Yes, Cube had Smash and Kart, and they both sold very well. Without those two games, Gamecube probably would have had numbers close to Dreamcast level.. Wii U has some Wii type games, but they are sequels. They don't break any new ground like those games did when they were, well, "new." What Wii U needs is more of these "new" fresh games. Splatoon is potentially one of those titles. We shall see.. I don't know how many times I have to emphasize something that is seemingly so stupidly obivious, but ok, one more time.. People don't play controllers. People play GAMES. You could make the argument that Wii's success a result of the cominbation of the controller used in conjunction WITH the right games, but saying it's simply the controller is completely wrong and missing the point. What if the Wii was released but only came with games that were the quality of Ninja Bread Man and Bug Island? Do you truly believe it would have been as successful? Controller doesn't mean shit without quality games that utilize it, and utlize it properly. |
Problem with new fresh games is they are not that easy to produce other wise they wouldnt be new or fresh. Funny thing is the others dont seem to have an issue selling and they arent exactly new or fresh. Spatoon is a FPS with light cartoon graphics nothing new or fresh about that. Hell i think there was a cel shaded FPS done before.
I wasnt implying otherwise. Wii SPorts would have sucked without the controller and the system would not have been as popular without WiiTitles.
Honestly? Yeah, it depends on how those games use the controller. Now it would not have done as well, but i think the novelty would have def moved some systems initially. Quality is very subjective. Those shovelware games that some people seem to hate? SOme of those actually sold and sold real well.
