This thread went downhill fast after I joined. You guys can bitch about the shitty Wii, I don't care. I will go play a real system: The GameCube.

Actually Madworld and No More Heroes have a lot in common,but Madworld is really too short!

Sega million sellers by platform this gen...

DS: 3

Wii: 5

360: 1 (via hardware bundling)

PS3: 0

PSP: 0

@ maykissthebride:

True, very true. I mean, people get all worked up over how a game like Modern Warfare 2 sells amazingly well on the HD consoles and how badly Modern Warfare does on Wii.

Well, guess what, Modern Warfare 2 would have sold like shit too if it had been a 2-year old port that was announced like a month before it came out and received zero hype and no advertising in any form whatsoever.

And this example is about COD, which actually sells pretty decent on Wii.

Come on 3rd parties, but in some effort and money. No wait, scrap that, put in A LOT of effort and money. :p I mean, come on! Come ON!

Yes, the controls were fine. Nowdays FPS works pretty well on the wii.

But World at War is a lame game in any system. BUT in the HD systems it has HD graphics, which are the only redeeming point of the game. Which by the way got a lot of people into buying the game, even if they were sick and tired of WWII

The game is pretty boring, and on wii it lost its only decent feature. And get nothing in exchange.

You're right, and to be honnest graphics were rather good at the time I was playing it, of course now if I play it again I would say it's crap due to the others FPS that comes.But yeah the controls were great, the best accuracy,I'm not a big PC player but I could say the accuracy on Wii is at least equal or better than on PC

"But when the Wii does get a "large" third party game, while it does sell very well, it doesn't match the sales of the HD versions."

World At War on the Wii did not follow 4, which made the series the smash hit it is now. The Wii had a two year gap between CoD games. This is relevant because you are implying the Wii audience did this, when there are factors that would have made the game sell less on the other systems had those been duplicated.

yeah, i feel both have a lot in common too.

And i like both of em.

But publishers cant expect em to sell buckets of copies, because they are desined for a small public

Let's leave the DS out of this. It gets a TON of third party support.

Wii SEGA million sellers:

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games: Well, this has Mario, so that's kind of cheating. Make a 360 game with Master Chief, or a PS3 game with...Crash Bandicoot, and we'll talk.

Sonic and the Secret Rings & Sonic Unleashed: Weren't both considered to be quite lackluster?

Super Monkey Ball and House of the Dead: Valid. Both rather large series, to be sure.

Most of SEGA's games on the HD consoles are niche. They have one Sonic game, and a terrible one at that. The Wii can sell Sonic games, that's for sure.

True.

However, MWR followed WaW, and so did MW2, and we know how that ended up.

Not exactly a fair comparison, but you can see what I'm getting at.
