Arkham Origins 2 is the sequel to Arkham Origins 1, so people have to play and beat the first one before they pay for part 2, plus Arkham 1 & 2 both got very bad reviews for just reasons. I do agree with you on everything, except for the fact that indies have been using smartphones & tablets & PCs to sell the sequels, which are 3DS exclusives. But yeah, these indie games have very little inpact at the end of the day, so it doesn't matter.
Basically I agree with everything you just said. But there is a very good audience in the West for good Japanese games, and the Japanese Devs tend to make 3DS exclusives, because they prefer to make new games as Glasses-Free 3D exclusives. So good thing Japanese games on in good demand in the west, since western games tend to only be on Home Consoles only, for the latest HD graphics with their 800 MHz clocked GPUs. Yeah, this Gen is pretty much predictable, but I hope next Gen will be mixed up for both Home Consoles & Handhelds, instead of just Japanese on Nintendo Handheld, and western Devs for Home Consoles, like we clearly have for this entire Gen. |
40 bucks for spy hunter is way too much. But i imagine thats what most people think about these handheld games which is why the software sells the way it is. IMHO im pessimistic i dont see the situation changing. Western devs did their thing with DS and even PSP got a few console like non shovelware games. Unfortunatly neither of their followups are doing anything close to their respective predecessors so western devs are like scew it phones it is. I dont think Wester audience is crazy about spending 30 to 40 in an age with much cheaper games on their phones. Hopefully their are enough people still willing to do that to keep handhelds afloat
