Metacritic scores means nothing if your games keep flopping on a commercial basis. |
then wii games is the best then in your definition huh.... and call of duty :)
|
I will admit that I did love the shit out of the WII because of the extremely fun games and that especially goes with mario kart wii and wii sports. I won't deny the fact that I like call of duty too which is pretty decent. 
I'm one of the few people who will not categorize dumb shit like "casual" or "hardcore" but a gamer is a gamer.
|
Yea the whole arguement is really dumb. People use hardcore to replace Niche (Pikmin,Dark Souls,Catherine) and call things casual that are really just wide appeal (COD, Mario Kart). Casual to me is things like Wii Sports,Kinect Sports,Wii Fit, Just Dance...basically just games that non-gamers are willing to pick up and play. Good Luck finding some non-gamers to play COD with you.

It's thanks to COD that those non-gamers also came to the PS360. 
Your underestimating CODs ability to create growth in gaming because COD ACTUALLY SELLS HARDWARE.

No doubt COD sells hardware right now, just look at the PS4/Xbone software sales. I am just saying that to me casual is something that anyone that is a non-gamer can pick up and play right away. Wii Sports - swing the controller like a tennis racket, bowl a ball. Just Dance - Do the moves we tell you to do. My first COD was the first one on the PC and at the time it was only a small to mid tier title. MW2 brought in soooooo many people that did not play COD before, and to me thats when it really took off. Now alot of people are tired of it, but if you only started 2 - 3 years ago, I can see why you are not yet. Sales are creeping down by about 3 million release since MW3.

I think the next big hit might go to activisions destiny. Bungie is no doubt a talented studio and I'm willing to see what they'll bring up.
|
I think Destiny will do really well, but considering that it is releasing on 360 and PS3, its not going to move the kind of hardware that Sony and Microsoft would like. I really don't get why Destiny and Titanfall are being released on the old consoles. Imagine of Pikmin 3 and SM3DW were released on the Wii, people would be trashing them for not knowing what they are doing, yet Microsoft is trying to double-dip and get a free pass.
