Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nerf N-Strike and QoS, Wii games that have HUGE legs?

stof on 29 November 2008

Instead of using the terms legs, perhaps with some games we should use the phrase, less front end loaded. Some games will have great sales and some games will have crappy sales, but in the case of almost every Wii game (in NA and Europe), it's sales are less front end loaded. This is true of hits and flops.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

So... how 'bout them legs er... front loadedness vs. end loadedness...

(But seriously, splitscreen shouldn't be thought down on as some hindrance for gaming advancement. What could possibly be wrong with hanging out with a couple of pals duking it out to prove whom is better than whom? Always provides a whole bunch of fun.)

I don't understand how any gamer can think that splitscreen play is a hindrance.



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

Just shows you need months to judge if a Wii game is a success. Some take even longer. Dewy's Adventure had just 30k a year ago, but is now up to 100k.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Did Konami profited from Dewy even it only sell 100,000? :?
