So, exactly how notifying that the update is coming to the Wii U help its sales? If there is no plans for there to be any other release of Deus Ex for anything but the Wii U, and not saying so, help sales? There is another Deus Ex that HAS been announced for the other consoles. The issue you have isn't with the announcement, it is with the lack of 360 and PS3 rereleased versions. And I think it is highly presumptive that people would rebuy that which they already own, or traded in. |
it getting more attention (such as this thread, speculation, etc) because it's best version of a game around a ~89-90 meta rated game when the wii-u has a lack of software, and it stirs the pot from users of other consoles, that it otherwise wouldn't have. You could certainly make the argument that internet hype =/= sales.
Actually Human Defiance was an 8-bit april fools joke. It's not announced.

I have no issue with anything, besides you pulling that out of your ass. Especially since I don't play PS3 or 360... >_<. I even said that I'm not saying this is going to be re-released. If SE wants to release it only on wii-u that's their perogative. Just that I think it will, based on previous evidence.
Rereleases obviously work otherwise companies wouldn't do it repeatedly, it's worked before on same platform, The first Deus Ex had a re-release, Thief had a re-release, Street fighter's had re-releases, Ninja Gaiden's re-releases, Multiple Resident Evil's with re-releases. A lot of Square Games in Japan. Multiple GoTY editions from other games.
