Since when don't sales mean profit, just because I made a dollar doesn't mean I don't want to make two.

Also theirs more to sales than just profit, the more people that own a game that means more people are aware of the product existing, which means mind share which means a spin-off, tie in or sequal could be future profitable ventures.

 

 tell that to DDI that makes billion dollars in profit in course of the year...

@Yushire

What is your point?

My point is that DDI or any other product company wouldn't stop wanting profit, what is your point?

Your basically insinuating that Nintendo or any other product company would be sane to just stop making Wii's once they've made a profit.

Street Fighter 2 still garners revenue for Capcom, that game was released nearly 20 years ago.

Heck you can link random threads all you want but at least make sure they prove your point.

As a reminder YOUR point is: 'Sales don't matter once you make a profit.'



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

 IS IT? :/ I mean why the big 3rd party hitters on HD consoles even with huge sales of their games arent profiting like EA, Take 2, THQ and others? And dont blame the economy again if not even Nintendo arent profiting but the opposite happens.

And what about the PS3? Their games are million sellers in its first month or even in its first week but why arent they profiting from it?

3rd parties wants to make maore and more games in a year to make profits thats whats theyre doing with the PS2, thats why it have many shovelwares why you arent  noticed this in PS2 and noticed it on the wii?

i want to know as well! : P

 

also, it's true about the shovelware in both Wii and Ps2

btw, if 500k is a success, then i can't imagine how much money Nintendo is making from their Mario kart and SSBB...

so this is why there are most games coming out for Wii, not a bad strategy from Nintendo if you think that GC couldn't sell because it had not enough software to choose from

 



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

I want to know too, I think because loyal HD console fans cant accept the truth that there console is losing. What I want to say; dont be depressed its just a gaming console SONY or MS didnt feed or paid you. Accept the fact

I know this is a bit late, but how is HVS useing a HD method for The Conduit. The game, no matter how good it looks, isnt in HD.

HD was actually the resolution, even in standard TV if you play a 360 game the graphics will not change. And thats what HVS wants to make, and HVS will cost them along with SEGA with them...

Yeah i know, and if you play a HD console in SD than switch over to HD youll see a difference. Unfortunetly the Wii cant output HD, its top is only 480p. So its not possible to have a HD game playing on Wii. No matter how much cash is poured into it.

You're still enjoying a good graphics of the 360 even your TV is only standard resolution though. Besides, resolutions doesnt matter it only used in movies the more important is the graphics itself.

The point of HD consoles are the graphics and power not really the resolution.

Yeah of course, and thats what The Conduit is trying to do, look nearly as good as a HD game in SD. Ok ive gotcha.

But the is a difference in graphical quality when playing a game in HD/SD. They dont look identical.
