I want to make a safe assumtion about House of the Dead : Overkill; if 500,000 seem "encouraging" on a HD platform, that means an undeniably cheaper Wii game would require ~300,000, right?

@bbsin

PS3 is a HD platform right? Porting to the other twin can't add too much extra cost. Therefore, a Wii game that costs at least half that cost should require half the sales.

The architecture of the 360 and PS3 have been regarded as "very different" by many devs already. It's common knowledge that it's not simple or cheap to port titles inbetween the PS3/360. Anyways, that's beside the point, I was simply pointing out that Yakuza 3 sold 500,000 on ONE hd platform, not more.

As for your theory... I don't quite get it. Are you trying to say that Wii owners (aswell as devs) would spend their resources on low end ports of "HD" platform games for profit rather than make very profitable unique titles such as No More Heros and Madworld?

I don't think it's as clean cut as you believe sir, there's just too many variables. But on the other hand, if you're trying to say that Wii games are cheaper to develop and require less sales to profit than HD consoles, then I do agree with you.

Sega is full of win on all platforms:

- Valkyria Chronicles

- Empire Total War

- Yakuza 3

- Madworld, Conduit, something else on Wii

- Alien Colonial Marine

- Bayonetta

- Alpha Protocol

- End of Eternity

In the end i might buy more sega games this year than from any other developer :D
