IMHO, nothing is really viable except for Ninty's own games at the moment. For one the console isnt exactly flying off the shelves, and two as sales have shown the third party games that are their, casual or otherwise are not flying off the shelves themselves. Of that kind i meant, the whole horror survival thing it has, IMHO that kind of game isnt exactly a system mover, thats something that could be put out at another time of year. But its too late now. Im very interested to see what Wii Fit and MK will do, cause 2d Mario isnt doing nothing and JD isnt doing nothing for WIi U. Those four series were the heavy hitters for Wii. |
I am too.
As for ZombiU, we both agree that it is the top-selling U 3rd party game, and considering 50% bundling is still in the top 3. As per OP I just want to stress that in terms of viability the core games are fairing better than the casual ones when it comes to 3rd parties.
Whether that meets the bottom line or not will depend on the effort, and given a sequel is coming out for ZombiU I wouldn't expect a negative outlook. All in all per OP there is a market for ZombiU and core 3rd party exclusives even this early in the console's life. Not all will make money but at least there is money to be made. This is business and it is a bit cut-throat. Though I agree the platform should be viable to as many partners as possible, so long as one company has shown that money can be made as a 3rd party that should be enough for certain companies to take the risk.
