Forums - Nintendo - Mark Rein continues to anger Nintendo fanboys

http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=90552

 

Some choice quotes:

“(on third parties making core games for Wii) And they've been huge financial flops... It's just not where the market is. Look at EA. Do you see the same Madden game on Wii? Of course not – it's a dumbed down game.”

Rein continued by noting that some of these Wii games are “good cautionary tales” in terms of what the publishers attempted to do and how the market received the titles. “There are some good publishers out there that make some great triple-A games that make hundreds of millions of dollars, and I'm not going to name them, but then at the end of the year when they look at earnings, they lose money! Or they make only tens of millions of profit on billions in revenue. It just shows you what happens when you think, 'Oh great, they're diversifying, they're stretching outside their comfort zone,' and now they're making less money,” he said.

Ignorance must be bliss, huh? So he not only assumes that the core wii games have been financial flops, he seems to extrapolate them to the reason why the big publishers aren't making as much profits (or incurring losses)

Well its no secret that epic games doesnt like the wii (same with infinity ward)



 

mM

I'm sure most owners would be mad at him, not just the fanboys.



this guy just keeps popping out of nowhere does epic have a new game coming out?



Trying to imply the lost profit or reduced profit is the fault of the Wii? Clearly he didn't pay attention to the fact that the biggest Wii supporters, Activision and Ubisoft, are making money.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

leo, I've asked you before and you ingored it so I'm asking again.

 

Can you show me proof that IW hates Wii?

 

I've looked and can't find anything on it and the guys I personally know at IW love the Wii.



The rEVOLution is not being televised

Oh, and last I checked, Wii flops are rare, and when they happen they just lose money. The huge financial flops have been HD games (Lair, Haze, Too Human). So Rein loses my respect for either not checking his facts or outright lying.

Wii flops lose money.
HD flops shut down entire developers.

Rein's just a talking head. I don't know why anyone pays him any mind.



No Gears of War port on the Wii then?
