I am not going to praise the whole 6000 unit limit, but I will ask this, what are the rules for XBLA and PSN? Are there limits, and do you know them, does Wii Ware take a lower precentage of a sale once past the limit compared to others? 

 

As for why Nintendo hasn't done this or that, the past is the past and we all know they kind of blew chunks at online features previously, but relating this to the Wii U is what the topic claimed and we don't know exactly what the deal is yet, or do we?

I'm assuming that gog and steam do not have the same limits because the game is already available for those platforms, and the guy, who is obviously quite outspoken about this, did not call them out at all (the gog.com version only received 1044 ratings, and you dont even have to own the game to rate it, the steam version straight up has NO user ratings.) I know that most other digital distribution services on pc don't have this limit as they get very low traffic and there are tons of games that receive sub 6000 unit sales on them (direct2drive, gamersgate, greenmangaming etc). I assume xbla does not have the same restrictions as he said they are considering releasing mdk2 on xbla after they're done with Baldur's Gate, although that's of course not concrete. I don't think it happens on PSN because there are also many, many niche titles and 'minis' that recieve very little attention on there (games with less than 10 user ratings etc), although I don't have any solid evidence that it does not happen, and now I'm actually interested I have emailed a few services to clarify! Should be interesting!
