| Squilliam said: A. Good game, wide appeal to lots of people of all ages due to the subject matter, poor sales. I don't get it. This isn't just a franchise, its the most popular sport in the world. B. NPD data shows that 5% of console owners own 2 or more current gen systems. With 3 million PS2 games sold it shows that either there are a lot of dual PS2/Wii owners that bought the game on the PS2 or that the new Wii owners just aren't interested. I would pick its both of those factors. Still the sales are terrible compared to the other consoles. I don't get it. Im concerned that the sales are that low. |
The sales are not terrible at all when you consider all the factors people presented in this thread. I think you'll see much better sales for PES09 Wii than you did for PES08, provided Konami launches it at the same time as the PS2/PC versions. The vast majority of people simply don't want to own more than one version of the same game.
The people who bought PES08 for the Wii were probably in one of the following groups:
1- People who never had owned a PES game before.
2- Hardcore PES fans who don't mind having more than one version of PES08.
3- People who specifically waited for the Wii version of the game.
To me, this is more than enough to explain PES08 Wii's sales (which frankly aren't that bad for the short timeframe we're looking at here).
