they will stop making the games i like because they will be making more money making games i dont like as much. It will be profitable to these 3rd parties to make a fun with smaller developmant cost on a bigger userbase. look at this : mario and sonic : 4 million sold, soso game , probably cheap to make equals to tons of profit for sega Uncharted: beautiful, best game on ps3, expensive to make , sold less than 2 million equals less profit. If i am a developper , which would i choose to make? |
Why didn't The Blair Witch Project kill big budget blockbuster movies then?
The truth is that (like all entertainment industries) executives in the videogame industry know that you need to produce a variety of games in order to appeal to different demographics to minimize the risk of development. As long as the games you like can turn a healthy profit they will be made; if they can't turn a profit it is unlikely that they would have been able to turn a profit had the Wii not existed.
