But wouldn't they have been directing that so-called pretentiousness to anti-Wii trolls (you know, the ones with the Wii-is-a-kiddy-toy mentality)?  Why would you want it to flop because of that?

 

The problem is that the people who say things like that (the Wii is a toy, has no games, is kiddy, etc.), well, I don't really respect them. I don't listen to what they say because I often know before even reading it that it's not worth it. When I do read it, it doesn't bother me nearly as much because I have such a low view on the person. Whereas in a case like this, I can actually put the person in a view of respect and get bothered by what they say.

 

But what case is this?  If they're responding to trolls, then your only criticism should be that they shouldn't have paid attention to them in the first place, not that they're currently adopting an attitude that causes you to ignor such people.

So I should be expecting everyone to have the same mentality as I do? I find it easy to ignore ridiculous trolls while not everyone else can. But I hate pretentiousness. Pretty simple really.

Well, when I asked you why it was a problem for Wii fans to respond to trolls, you said that you simply ignored trolls, which implied to me that that's what you were criticising about this thread, which isn't the pretentiousness your condemning, which also means you do expect them to have the same attitude as you.

you know what's funny, Haze a game hailed as an epic failure sold 154k in one week, while we are celebrating 170k after 4 weeks. wow!

I think we can safely say that there was a good bit of a difference in the budgets of Madworld and Haze.

 

 

My point still stands, Lets wait for 500k, 700k, 1 million. There's really nothing to celabrate right now. And, that game got tons of marketing.

 

The point of this thread was to say "Hey, look, now the game has legs so you guys shouldn't have started call it a flop yet since you can't judge Wii game sales after the first week." not "HOLY **** THIS GAME IS SELLING AMAZING HELL YES TAKE THAT TROLLS!"

Okay, but why do people call legs after a couple weeks? What if it were to suddenly drop off and have sub-1k sales? Not that that's likely to happen, but I think people have forgotten what "legs" were supposed to be.

Appolose: You're really overthinking it.

Well, you fail badly. The game is not selling amazingly well. You are just hoping it get some legs.

I would have done this thread for another game however, The Gta DS  game.

So, where did I go wrong?

I can see soriku's point. He is probably overjoyed, as things are slightly looking up for this Wii core game that lots of people had high hopes for. I don't think he is meaning to come across as saying "i told you so", but just happy sales now don't look quite so bad and the title seeming like it might be developing some legs. Also because in many peoples' eyes it is a great game and may be getting somewhere near the sales they feel it deserves.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

So this worth a thread for wii owners.. I see, go on.



Xen on 15 April 2009

Lets see how it keeps up in the further weeks, this game had a massive price drop - seems to me that the effect of it was good.



psrock on 15 April 2009

Yes: baby legs.
