I have Wii collectig dust for years and im not getting WiiU simply because it will end up like this as well. Back then i bought Wii for Red Stell now we have ZombiU. Its all very simillar. Publishers know that and they wont invest in games like Crysis on WiiU. Hopefully sitiuation will be diffirent and we get the best of two worlds. |
If you honestly believe that Carnival Games's success was just a matter of luck, then you really don't understand the videogame industry.
If Carnival Games's success was due to it appealing to people too stupid to know the difference, then ALL games fitting that description would have a similar level of success.
And shock horror - a game that's not even remotely designed for the core gamer gets a relatively low score when rated by core gamers. Who could have foreseen that? By the way, fun fact - two review sites actually rated it over 80%. GameTrailers gave it a 7.3/10. On the flipside, GamePro gave it a 2/5.
And by the way, you mention that "Publishers know that and they won't invest in games like Crysis on WiiU". Are you suggesting that they DID invest in such games on the Wii? Or are you suggesting that, after failing so badly with the Wii, their choice with the Wii U should be to do exactly what they did with the Wii? Because the definition of insanity comes to mind.
