Forums - Sales - Driver on Nintendo... Oh dear!

Mordred11 on 10 September 2011

Half of those sales are from the developers's families.

I love the Nintendo trolling in this thread. The game sold bugger all on all platforms, and considering both the likelihood that the Wii and 3DS versions will have better legs, and the miniscule cost of porting PS360 games to the WiiDS compared to the cost of making the game in the first place, I would say that Ubisoft regrets making a driver game at all as much as they regret the Wii and 3DS versions in particular.

Who buys driver anymore?

In the other thread I mentioned that I never knew the Wii game existed, and now I'm going to say the same about the 3DS version...

I knew the 3DS game existed, and I was going to buy it, but it got bad reviews

The 3DS game got 3-5 points reviews, who could buy it at full price?

Neither the 3DS or Wii versions are ports, they're made from the ground of for each platform. Check out the Wii ign review:

Game being trash never stopped people on DS or Wii previously ;)

Sure, but does it matter if a bad game has bad sales? Better if  games who deserve good sales (like Ghost Recon, from Ubisoft too) get higher sales.

I saw a Driver: San Francisco advert on telly the other day. At the end they only showed the game cases for the PS3 and 360 version. Bewildering - it's not as though it would have cost any more money to include the Wii case in the same shot.

It could be because the footage shown would not be representitive of the games being advertised, so they could be accused of false advertising, but I am sure they could have got around it by saying something like "also on Wii"

But I don't Ubisoft would purposefully make a bad game and fail to advertise it to try and justify not bothering with the Wii or 3DS for core games, though having said that, I believe they have already cancelled the 3DS Assassin's Creed game (the story of which was taken for Revelations I think)
