Second of all, it is third parties fear of taking that minimal risk that prevents there from being three healthy platforms for 3rd party games, which would benefit everyone in the industry. While of course there is some consumer fault, you can't blame Nintendo fans for being skeptical of 3rd party games when we have gotten the short end of the stick repeatedly. |
Deus Ex is a great game, that alone should have allow it to sell a better amount, I do agree that SE could have done a better job at marketing and promotion, but anything less than 100k for such a great development effort, good gamepad integration and improvements is just sad. Nintendo fans are becoming elitist, if the game is not perfect and has exclusvie features it does not deserve even a second look and that is what is hurting the third parties, I have seen too many examples...
look here is Batman: Arkham Origins at the same time as the others version and with less bugs, yes it is missing a feature that almost nobody will use but is 10 U$ cheaper to compensate. Don't want it
Check it out, Resident Evil: Revelations is launching on the console and is a damn good version. Nope, I don't want it
There are just too many examples, any minor flaw that usually people will not notice makes the game a bad tittle and not worth it. If we were buying a lot of games we could demand a better quality and improved versions, but if nothing sells, the publishers will just not put too much effort, or like in this case, no effort at all.
I have 15 third party games for the console, I am complying with the pact and even I don't feel entitled to demand anything from them, not even a cheap port of this game, because I know already that nobody will buy it, just me and a few other guys like zippy or spurgeonryan, and we are not enough to make it worth it.
