if thats true then a ps3/360 game would have to sell 10 million to be profitable.

Credibility in video game journalism. For every effort made to move forward, there are 10 morons doing a poor rendition of the moonwalk.

That doesn't make sense because then the article is saying that developers are spending around 20-30 million dollars to make wii games and I bet that there is less than 10 games that have spent that much money including marketing costs.

LOL, so true ..



 

Seems like the guy who made this thread read your thread about the rules for being a fanboy, right rol?

Livin' in sin is the new thing.

                         

Two articles, both from no name sites, both being rebuked by previous publisher statements, and neither article shows the quote in context, or rather they don't even show the quote at all even out of context...

So I'm really just gonna call bullshit until someone can cite me a source for this, cause I feel like just locking this thread for misinformation, but will give someone the chance to find an actual source before I do it.

I remember this quote from last year, because it popped up in one of my threads about third party failures. Reggie originally said that "Wii games don't need to sell 1M to make a profit" and the NYT journalist left out the important word "don't".

Of course that didn't stop gaming journalists from running with the NYT story, because why use your own brain if you can copypaste what someone else wrote? That's also why there are so many articles about Pachter quotes.

It makes perfect sense. (It really does.)

Ah thanks Rol just saw your comment, so let the locking commence!

Max, you can lock it now. This was all brought up last year (notice the original article dates) and was bunked back then countless times.
