Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Do 3rd parties have a right to complain about sales?

They shouldn't complain. They should change their output to make them money. That's what they are doing, it looks.

Haze.

Metacritic score - 55
Sales - 810k


The Conduit.

Metacritic Score - 69
Sales - 380k

Metacritic score doesn't have all that much to do with sales, an any console.

There are couple things about this Iwould prefer not to get into for the 8th time, but at least the company who made the latter title is still around.......

You don't have to get into anything.

"So when 3rd parties complain that their game didnt reach a great number on the sales chart,  maybe its because that game didnt reach a great number on the Metacritic chart either"

I proved it wrong. That is all.

People, don't respond to that. It's just to start an argument.

I was going to, but then I saw who posted it, so I'm not touching it with a 10 foot pole.



They can be disappointed, but the manner in which they complain is utterly unprofessional. Honestly, games are the responsibility of the publisher, not the manufacturer of the platform that the game appears on. When PC games sell poorly, publishers blame the audience, not Microsoft. When games sell poorly on the Wii, they blame Nintendo. It is really illogical if not childish all together. Clearly there is a lot of industry envy in regards to the fact that Nintendo does so well on their own platforms.

Rather than third parrties being pleased with what they manage, they get upset that they don't do as well as Nintendo. They look for excuses and blame the fans and blame the console manufacurer rather than blaming themselves. Nintendo has nothing to do with a third party game not performing. They can scale back offerings, they can assert their disappointment, but all of this mudslinging is just pathetic.



Its there fault for making bad predictions.



Odd. Future. Wolf. Gang. Kill. Em. All. OFWGKTA Don't give a fuck!

Fuck Steve Harvey. FREE EARL!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be the GREATEST game EVER made!!!

I'd take a bullet for Square-Enix!

yes they do.



Just Dance. http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/wii/justdance?q=Just%20Dance

Such a great quality title. it must have nintendo like quality, thats the reason it sells like hotcakes.

Accept the fact that the big publishers are making the games on the WII targeting the expanded audience and move on.

With that Im Out.



The user-submitted reviews for Just Dance are actually quite favorable.



^ Irrelevent to the topic.
sure third parties can complain, but blaming on nintendo and the audience is... well... dumb.

edit: Honey's point was irrelevent...

Even then...

Would you rather Ubisoft give you Just Dance 2, or would you rather Ubisoft give you Assassin's Creed 2?
