No, but you won't see FPSs on the wii made with that much love an care. The wii will get toned down ports and gimmick shooters.

Oh yes it proved itself time and time again. Just look at all those core games sitting at the 1million mark that are not 1st party titles. You are right the wii is the console with tons of core games surpassing the 1 million mark. How could i be so blind?

First off, a game doesn't have to pass the million mark to be a successful game, that notion in and of itself is ridiculous - Because you are now clearly stating that Castlevania as a series has never been successful.
Second off, Guitar Hero III, Guitar Hero 4, Lego Star Wars, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, Rock Band, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, Lego Indiana Jones, Red Steel, Shaun White
Regardless of whether you like these games or not, they are third-party, they are aimed towards the core market, and they did sell over a million, with many more crawling towards the one million mark.
When third-partys make something good on Wii, it, in most cases, sells. When they don't, guess what? In most cases, it will NOT sell. Sega seem to be the only third-party right now who have understood this.
While we're still at the "million-seller games are the only successful ones", let me point out that Lost Odyssey must be a miserable failure then. Right? Or does it only apply to the Wii?

Someone from HVS did comment to that effect in reponse to an e-mail - in jest. It's in an old thread I'm too lazy to look up. Obviously their not really expecting those kind of sales. |
It's also trolling, Esa likes to do that a lot, maybe if we ignore him enough he'll go away since he's not permabanned yet.
OT: I don't think the Wii's core titles only rests on Mad World and The Conduit, there's always Nintendo, and third parties have been making core titles from the start and they get good sales, but when you invest so much money into a title for the HD consoles you have to hype it more then the Wii versions because the Wii sales will be there and be slow burners like CoD: W@W while the other consoles are usually heavily front loaded so they need to make their money back ASAP to make a profit, so while you have over hyped and over imaged core titles and consoles on PS3/360, you have underhyped with little core image on Wii but doesn't mean the core titles aren't there and aren't fun.

That much love and care? Have you played it?
| ferret1094 said: I'm going to need convincing to get either. Madworld looks fun but I think I'd find the gameplay far too samey after an hour or so. Maybe I'll get it when it's £10. The Conduit doesn't look that amazing. There are stackloads of PS2 FPSs available for £5 or less which are probably better games. |
Like what?
starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS
I have pre-ordered MadWorld. Will be getting it on Tuesday. :D
as crazy as this sounds.. sega seems to be pretty much the second most sought after publisher on the wii after nintendo.. crazy eh?

5 THINGS I'd like to see before i knock out:
a. a AAA 3D sonic title
b. a nintendo developed game that has a "M rating"
c. redesgined PS controller
d. SEGA back in the console business
e. M$ out of the OS business
Your forgetting the many other tests like SW wii, Cod Waw, de Blob and HOTD OK. Thus far it looks like shooters, less graphically impressive games, new ip and established brands can sell better on the Wii.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
