To NoName2200 ( don't want to quote the whole post).
You claim that titles like NMH, Zack and Wiki exceeded the developers expectations.
That is indeed what the developers said after seeing the sales result.
But when you compare the number of units each title sold compared to the available user base, both titles fared significantly worse than others franchises their developers released on HD consoles...
Looks more to me like the developers did not want to admit the titles didn't do as well as expected.
It's the same way when people try to make us believe than 90k sales in 3 weeks for BloomBox is good and that the title is holding up.
90k for a 20 million user base ( discarding Japan) is pityfull if you take a second to look at it....
PS : Quoting EA profits as a reason for focusing more on the Wii is a half truth.
EA has had an issue making decent profits even at the end of the last gen as it failed to come up with new successfull IPs. The fact they still have issues now is not really a surprise. Madden is getting old and they have yet to find anything to take its succession..
Some developers that have betted heavilly on the HD console have however experienced record profit last year, to name two : Activision and Ubisoft...
