Forums - Nintendo - Will Deus Ex HR Director's Cut Wii U version sales be affected by other versions?

The WiiU version will bomb. Almost anyone with any interest in this (which wouldn't be many to begin with) would have a PS360 as well as a WiiU and will get it for those platforms.

before all this WiiU port nonsense i had respect for the minds behind publishers like Squareenix. sega etc...
aaaaall gone



I was thinking of buying the game, but it is kind of stupid what Square Enix is doing. The people who asked for the game to be on Ps3 and 360 probably wont buy it anyway, when they can get the original for $10 or free with PS+



I don't see this doing well. The crowd could be there, but Square has really hit themselves in the head by making this Director's Cut multiplatform before it was released on Wii U. That will totally undermine the Wii U version's sales.

I'm actualy happy that this is going multiplat. I never saw this game doing possibly well. I could see this game bomb and then hear the ''3rd party should'nt support WiiU cause games don't sell'' argument all over again from Square or others... Now this game will do terrible numbers on all platforms so they won't be able to blame the console :)


nah itll bomb, but not as bad as it will on Wii U. its more expensive and selling to a much smaller install base, but i could be wrong, they could all bomb the same

I get why they did the PS360 release. There was a ton of nerd rage customer enthusiasm about it. But it seems kind of pointless to launch a "test" game and undermine it like that, doesn't it? 

 

They should have waited until after the Wii U launch to announce PS360 versions if they actually wanted to learn anything from their "test."

 


i think you are really overplaying the nerd rage, very few actually aske or cared, now Bayonetta 2, that was some nerd rage. And did they say it was a test game?



it is an actual good game and anyone who ONLY has a Wii U(all five of you) should still check it out, not for 50 bucks hell no, game is too old, but when the price drops

You're probably right and I'm conflating the clamor for a PS360 release with the incredible fury that Deus Ex on mobile generated.

And c'mon, it's a late port to a Nintendo console. Of course it's a test game.
