The reason why core Wii games fail to sell is because as soon as a Wii game sells well its labelled casual and discarded.

Nope, it's because blue ocean gamers know nothing about core gamers.  Can't wait to get half of your vgchartz dollars following the PS3 hitting 5 million in Japan following the release of FF Versus XIII.  ;)

Bioshock and Mirror's Edge on PS3; PS3 can't sell core games confirmed.

The developers may be content with sales of 500k but it's obvious they were /expecting/hoping they would be significantly higher. I still can't figure out how some of these games sell so poorly. The have now sold over 50 million consoles. That means for a game to sell 500k they are only being bought by 1% of the Wii market. Those numbers are terrible.

Yeah, well close to 3 million copies of Uncharted, and over a million copies of The Crackdown and Saint's Row One on 360, (and some others, I don't feel like posting stats all night, so you can go look at the list of top selling games on both 360 and PS3 (Another that immediately pops to mind though is Resistance 2 selling more than Metroid Prime 3), say, "Hi."

And Bioshock sold much better on 360 than any fps game on the Wii (a console with 20 million more sales than the 360), so that also says, "Hi."

And I want you to say "Bye", because I'm tired of your inceasant trolling with alt accounts.

Like I already told you, troll with dignity, use your main account (Paul_Warren) and get permabanned there.

@trestres,

man, why are you always trolling my threads? Security, I have a stalker.

I reiterate, THIS IS A TROLL THREAD

I wouldn't if you trolled with your main account.

It would help that he mentioned Platinum games only game on the Wii AKA MadWorld, which Okami on Wii was a port done by Capcom after they had closed down Hideki Kamiyas studio Clover. So sales of Okami on Wii in no direct way affected Platinum games and Hideki Kamiya probably wasn't even compensated.

Number two if you'd just fact check your posts like I mentioned the posts you made in one of the other threads you'd know Hideki Kamiya had nothing to do with designing MadWorld that was the designer behind God Hand that made MadWorld, which if MadWorld hasn't already outsold God Hand it's well on it's way.

Fact check man

MadWorld - Atsushi Inaba not by Hideki Kamiya

Okami (Wii) - Capcom not Hideki Kamiya

Viewtiful Joe - Sold better on GC then PS2 (as far as I can tell I can't find the final sales data)

And I'm certain Bayonetta will sell wonderfully like his other pride and joy Devil May Cry even though he no longer works on the series, but it's obvious Bayonetta is his spiritual sequel to Devil May Cry.
