Forums - Nintendo - Madworld not selling confirmed

the wii doesn't cater to all the true gamers only some who will remain loyal to the nintendo brand. But still MadWorld seems like it will do well in sales. Just give it some time. Lots of time haha!

You guys just chose to interpret it that way because it's the only way for you guys to have a point. You can't just ever say "Yeah those had some great games"
instead you say "HHHahA noOb liKes Bible adventures"

I know I said every single game but it's just emphasis. You guys are way too clinical in your approach to conversations.
If you took the games in that list and equated them to what they were back in the day, then whoever had those games would dominate the market now. No system has a lineup like that.

My original point was that everyone keeps trying to tell me how wii is so much better than anything else, but from what I see and feel there are only 3 or 4 games that even begin to compare to that list.



It's true that every popular console has had tons of crap games, but the Wii just has more than ever seen before because of the blue ocean. It's easy to sell cheap crap to people who have no idea what they are really buying. But just because a game is aimed at the blue ocean, that doesn't make it bad.

@BTFeather55, Nintendo doesn't have to ponder what games they should bring to the system. They have ton of IPs that they still haven't released. F-Zero is the main one I am waiting for but the list goes on. I'll let someone else spew the list out or perhaps you can think of some also.

 

      Yeah, but would you put out a hardcore futuristic racer on a system where games like Wii Play, Wii Fit, and Wii Sports are the kind of games that overwhelmingly attract the most amount of sales?  It's true that Mario Kart Wii (largely due to the cute characters) and  Super Smash Brother Brawl ( similarly but much less so, even though a superior game to Mario Kart Wii, its sales have been closer to those of Mario Galaxy ie. high but nothing earth shattering in comparison to the Wii's big 4 -- and when was the last time you saw Galaxy and Brawl getting Top 10 sales in any region?).

When was the last time you saw them out of the top 50 in any region? As far as I know, the only HD game that behaves like Galaxy and Brawl is Halo 3 so every other HD game fails by your standards.

BTFeather doesn't understand the need of product diversification.

Just because one type of game is outselling the rest doesn't mean that you should only create that type of game. It spreads risk out in case you suddenly don't profit from those games in the future.

wait wait wait so we're supposed to believe the word of 1 gamestop employee over vgchartz numbers that come from probably hundreds if not thousands of stores. Give me a break.

       It still doesn't answer the question of when you saw Galaxy and Brawl selling as much as Wii Fit or Wii Play.  You would think the best games on the system well sell as well as a couple of titles that are generally considered to be average at best.  New Super Mario Brothers on DS has sold 18 million copies but Galaxy only has managed 7.9 million?

     Yeah, but if you made a lot of platformers with cute characters and they have sold pretty well, then you try to branch out into a new genre with a lot of violence and blood and pulp crime novel devices in it and it sells terribly, then you're more inclined to only make platformers in the aftermath.

I would just like to point out that Wii hasn't even sold 50m, while the DS is going to pass 100m next week. Also, New Super Mario Bros has been bundled before. So the two numbers you put up look fine to me.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

@nordlead: And you could add that it's not uncommon to have two copies of the game in the same household which is something that is very rare for a console game.
