| shams said: You should *all* be grateful for this. Now people can spot any of these Ubisoft games from a distance - just look for "Play Zone", and you can avoid them all at once. Nintendo has definitely succeeded in their aim: allow companies to make money from games with no development budget (and no fresh ideas). ... Seriously though - been keeping up to date with these sales? Deca Sporta: 353k (45k/week) Carnival Games: 2m (35k/week) Game Party: 900k (30k/week) Mario Party 8: (well yeah... 5.5m + counting) Rayman Rabbids II: 1.2m (20k/week) Smarty Pants Wii: 600k No shortage of money or sales there. We need the "family game party" genre to get saturated on the Wii - only THEN can the crappy games stop selling, and allow the quality ones to rise to the top. Until saturation occurs, there will be more and more crap arriving... |
I think we're already reaching that point - all of the games you listed are of particular high quality for their genre if you like. Truth is Mario Party is Nintendo, Game Party and Carnival Games are budget priced, Smarty Pants is the only retail quiz game I know of and RRR made it's name at launch.
The others are doing nothing and I may be wrong on this but Ubisofts Wii Imagine titles aren't setting the things alight with their sales.
