Makes you wonder why SEGA (and any other publisher, really) didn't just release it on PS3, since it has 6x more consoles. Or Wii, for that matter. |
It was released on ps3. I don't know what you tried to do in this post.

He's trying to show you why your argument makes no sense. Higher install base does not automatically equate to higher sales. I can find thousands of examples of this. If install base was all that matters then Sega should just release the next Yakuza on PS2 and DS. Or put it on phones considering their install base is in the billions... Low sales of Yakuza HD on WiiU proved that Nintendo fans aren't interested in the franchise. That's why it's staying exclusively on Sony consoles. A larger install base for the WiiU would have changed nothing.

agreed. It just shows the franchise should stay on sony consoles. This is why i dont understand people complaining about some games going/staying on certain platforms.
dont get me wrong, companies should try to see if it'll sell well on other platforms but sometimes its just a no. One thing i can think of is Persona, it might sell very well on nintendo platforms and we will see on the franchise first performance in june (3DS).

sigh, your statements don't even surprise me anymore. Low sales from a re-re-release of a small franchise on a console with a small base proves that re-re-releases of small franchises don't sell well.

Yes, but there is a difference between re-re-released titles selling badly (like these two did) and what Yakuza sold, which was unmeasurably poor. I know you're pro-Wii-U, Zero, but even with lower standards and applying a range of factors those Yakuza sales were really, really poor.

It's not a rerelease to Nintendo fans. They didn't get the game before. Sega was testing the waters and seeing if WiiU owners were interested in Yakuza, they proved they weren't. COD4 sold well on Wii even though it was a rerelease. Once again since you ignored the rest of my post, a higher install base would have changed nothing.

I 2nd that, no company is going to make any money off a game thats probably sold no more than 8-10k LTD ports aren't as cheap as some may think.
