| BMaker11 said: PS/XB exclusive. "It's already been on Nintendo. Why don't you think they should get the next one?" Even when Nintendo publishes this game and gives it its backing, Ninty fans still didn't buy it. Now, this may be the fault of the WiiU not having a particularly large install base, but then again, other Nintendo published games sold multiple millions. And it's not like Bayonetta is some niche game. Hack n slash is still alive and well. When a big Nintendo logo is on the package and Ninty fans still don't buy it, why should they get the next one? At least PS/XB fans actually demanded Bayo2 (i.e. Ninty fans had nothing to say about wanting Bayo2 prior to its WiiU exclusivity) to the point where the developer actually responded to it. I can understand being WiiU exclusive because Nintendo is the only reason the game could exist, but should a Bayo3 be brought up, find a different means to make sure the game exists. Because Nintendo surely isn't the right route. And obviously, if it goes PS/XB it probably won't go WiiU anyway, either because of architecture differences ("WiiU isn't powerful enough to achieve our vision") or the developer won't see the value in a WiiU version. I'm for the PS/XB exclusive choice because I don't see the value in a WiiU version. "But, more people will get to play the game. How does that affect you?". Because a WiiU version takes money to make. And if they don't recoup that money, then they take a loss. Which affects their overall business and making more and more games. It's not always as simple as "why don't you want more people getting the chance to play the game?" |
Because you think they would have expected a game where they didn't get the first part before? I don't think any Nintendo fan would have dared to even hope for the game prior to the announcement.
700k is not really bad considering the Wii Us Userbase, and the fact that the first one barely made 2 millions on a much bigger userbase.
Xbox/PS fans might been asking for the game, and they where also all praising the first one. Too bad none actually bought the game, else they would without a doubt have gotten the game served on a silver platter with Microsoft, Sony or even Sega financing the title. But with the sales as they where, nobody wanted take that risk - exept Nintendo. And considering how Platinum Games likes to work with them, I doubt the series will go anywhere else.
As for the OP: Multiplat would be nice, if Nintendo wouldn't get shafted in the process.
