So guess they will develop genertic FPS number 78 for PS360 so they can aim for these so called "hardcore" gamers age 14-25.

 

Or they could work on fitness title number 56 for the Wii...

PS : Might seem harsh but you looked at the top selling Wii titles recently or heard the latest Ubisoft announcement to make another Wii Fitness title ?



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Marvelous work on niche traditional games on Wii and make money off them.  If they did the same for ps360 they would lose money.

viva pinata 1 was bundled. viva pinata 2 bombed. The DS version was profitable however, lol. Do u think 360 will get a 3rd one?

disgaea 3 bombed as well, do u think ps3 will get a 2nd one?

Kameo is a good example though.  Also Little Big Planet did well.  Both 1st party games, don't know if that is a coincidence.  But there are so few that it's a risk for producers to make creative games on HD consoles.

Regardless, the money still went to Rare to make more games.

 

And Disgaea 3 did not bomb at all. It sold right on par with the PS2 and I fully expect Disgaea 4 to be on PS3.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
