Developer was like no Wii, publisher response was, well this market is not proven on the Wii. Ubisoft stepped up with No More Heroes and Red Steel. Godfather, Scarface, Manhunt 2 should have done better but didn't, and thats what publishers are looking at. The acknowledge that those are 2 ports and a bomb that outperformed the ps2 version. They say how Red Steel can be argued it did well because it was a launch game, Metroid Prime 3 did well but not as well as other Nintendo Games. The Developers have moved on now to other projects, but they would still like to show it some day, and are watching how the Conduit reveal goes for them. |
This section seems so bizarre to me. By the time you wait for a market to be 'proven,' it's already tapped. Why would you want to move into a high-competition, saturated market like party games and Wii Sports clones when you could go up against ports and sloppy launch titles?
If Nintendo had waited for the Wii or DS model to be 'proven,' they would be living off scraps like last gen instead of drinking up all the profits in the gaming industry.
