You can't invent rules to create "bad signs," people need to make up their minds. Everytime their point is proven wrong they come up with some new extremely detailed qualification. And poor Zack & Wiki is always getting tossed around as some example like it was some end-all-be-all game in the last 10 years.

"Nobody plays Wii games!! WII DOOMED!"

"Wii sold the most software over the holidays and has a highr attach rate than PS3."

"Well...nobody plays 3rd party games! They don't sell! WII DOOMED!"

"Here's a list of several successful 3rd prty titles in America alone."

"Well...none of them are new IPs! Thats a bad sign! WII DOOOOOOMED! Zack and Wiki! ZACK AND WIKIIIIIIIIII!!1111 WII DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!"

 


1) i apologize, besides red steel carnival games also got on there.

2) the ability for third parties to make new ips is a sign of a healthy ecosystem. if all new ips fail, than the market is stagnating. its not hard to understand that. if nothing new can enter a market, than it is a bad and unfair market. which in the end hurts the consumer.

OK, so tell me, how many new IPs third parties have introduced to the Wii-something new and original like oh say, Assasin's Creed for the PS3/360? I give props to Red Steel and perhaps Zak and Wiki, but we all knew that game was going to bomb in the first place considering there was a campaign to save it months before released. Healthy ecosystem, my ass.
