party games have sold well in N.A.; many did not do as well as there 360 or PS2 counter parts. Depending on how much it cost to produce these games would shed more light on profitablity.

I will say that 3rd parties will continue to support Wii in one way or another. Hardcore gamers may or may not like what comes out, but these companies are more concerned with profit then whether anybodies happy."

 

Where am I illogical? To summarize: I stated that games will be made for wii, that it may or may not be ones we like. I can't tell you if any of these games are profitable because I don't know production costs.

Then I listed numbers.

My statement wasn't illogical. Numbers can't be illogical. So who is not using logic, or atleast not reading the thread?

What makes a game anamolous? That you prefer it on another console? That it doesn't fit normal characteristics of games that sell on Nintendo consoles. Well GHIII is casual so that is out the window, and RE series sold well on Gamecube so that is BS too.

 

Anyway, the thread was intended to spark debate on how past sales will effect future releases.

 Hmm, seems like you should have read his post more carefully before getting defensive.
