Well, how about those good 3rd party games that have been released on the wii?

Okami: 0,11m sold -

zack&wiki: 0,38m sold

Boom Blox: 0,21m sold

NMH: 0,33m sold

bully: 0,22m sold

Not too good. Of course there are few exceptions, like RE4 which sold over 1,6m and PES 08 with 0,6m. Guitar hero sells a lot, but that is a very casual title.

 

 

 This is a bit silly.

Okami: 0,11m sold - not out in Europe, dev's expected 300K WW, could make that. The Ps2 version sold less, so obviously Ps2 doesn't sell 3rd party titles.

zack&wiki: 0,38m sold - dev's wanted 500K. Could happen.

Boom Blox: 0,21m sold - still selling a lot, could make a million.

NMH: 0,33m sold  Grasshopper's best selling game. Exceeded expectations.

bully: 0,22m sold - the 360 version was much better, yet failed to achieve 500K. This isn't really a quality title.

Now some good "quality" sellers

GHIII: 2.83M - great sales, on par with 360 sales, crushes Ps3's.

RE4: 1.65M - is outselling the GC version. Could make 2M - not bad for a port.

S&tSR: 1.40M - sells nice for a Sonic title. It surely made a lot of money.

RRR - 1.26M - awesome party game. Sure to have made heaps of money.

 

You could say the same about Ps3 in a way (of course not as drastical).

UT3 - failed to make 500K, which is sad for such a quality title.

Valkyria Chronicles - 130K, great game, but bad sales.

The Orange Box - 110K, even with the flaws it's a good game.

 

Some good sellers that don't "deserve" it.

NFS:C - 780K. Not really a good game.

K&L - 690K. Not heard a lot, but reviewers hate it.

Singstar - 420K, but awesome legs. May sell a million, and why does it deserve it any more than Game Party, again?

 

See, anyone can make a controversial list, not totally looking into the facts, and complain. I'm sure a lot of people would think of the above of proof that quality doesn't sell on Ps3, etc, but really it means that they didn't show it to the public correctly, bad advertising, wrong boxart, etc.

 

So please check on before complaining about stuff. You have a very valid complaint, but the way you presented it is wrong.

The cause doesn't erase the usage (or whatever it is in English)
