That's the same tactic many other people have used in this thread: Focus on an exception to the rule and pretend that the exception is the rule, therefore the rule is not true. Although I consider it premature to lump you in with the pack right away, so view this more as me pointing out what has been the trend in this thread. The thing about Wii Play is that it wasn't a $50 game. The consumer perception was that a standalone Wii Remote is $40 and the Wii Play package (game and Wii Remote) is $50, making the perceived cost of the game essentially $10. Remember that Wii Remotes were in high demand because people wanted to play local multiplayer on Wii. All that Wii Play had to live up to was a $10 value; of its nine minigames, three of them were modern versions of Pong, Combat and Duck Hunt which were very successful games during their time. If the subjective opinions of modern gamers are inserted, Wii Play is considered a crappy game. If sales data and video game history is researched, then the objective conclusion is very different. Consumers usually had the choice to add Wii Play to their Wii Remote purchase - exceptions being sellout periods of standalone Wii Remotes - and a large number thought that $10 for Wii Play is fair. Which is understandable, because it was a title with a few solid minigames that you could really play with anyone. |
OK, what about the Just Dance games then? Those sold year after-year.
