Forums - Nintendo - Ghostbusters Wii direct feed gameplay

I don't really think The Ghostbusters game is going to be a console seller. The game is barely hyped. It's hyped here and there, but not really. And since Sony is publishing it, no one's going to hear about the game. This may have messed up their chances.

Since I don't believe anyone in this thread has made the claim that Ghostbusters would be a "console seller" I can only assume you made this whole post just to take a shot at Sony as a publisher.  Kind of pathetic really.



No, I have a PS3 as well. And I'm just saying Sony doesn't market their games very well. I barely saw a commercial for Resistance and the Killzone 2 commercial showed no gameplay. Nintendo and Sony are pretty bad at marketing their games. I mean just look how MS markets compared to Nintendo and Sony. They have commercials and ads placed all over the place. I am no fanboy of any consoles. I just play video games, I don't look at graphics etc. If a game is good it's good. If a console has things I like, it's a good console. I have both a Wii and a PS3.

Yeah, Nintendo is bad at marketing games... Compare the first party games salewise of Nintendo and Microsoft.

How much did wii fit sell? 17M? How much did Mario kart wii sell? 15m?

What's the best selling game of Microsoft? Halo?
Nintendo was dissapointed with the sales of zelda and super mario galaxy and they almost sold as much. Tells you something about marketing, doesn't it :)

Nintendo bad at marketing? There is a reason that have the highest selling games.They research where demographics for the games and bum rush the living **** out it.They won award for it .

But let's look at the non-casual market. Sales of those games compared to MS and Sony are horrible. Close to none of those games hit a million. Some of them didn't even touch half a million. The only games that do sell are the ones that contain the word "Wii" in it. Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Wii Music, etc.

Clearly they have trouble marketing to the REAL gaming market.

Not to go off topic on my own thread but:

Mario Kart - http://vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=6968&region=All

Super Smash Bros Brawl - http://vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=6962&region=All

Mario Galaxy - http://vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=6963&region=All

Zelda Twilight Princess - http://vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=4573&region=All

Metroid Prime 3 - http://vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=6969&region=All

 

They know how to market their games, Metroid Prime 3 could have been marketed better but that's the only one that didn't really hit the spot, but as previously stated, Nintendo knows where the demographics are and markets to them, Metroids fans are all over the net and that's where the marketing went, issue is interenet ads are iffy.

OT: I've got both HD and Wii versions of this game paid off and ready for pick up day one :D
