| oniyide said: I dont see how a late port equates to microtransactions. What? those arent even close to the same thing. You are really reaching. You are ignoring things like timed exclusives, are maybe the HW just flat sucking and it needed more time to be worked on(which was pretty much the case for PS3 initially) Why would you pay full price? cause you dont have a choice, its the only way to play that game if you REALLY wanted to play in the first place. Doesnt matter if its bargain on a system you dont have. either get that system. buy it when it comes to your system or not all. Hell you could even wait till your version its the bargain bin. Rayman and GTA dont even have the same kind of audience, lets not pretend Rayman was going to sell well it wasnt. It hasnt since the original which ironically was PS exclusive. YOu know what was dumb making it WIi U exclusive in the first place. I would have bought Smash too, but i would have got Watchdogs eventually if I wanted it, do people not have money can they only get one game at a time right at that time? hell could have bought it the next month. People just need to admit that really werent interested in the game in the first place. Its ok. |
Do you have issues reading? Serious question because if you did you'd know microtransactions weren't even being compared to them in any context, the fact you even thought that makes me question if you could.
You just highlighted the thinking of why the userbase on Nintendo platforms ignore such games, the fact is they do have a choice and that is to not buy the game and save for something else or in this case drop it on Smash which would fill the void of not buying it until the next game they want on the platform. The are many games I want but I don't spend aimlessly especially with the commitments I have and I have a really good job so I imagine those who aren't as fortunate can't be dropping full price for a game in the bargain bins when Smash is out right next to it, if you have no commitements or live in your parents house it'll be hard to fathom.
You're champ[ioning a point that late ports sold on PS3 right? Those games were late ports and didn't sell, the are factors behind why and that's the point the are factors behind why the late ports didn't sell as well, some such as releasing games with missing features, modes, no access to DLC current and future to being released a long side big titles Like Smash, 3DW etc...
If you think you can approach the consumer with an approach of you have no choice then your understanding of them is as bad as some of your reading as even if someone really wants something the's always a limit, Nintendo's userbase passed that a while ago which makes third parties' wayward attempts to test the waters comical as the fanbase detects it like moths to lights. The funny thing is a games like ZombiU which had effort put in to it did well and was dropped.
