also i would like to add if this is true as well than they would have made sonic for the wii for roughly 2mil and have it make up for the lost of sonic hd, which is very poor business practice on something that wont ever make money back.

 

 Well according to VGchartz

Sonic Unleashed on Wii has 750000 in sales.

Sonic unleahsed PS3 + 360 has....750000 in sales.

Also consider that Wii version sells for 10 less.

Just something to think about.

The ps360 version will make its money back if it hasn't already. Wii will make a huge profit. All wii owners seem to LOVE the Wii version over everything else.

Isnt that an everybody wins situation?!?

erm, maybe they launch 10 bucks more but that is not the case most place I go. SU like the lego games is 49.99 for the PS360.

Disolitude- you are stuck in your old way of gaming, it is obvious you dont see that graphics are not everything, they are now a luxory for most genres (besides Sim racing, and maybe certain FPS games)

I love great graphics, that is why I have a PS3, but I also enjoy fun games that dont my entire time and devotion to them. I like my Wii because it is more FUN than my PS3, the PS3 is cool though, I play COD4 and WaW alot on it, and MGS4 is good too. But I would buy a Wii version of a game if the controls were done right, that is why I am considering SU Wii over the PS3, I doupt if you had to pick one you would go with the lesser graphics one, really in most cases.

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

Im sorry we disagree.

You may find shaking the wii mote more fun than pushing A. Or you may find flailing left, right, left with the wii mote controller is more fun than pushing A, A, B. Thats personal prefference and I'm not saying you are wrong.

But even you can't disagree that the ps360 version has 5X the polish and care put in to it.

The 3D world levels are terrible on the wii because they are picture and text based, you just push A until the text stops and the gmae lets you actually play. The hub levels are completely unecessary...jsut a room before the actual levels. On the 360, atleast they have platforming and paths that open as you get powerups which is fun to figure out. The whole last level (called Eggman land or something - best part of the game!!) is missing from the Wii version as well as Mazuri world. Animations are straight out of PS2 game from 2003.

You can find it more fun which is cool...but for someone that is indifferent if a game uses motion controls or regular controller (aka me), the ps360 is head and sholders above the Wii version.

False!

Mazuri is missing, Eggmanland isn't

Also, i find it hard to believe that this guy is for real, if mostly for his harsh anti-Wii stance. Unless SEGA is a gang of drooling idiots, they can look at the sales numbers for Sonic and the Secret Rings, and the numbers for Sonic Unleashed, and figure out that one number is higher than the other numbers combined (i think, not sure if PS2 sales might put Unleashed over the top)

 

Either way, SEGA should have learned by now that the Wii will save them. Which isn't to say that they should ignore other platforms, but they should put their best foot forward on the Wii. The success story of Secret Rings should be more than enough to convince them

EDIT: Ahh, sorry. I didn't realize that somebody else had called out the "Empire City, not Eggmanland" thing.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Wii owners should rejoice actually, I'm not sure if this counts for much, but Sonic Team sucks, and I mean sucks badly, and not the kind of bad where you find out you have staff infection, I mean he kind of bad where you find out that all the baby seals in the world have staff infection. Sonic Team is the worst possible developer I've seen in a while, and Crystal Dynaimics is up there with them, but at least they do what they do well enough, Sonic Team is just vapor compared to the guys who put Ninja Bread Man together, they suck worse than any group of words I can put together can describe, they suck both in services exchanged and products retailed.

Dimps seems to have a good track record though, so regardless of this article being true, at least you know, you have the best version on your platform... I don't envy anyone who plays a game made by Sonic Team... including myself.

Sonic Team died to me in 2002 and any mention of them now is post mortem.



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

The Official Huge Monster Hunter Thread: 



The Hunt Begins 4/20/2010 =D

Ive gotten a question for disloitude and everyone else arguinh.

Why the fuck are you arguing over such a piece of shit game? No matter what anyone says the game sucked on ALL CONSOLES.

disolitude stop trolling it wasnt better on 360 its sucked just as damn hard.



@Valkyria

It did suck, I just don't like Sonic Team, they've been as dead to me as Ubisoft for years now. Nothing personal just don't think they should be making games; or at least stop calling them games; find a new word for whatever they make.

=P Also thats how opinions work, rule 101 of a forum, people share their stances, and sometimes they have no real foundation outside of an ancedote.

If you think sonic unleashed on the ps360 is only a pretty face while everything else is crap you are mistaking. Visuals is one of many aspects where its better. Gameplay is ebtter on the 360 too...

Wii owners tend to hide behind the whole "its more fun so its superior" argument.  That applies in some cases as motion controls kick ass where they fit in properly. But in Sonic dude? Sonic level dont call for any motion controlls what so ever. They are unecessary and frustrating. I dont want to shake my hand every time I need to do a dash attack...I want to run fast. This is the whole appeal of sonic...marvel the eye and challenge the reflexes.

Werehog levels do have the motion controls appeal, but since they are the dogshit aspect of the game to begin with, I dont' see how upgrading from dogshit to catpiss makes the game superior. Ofcourse you run in to the same problem as No more Heroes or most other 3D games...you can't control the camera due to lack of 2 analog sticks on the wii... But being able to punch > lack of camera control in my opinion.

Everyone knows that Sonic levels are the best part of the game and they play better on the 360 because of the one button to jump, one button to spin dash/speed up, 1 button to slide and L and R to hop left or right. The insane Sonic running speeds I get on the xbox 360 version could not be achieved on the wii ever...you cant shake your hand as fast as you can hold B button. Wii version only gives you limited boost as well...while on the 360 version I can hold the boost button throughout the entire level. So gameplay is better on xbox 360 too.

As much as everyone thinks my posts are trolling and worthless here... You have taken the title of the most worthless post on this topic.

I liked the game, on the Wii and 360.

If you don't like the game or don't understand why people are posting about it, do everyone a favour and butt out and don't share your worthless opinion.

 



Meh, a random person over the internet is nothing to get all excited over.



I would be happy if they could degrade the wii sonic games to 2D. I'll gladly let PS360 have all the 3D sonic they want
