The problem kingofwale is that when this game sells badly it'll be blamed purely because "core 3rd party games don't sell on the Wii" when these niche games couldn't sell on the PS2.

We all know this game won't sell, it's too niche for just about anybody. You will probably love it, I know I will love it.

Yes, haters will definitely use that excuse, but why isn't this game also being ported to PS2 or PSP? Then that way, there won't be anybody complaining about it.

Making a core game for Wii exclusive just doesn't really make sense to me, much like a FPS game exclusive for PS3... Haze anyone?

Like I said, it should sell well FOR A NICHE GAME.

Also, how is making a core game exclusive to the Wii not make sense? Core games can't sell on the Wii or somethng? I bet if this was on the PS3/360 it would sell worse.

 Well, it really depends on what you expect the game to sell. I say 100K seems to be the minimal it needs to sell to at least don't take a loss in the financial report.

 

that been said, I don't see why it makes sense for a third party game that will potentially make no profit to be exclusives. I am saying this to  Mad World, I said the same thing about GTAIV, And I will say it again when Haze gets released. it MAKES no sense for a game to be exclusive when it can do much better as an non-exclusive.

 

Of course, exception are given to first/second party games. Games with a long living franchise on a system and companies get paid to keep it there.
