Oniyide said: Well the AC 1 numbers are right there, the game sold that much prior to the HD boom, it was a new IP and it wasnt even that GOOD and it still did gangbusters. YOu think that an AC game for WIi could reach 4-5 mil?? No, hell no. COD is a MUCH more popular franchise. and the COD games cant even crack the 2 million mark on WIi despite the bigger install base. Keep in mind that the COD games on WIi are 90 percent identical to the HD version. An AC game wouldnt be so lucky since those are much more demanding on the PS360 hardware than any of the COD games. Best case scenerio you'll get a AC Bloodlines scenario. A simple ok game that could push about 1.5 mil lifetime maybe and hell IMHO I dont even think it would do that much. Hell MOH Heroes 2 sold better on PSP than on WIi by alot, a freaking portable FPS sold better than its CONSOLE version, by a lot. DOnt know how that happened |
Well I actually checked the numbers, and AC (1) sold roughly 75+% of its total sales within 60 weeks, so prior to HD boom. That's roughly 7.3+M total, in line with Just Dance Wii, and clearly above potential AC Wii sales.
As for AC not selling 5M on Wii and comparing it to a port of an HD game, now you're completely disregarding what we had talked about earlier, a game with SD visuals that compensates for graphical disparity with other more important features like story and art direction (so long as graphics aren't broken). With that in mind, I don't see why a top-tier exclusive couldn't reach 5M, and even grow towards 8M as consumers realize the Wii is the goto platform for all your gaming needs, at a highly reduced development cost.
As for Medal of Honor, I have no idea how to explain that one.
