I really don't think more than 20% of Wii owners (and probably only 30-40% of PS3/360 owners) pay any attention to who makes their games, let alone let it influence their future purchasing decisions. They go off of game name recognition more than anything. |
Exactly, people go off of name recognition. How do you think Nintendo got the name recognition they have? Luck? The reason Nintendo has such a hardcore following is they've had some 20 years of high quality games being pushed out. Even their crappiest crap tends to at least be entertaining. Gamers are dedicated to Nintendo because Nintendo has remained dedicated to gamers.
Now take these other developers, who essentially piss all over their customers by saying "well, they don't know any better, so we're not going to bother putting those features into our games..."
Sure, they may not know any better... NOW, but every point a consumer gets screwed is a consumer who is going to get a little wiser the next time they buy, and eventually the only ones those consumers will go with are the ones that haven't pissed on them.
