| oniyide said: @Aielyn and people like you keep picking GE, NMHs etc. late ports. and no COD3 on Wii is not comparable to COD3 on 360. There is about a mil different. PS3?? Sure but even that is not the case anymore. Force Unleashed? same deal. 360 did much better. What aobut the sequel? Not even close to the HD numbers, nice how you left that out. GST2 came out long after the original, try again. Tiger Woods mostly sells better on HDs. Table Tennis?? Wow. ToGf was a late port, added content or not it had no business selling better than the original one in a fraction of the time.
My point is that multiplat games do better on HDs(especially 360) than they do on Wii unless its some dancing for fitness game. Thats a fact. You are welcome to try and prove me wrong. |
COD3 Wii: 2.17 million
COD3 360: 2.61 million
PS3 version sales were further below Wii than the Wii version was below 360, at 1.38 million. So you're wrong on that count.
It's closer to the truth in the case of Force Unleashed, with the Wii version being about 800,000 behind. But when you put it in terms of proportion, it's a 33% lower number for the Wii version - not a massive difference, when all is said and done. The difference was a little bigger for the sequel in terms of proportion, but smaller in terms of absolute value, at only about 600,000 behind. The sequel was weak compared with the original, so no big surprise there. And yes, I left out Force Unleashed 2, because I'm demonstrating the absurdity of YOUR argument. I'm not trying to prove that all Wii versions of multiplatform games do better than the other versions, I'm just demonstrating that not all of them do far worse, because that was YOUR claim.
I find it hilarious that you consider GST2 to not count because it came out long after the original. Wow, what a surprise - a game comes out AFTER the previous game in the franchise. They weren't the same game, you know?
How do you figure that Tiger Woods does better on the HD consoles? The best-selling Tiger Woods games between 2006 and 2012 go in this order: 09 Wii, 10 Wii, 08 Wii, 12 PS3, 11 PS3, 10 PS3, 07 PS2, 08 PS3, 09 360. More importantly, the top three, the Wii titles, are the only ones to break the 1 million mark. Tiger Woods 12 PS3 didn't even make it to 800,000. Tiger Woods 09 Wii managed 1.4 million, making it almost twice the sales of the best-selling PS3 version, and well over twice the sales of the best-selling 360 version.
And yes, Table Tennis. The Wii version released a year later than the 360 version, and still easily outsold it. Considering that this is Rockstar's game, I wouldn't mock it if I were you.
Meanwhile, I find it hilarious that you claim that releasing later on the PS3 means that it shouldn't outsell the Wii version, even if it had extra content. Meanwhile, CoD:MW is somehow proof of something. And this is what annoys so many people about the arguments that people like you put forward - the inconsistency, the contradictory attitude, that somehow any game where the Wii sold worse is a legitimate example, but if the 360 and PS3 versions sell worse, then you come up with all sorts of excuses for them, and declare them invalid. I only ask consistency - either include all examples, or use the same metrics for rejecting examples.
You want examples of simultaneous release games that did better on Wii than PS3 or 360? OK. It won't be a long list, but only because of how few games actually went true multiplatform between the three. It's also incomplete, because I have to pick which ones are multiplatform, and then check them - it takes time.
Sonic Unleashed - Wii version outsold PS3 and 360 versions combined.
Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing - Wii version sold just under the PS3 and 360 versions combined.

Star Wars The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes - Wii version nearly outsold PS3 and 360 versions combined.
Tony Hawk: RIDE - Wii version nearly outsold PS3 and 360 versions combined.
Disney Universe - Wii version nearly outselling PS3 and 360 versions combined.
Epic Mickey 2 - Wii version outselling PS3 and 360 versions combined by a fair amount.

Guitar Hero III - Wii version outsold 360 version, sold more than double PS3 version.
Guitar Hero: World Tour - Wii version easily outsold 360 version, sold more than double PS3 version.
Guitar Hero 5 - Wii version easily outsold 360 and PS3 versions (also most of the spinoff GH games, but I won't bother listing them).
de Blob 2 - Wii version outsold PS3 and 360 versions.
Ghostbusters: The Video Games - Wii version outsold PS3 version, easily outsold 360 version.
Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII - Wii version easily outsold PS3 and 360 versions.
Tomb Raider: Anniversary - Wii version sold more than double 360 version. No PS3 version (but it did outsell the PS2 version handily).
I'd list more, but you'd be shocked how few notable multiplatform titles the Wii actually got (especially amongst the ones that released simultaneously). If you rule out CoD, Force Unleashed, and the EA sports titles, there's really not much left beyond the kinds of franchise you see in the above list.
Note that the Wii version of Sonic Unleashed far outsold the other versions, but the Wii still didn't get Sonic Generations. Note that the Wii version of Blazing Angels easily outsold the other versions, but it still didn't get the sequel. Note that Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing sold best by far on Wii, but didn't get the sequel (Wii U did, at least).
Also note that, whenever a Wii version struggled, the developer typically refused to make a sequel on the Wii... but the only case I recall of this happening with the other systems was Rayman Raving Rabbids, another game that belongs on the above list (but I decided not to bother adding, because I could already see your response - "party game doesn't count"... heck, I expect you to reject most of the games on the list because "kiddy" or things like that... let me just say, if you do, you'll just be confirming my opinion of you).
