Does Nintendo even fight for this stuff or just go oh well dont release it then. It just seems like so little care.
Like when skyrim DLC didnt come out for PS3, Sony went in and helped them get it working and gave a day 1 discount for it when it eventually came out.
Im not saying Nintendo didnt try but it does seem like there customers get the shit end of the stick alot. |
Well I personally don't get DLC on any system hower I do agree it is a pretty crappy end of the stick lol.
What I find funny is they based this decision on preorder sales of the content. I don't think many Nintendo gamers preorder stuff. It is not how they do things. If you look at say Pokemon preorders they are well below the first day sales generally.
However in this case I don't think it would have mattered either way but still a stupid way to judge sales.

I think thats not true. Doesnt matter if Pokemon sold way more day 1 than preorders suggest, but the fact is it was STILL preordered, enough to be high on the charts. Can you name another game in the past few years that didnt have preorders and went on to sell big? On Ninty platforms? what about 3rd party games? What do you think Watchdogs is going to do? I'm gonna say itll probably bomb or not do anywhere close to the other versions.

Well I did say it wouldn't matter, but that is because a lot of Nintendo gamers don't buy 3rd party games to begin with and not because of preorder indications.
Mario Kart on Wii is a good example where preorder was way below final sales. 3rd party AAA games like COD and GTA are all heavly frontloaded as everyne preorders those.
|
Well thats the real issue here isnt it?
No not they are not, I dont know why people keep saying this. Fact is you dont get those numbers by JUST being frontloaded. COD games sell YEAR round, they are consistently in the top 50 until its follow up is released. Which is insane considering it is a yearly franchise. People are STILL buying GTA at full price. both PS3 and 360 versions are in the top ten and that game was released in SEPTEMBER. Its Februrary. being frontloaded is factually wrong.
But maybe you meant its not JUST frontloaded.
