The truth is likely somewhere in the middle or so, but no one will agree and people will start getting angry and then get banned.  And another day has gone by on vgchartz. |
well i dont want to blame anybody. Im just thinking that its impossible that a port of a already finished game isnt profitable if it sells 200k+. Its not like that i think third party publisher dont want that money. They could easily hire a extern studio to make a port, sell it and get 2-3 mio$ additional money (if my calcuations are correct). So there should be another reason...
Even a giant game like witcher 3 just cost 30mio to make, including ports to consoles, voice acting, localisation and co. So i doubt a simple wii u port will be more then 4 mio$ (what u will get by selling 200k on a system). Exspecially if you already made an xbox 360 version.
