That bolded line... it makes me very upset too. It's like, can they really have the stomach? As I've said before, I think there's some kind of foul play behind the scenes which involves MS and Sony.

I think it's cool (and insightful) that you tell us about this mysterious phase of anger. It will be interesting to see how long it takes to play out.

Actually $20 million is consider cheap nowadays. You have games like The Old Republic which costed $200 million and Rockstars games which are usually more than $100 million. You obviously didn't clicked the links because you have a lot of examples of various tittles and genres.

But anyway, doesn't matter how much Madden or FIFA dev cost are, you still have to pay for those licenses, and that money needs to be recover from the sales of the game. In the end Madden and FIFA games might be more expensive than The Old Republic. Or you could use CoD as an example, each year the game only sees minor upgrades and that still cost betwwen $40 and $50 million to make. 

I'm truly sorry you suffer from alzheimer's:

So instead of answering me you attack me :)

Well I agree with you there, I am sure Nintendo and EA both had their reasons for the break up lol that contribted to all this.

But I also did not expect the bad  EA ports to sell well. NFS MW does deserve better but I think it suffering risdual effect from the other games, which  as I previously said is sad cause the game is really that good.

Come september-november I think is where people on here will have valid reasons to compain. If watch dogs (assuming it reviews well, based on what we seen so far) doesn't sell well then for the userbase it has at the time I will be dissapointed, considering Ubisoft is trying real hard, even offering the same limited editions that the other consoles have, unlike their launch games.

Because as I said a Wii owner who also got a PS360 to fill that 3rd party void and now owns a Wii U, has no excuse not to buy the game on Wii U.

Same for Wii U only owners.

I clicked on them.  Those are all big budget games.  Im saying you would need to look at individual games to figure out how much money each one makes.  

In the end a business will do what is good for them and if they can afford a big budget and they know they will make there money back they will do it.  We also know that they made money off of the wii or else they wouldnt be publishing on the wii.  The same can not be said for the WiiU at the moment.

Mass consumers doesnt work that way.  Only the few who visit forums are like that which are in the minority.  

And yeah we will see about games like watch dogs.

And we are talking about big budget games here. 

@bold Not true, check the link with "$5 million" on it. Dead Space 3, Kingdoms of Amalur, Max Payne 3, Homefront, L.A Noire were all failures because they expected too much out of them and didn't even made profit. They can take the big budget stuff, but that won't warranty they will recover the money. If you accumulate this failures you'll end up in bankruptcy (see THQ). Square Enix is also suffering from constant failures, you have Tomb Raider as a recent example. If EA didn't had Madden and FIFA they would probably be in the same situation as Square.
