"Wii Third-Party Struggles Highlighted by May NPD" - GameDaily

[ZenfoldorVGI]

I know better than to waste time arguing with Legend in one of his classic, "Lets talk about how poorly a Nintendo sold item is performing in a cherrypicked subject, and I found a news article to validate my attempts to rain on your parade" posts.

I'll just say this.

Publishers are just starting to take babysteps into the AAA Wii 3rd party support market of game manufacturing.

Just because their first foray into the field isn't a resounding success doesn't mean that they are giving up, unlike Legend hopes they will. He hates the Wii, you must understand, first and foremost. Don't let him pretend that having Nintendo fanboys on the defensive isn't the bread and butter of his type of trolling.

Just give it some time. Red Steel, NMH, Zack and Wiki, Umbrella Chronicles, RE4, Guitar Hero, and several other 3rd party games have sold well above their expected sellthrough. First, however, you have to market them. Viral marketing isn't enough. Note to EA on that one.

 

If we can get over this fanboy crap of believing that one game proves or disproves a theory completely, then we can move on to some serious conversation. As for good 3rd party games, who is to say that Boom Blox doesn't have legs? Even if it didn't, wouldn't this failure of a good 3rd party game be the exception that proves the rule, rather than another in a trend?

Isn't that article cherrypicking one game to prove its point? How has anyone so far have been able to get away with actually backing it up? I didn't even read it, yet I can tell it's completely bogus and mis-sourced from its title. It's like saying, "The sky is red according to last nights weather." It really doesn't need to go any further than that.

It's a hit piece based off the NYT article from either an ignorant, casual, or fanboy reporter, and mention of it from this poster is nothing short of flamebait. Trust me, even Legend knows it's bull. He's smart, despite the fact that he tries to pretend articles like this have substance for his own ends.
