This might be the 3rd time I've posted this today.
All big budget 3rd party titles out right now were planned and in development prior to the launch of the Wii. At that point most developers/publishers had wrote off the Wii and very few put much budget into their Wii titles.
Now that they know the success of Wii, we've read how they've tripped over themselves to reallocate resources to Wii development.
Big budget development is a 2-3 year investment and we will start to see those on Wii later this year to early next year. |
True. But what if thy look at the few third party hardcore titles there are, their sales and don't believe in Wii still?
Well, some nice stuff, third party and second party will come, but the belief that Wii will fail is still heavy and it has already affected the console even if it gets better and maybe Nintendo could have done something about it with more deals like Red Steel, Disaster: Day of Crisis and Fatal Frame 4 and gotten some of it out earlier instead of just Nintendo core series. |
Not likely. A console can't sell dozens of millions and not be able to sell big budget titles. Publishers are already happy with sales of the mid budget Wii titles so why woudl they assume their bigger budget Wii titles would sell less? Bigger budget titles get bigger marketing and we know how that can help even lousy games sell well......I'm looking at you Kane and Lynch. |
We read about it all the time, the disbelif in Wii and if I'm not mistaken, IGN hinted about publishers looking at software sales on Wii and therfore not wanting to make or publish real hardcore titles on Wii.
Obscure: The Aftermatch is a title I thoght would sell more then 300 000, and look at it now.
But you got a point that big budget titles do sell, and if they fail, then they should sell more then 400 000 anyway. Wii only got only a few big budget titles. Multiplatform games has a problem in sales, and that might stay.
