Let's take the Wii for example - using Metacritic's top scores for 3rd party Wii games: Rock Band 2 - 1.00 Million Units Sold Xenoblade Chronicles - 0.83 Million Units Sold Rayman Origins - 0.42 Million Units Sold Resident Evil 4 Wii - 2.13 Million Units Sold Okami - 0.52 Million Units Sold Those are the top 5, 3rd party games on the Wii. Two were over 1 million units. That's absolutely horrendous for games that have a >90 Metacritic score. You can defend it all you want, but even the fantastic Wii titles like Xenoblade have pitiful sales worldwide. Had Xenoblade been an HD affair, it would have likely sold 3-4 times as many copies, worldwide. The Wii/WiiU caters towards a specific crowd. That specific crowd does not buy large amounts of non-Nintendo core titles. Comparatively, the 3DS/DS appeal to almost everyone, and 3rd party sales are generally better among top-tier titles. |
not really interested in partaking in this ridiculous debate b ut serious why the hell do people still think xenoblade is a third party game? when the studio that made it is owned by nintendo and was published and funded 100% by nintendo?
