lets pray capcom doesnt stop putting hardcore games on wii like sega D=

“As for Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, in absolute figures are not too bad, but it’s not going to lie, they are below what we hoped. After three weeks (the interview was conducted December 23, editor’s note), we are a total of 16,000 units sold. One feels that there is a problem very clear on this style of game on the Wii, where gamers are obviously moved on. There are two more years, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles had yet had a very very big success on Wii. Here we can see, the customer of this console has turned to something much broader audience. It is a disappointment.”

Yup, rail shooters don't sell on the wii anymore confirmed.

Its called oversaturation. There are only so many on-rails games that people want. Between, HOTD 2/3, RE:UC, HOTD Overkill, MOH2 (had an on rails mode) and Dead Space Extraction, Wii owners likely have had their fill. Maybe it shoots a message to capcom to deliver a proper RE game to the Wii fans. After all, RE4 was really good. Its much harder to milk a genre like on-rails shooters. Much easier to milk action adventure games.

Well, back when the original RE: UC was released, there wasn't as much competition as there is now. RE4 Wii had even less competition back when it was released. I bet if they'd released RE5 on Wii ala RE4, it'd have been a major success.

Ah well.

Will Nintendo ever be und00med?

hehe, enough with rail-shooters.

Wii is such an interesting console :) Everybody tries to figure it out. Suddenly someone has a success with something, and everybody tries to copy it. Later they realize it's not that easy.

Wouldn't a game with the quality of "New Super Mario Bros Wii" or "Mario Kart Wii" had been successful no matter who developed/published it?

“This is the year of the emergence of so-called new console generation. It feels a position clear of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in the market. This does not necessarily feel in the figures, because the Wii is still an important part of sales, but growth is on both platforms. The DS is declining, for reasons various and varied as market saturation and piracy. For these same reasons, the PSP is dying. The Wii console is very much a family commitment rates relatively low. So for us, Capcom, the future is the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.”

w00t!  i used to be a big wii supporter but i've moved on.  give me more HD twins support with a sprinkel of natal/sony motion support.

they're basically saying:
PS360 will win in 2010

Enough with on-rail games.

They should have figured this would happen the game was announced. After buying RE4 Wii and RE:UC, a lot of Wii owners were pissed off at getting another rail shooter instead of a full fledged RE title. I know I lost all interest in Darkside Chronicles once it was revealed to be a rail shooter.
