Guitar Hero and Rock Band died long before 8th gen started. ANd Just Dance has been on 8th gen consoles from the start, so what you said was blatantly wrong. Edit: on a side note damn near every popular casual game, your Zumbas, Just Dances, Carnival Games, Nintendogs, Brain Training hell even Raving Rabbids got a follow up on WiiU or 3DS so that right there would have solved the overflooding problem. Why release generic mini game comp number 87 when you already released the one from the series people actually gave a damn about? You wouldnt. and all those games flopped or were meh, so if casuals didnt jump on board for there fav series what would have made them? |
Guitar Hero/Rock Band did not die out of lack of interest, they died due to their publishers milking them for all they were worth and releasing 10+ versions each over the course of 3 years. Overflooded, even though people still enjoyed those games, they weren't going to buy 5 versions of the same game in a year. I know Just Dance was there at launch, I never said otherwise, my words were, "the annual Just Dance title".
Good god, do I have to explain this again, this has got to be the third or fourth time now. On 3DS/Wii U, they launched with a couple causal titles then nothing for 8-9 months then a few casual games during the holiday then another 8-9 months before anything notable. And I also originally listed another 3-4 reasons why casuals did not move over to 3DS/Wii U such as price/marketing/design, there wasn't any single isolated reason, it was a combination of multiple factors.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
