How can you blame Microsoft and Sony or even Nintendo for the reception of a third party game that got terrible reception? I am just saying that your standards are low for survival on a Nintendo platform for third parties. There chances are higher elsewhere. 100 M in sales and you're using games that sold 1 and 2 million to vouche for the profitability of being on a Nintendo console?

I'm not blaming anybody, I'm saying that IF you blame Nntendo, then MS and Sony must share that blame. You'rer right, both 007 Legends and Epic Mickey 2 flopped because they were terrible.
1-2 million sales is enough for developers to be profitable.

1 or 2 million in sales depends on the level of developmental resources and money put into the projects. Everyone knows the Wii was just above sixth generation, just like the Wii U is just about seventh generation tech. It was supposed to be low risk, high reward situation, but things went wrong. Those are very low expectations regardless. If these studios closed down someting went wrong.

The "something that went wrong" had nothing to do with the Wii though. They made bombs that flopped on all systems.

No denying that, 007 Legends was on the Wii U though, not the Wii. I just looked it up. It's highly understandable why that game flopped besides sucking. No one wanted it on any platform. Yep, I can see why Epic mickey went under now, it was put on current gen platforms and the Wii U without adequate marketing even though it got underpar reviews. The profit level was raised on both games. They could've profited on if the games were on 6th generation tech, but not 7th. 007 Legends wouldn't even have profited on 6th generation tech.

i dont know where you live but in New York at least Epic Mickey 2 got more than adequate advertisment. Ive seen commercials, and their were billboards. The game flopped cause it sucked. Matter of fact ill go one further, and say that the orginal Epic Mickey wasnt all that either, it got hyped by fans of the system cause it was exclusive and got more ads, people bought it in droves, wasnt what they wanted. Sequel time came around and they said "naw im good"
