Forums - Nintendo - Who think MadWorld would have sold better on other consoles?

I think Bionic Commando would have sold better on Wii...



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

Who admits that there are more Mature gamers on the HD consoles?

The answer to that is the reason why MadWorld would have better chances of selling better on the HD consoles. It can sell decent on the Wii but I am just saying.

As someone already mentioned earlier in the thread, that would be the reason why MadWorld could do even worse since there are more choices and MadWorld is not minstream.

If your reasoning is true, why Bionic Commando didn't have good first week sale on HD consoles?

I said chances... I didnt say it will. But I still think Mature games have a better chance of selling on PS360. Look at L4D a new IP. Look at Dead Space. All these brand new IPs had amazing opening weeks. I just wish Wii could have amazing sales of these quality third party games so more of them would come over. Though this year seems to prove me wrong.

I think that if it was released on either 360 or Ps3, it would have sold more than it is selling now. 

Well obviously it would have.

Wii + PS3 + 360 > Wii

I meant as in an exclusive on any of the HD consoles.

Nope. It would have sold the same or less on PS360.

Niche titles will have niche results.

Plus, without the controls the game is just not as fun, so it might have actually sold less.

Err, Ninja Gaiden2( a somewhat big sequel) failed to break a million copies sold, so maybe theres no set formula for success

MadWorld would have definitely sold better on the 360 or PS3, because on either system there isn't much of a choice when it comes to bloody action games. Owners of the HD consoles are starved for that kind of game, so they would even buy a short low budget title like MadWorld in huge numbers, simply due to the lack of alternatives on their machines.


I'll have 2 disagree with that.They have Ninja Gaiden 2(and 2 sigma),Devil May Cry and stuff like Heavenly Sword.Gears is also gory though its a shooter,not a hacker.But let's face it,it might have sold less on HD consoles.Nintendo gamers are usually more willing to try new stuff than HD gamers.  Not every HD gamer is a core gamer.Many of them are 'casuals' by my book.My definition of casual isn't girly or babish,because some babish games are hardcore,my definition of casual is the typical stereotype boy in my country.They don't LOVE games like I do.They play Soccer(for 90% of their game time),GTA,driving games,DMC & GOW and war games.

Well there you go that was the exact definition of casual before this gen.  Many PS2 owners only owned Pro Evolution and would buy it every single year when the new version was released.  Many of those folk have now graduated to the PS3 and do the same.  Buy Pro Evo 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and nothing else.  Or only GT1, GT2, GT3, GT4.  Or only GTA1, GTA2, GTA3, etc.  However, this gen the definition of casual changed.  It was changed by the HD fanboys who were looking for a way to put down the sales of Wii.  So GTA froma super casual game (which is why it sold so much - and mostly to teenage boys who wanted to feel cool) suddenly this gen became the definition of hard core since that game and other similar games were not going to be on Wii.  Now HD fanboys can say hardcore games don't sell on Wii despite the fact Zelda and Brawl are a million times more hardcore than Pro Evo, GTA, COD, etc.

The closest game in 360 or PS3 , Afro samurai, sold much worse, half than Madworld. And it costed more to make.I think Platinum and Sega know better than some biased journalists, after all wii does have quite a big mature oriented playerbase. Do you think is illogic that some adults might also like the idea of motion controls?i think not.this game sales prove it.
