So today they are found in a similar pickle. I work for an advertising company. I meet a lot of people when I go to events etc...and everyone and their mom has a wii. Its just a cool thing to have...these people will see a game like DMC or call of duty and will chose wii play over it any day. Kids and old nintendo fans will go for mario games. Who will buy the COD's, the DMC's, the MGS's if they were coming to the wii? You, Me...lots of people on this site sure. But most "casual" gamers on ps3 and xbox will eat it up while casual gamers on the wii are my mom and dad. |
We all know casuals don't buy the 360/PS3. Don't tarnish the hardcore stereotype! Jeez.
The problem still remains that even most "good" games on the Wii are either ports of the PS2 games, or they just plain suck. Any game that is good that isn't a port usually fall into the smaller market (or niche), and thus aren't meant to sell well anyway.
I would feel that a COD4 quality level FPS, with MOH:H2 controls, with Halo 3 advertising, would probably sell at least a million. I know that doesn't sound very good compared to the 360/PS3 sales, but those consoles dominate in that field, because those consoles cater directly to them. But in the long run it's going to hurt them, because casuals do make up the majority of the market, and the casuals (new and old a like) are going to the Wii.
