Big franchises are expected to pull in mega profits. Look at GTAIV, that game alone pretty much keeps T2 alive. The same goes with SE, their big franchises are expected to pull in huge profits or the company will shrivel and die.

If low budget shovelware were so profitable, then THQ would be king. Instead EA, Activision and to a lesser degree SE are the big dogs because they have the big names pulling in big profits.

 

 thank goodness fishyjoe said something before i did.

Seriously shovelware is not king and spin offs will not pay for big franchises.  FF 13 wil sell MORE then enough to make up for its development cost.

FF on the DS is a joke to its fans. Honostly if i heard the next one was going on the ds id flip shit and i know a whole bunch of people who would as well. Honostly, FF is pinacle of RPGS and one of the kings of storytelling, graphics, and gameplay. Putting it on the DS ruins all that. DQ is much more fitting for DS because of its art style, gameplay, and graphics.

 

You both just lost major points for calling games like The World Ends With You, Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy Tactics A2, and countless other DS games from them "shovelware". Beautifully put gentlemen. Give yourselves a pat on the back for raising the term "shovelware" to account for games that people adore and get reviews in the 80s and 90s.
