If you guys destory the good looking games on Xbox 360 and PS 3 people will be very pissed.

from my stand point as a consumer looking at the gaming market. it is obvious Wii games are selling like hot cakes compares to most xbox 360 games and ps 3 games. So what i belive the game developers will look at the sell data in their meetings when deciding which next game to make and say to themselves. "it is clear wii games sell so that's a no brainer that we should make our next game on the wii console."

now if that's the mind set of most 3rd partydevelopers, then who the hell si goign to continue making top games for the xbox 360 and the ps3? why spend all those millions of dollars making some amazing looking games when you can make a simple game on the wii and makes way more money off of it. I know not all the developers will think that way especially 1st party developers that...of course...will keep making games for its own console, but i am sure a lot of 3rd party developers looking at the current sales data and is ready to make their next new game will jump on the wii wagon.

Nintendo, i don't know if you see this coming, but i hope you guys do something soon, you guys are the one that created this gaming market and now you're looking to destory a lot of gamers, we want to continue enjoying new and better looking games every few month, and you are making this harder for us.

probably because if they could make a game that sells twice as well for easily half if not less of the development cost, they will move in that direction instead

Pretty sure 360 games sell better and that 360 has the best attach rate for games, but I'm not sure on that.

baseless means i have no points. i clearly made them, cheaper to make the games, sell like hot cakes. seems perfectly obvious why someone would move that way. they clearly stated in articles that have been posted many times that a lot of the third parties are moving to the wii. remember gaming is not what it once was. it used to be a passion, now its a business.

There will always be a demand for high end graphics such as those delivered by Halo and other such franchises. As long as this demand exists, it will be filled. Sure, the market may swing a bit towards the mainstream, and developers may begin kicking out lower quality (graphically) games, but that hole will be plugged quickly if it ever shows up.

look I don't know what the hell your trying to tell me, all I'm just saying is that rubbish movie tie in games like cars and pimp my ride or whatever usually sell more copies then all the good hardcore games. Why haven't developers stopped making hardcore games, when the hardcore games most of the time get outsold by something cars.

Since when are Bratz and Cars selling better than Halo :? or any other hardcore games for that matter. If you hadn't noticed the best selling games each generation are either 'hardcore' games or games that appeal to everyone.

ok, if you are someone who makes cakes for a living, meanwhile someone who produces plastic containers makes way more than you, are you going to jump into that even though you are good at baking? you cant just jump from money wagon to money wagon products.

Yes, any second now Bungie is going to drop everything their doing and make HaloWare, a minigame collection based on the Halo series that they were about to finish, but didn't because minigames sell better.

Exactly.

i keep up with gaming news, so yeah it is not baseless. you only say it's baseless cuz you're not up to date on the gaming news. before you say i am baseless, go read game sales data, and prove me wrong that my concern isn't a valid one.

you get hardcore games that appeal to everyone. And I never said Bratz and Cars outsell Halo. But look at the sale charts. The majority of the games in the top ten are mostly movie tie ins and casual games. Most of the market is flooded with these kind of games rather than hardcore games. But develoers still make hardcore games for the hardcore gamer.

You are painfully wrong. First off, the whole idea that "the Wii is destroying gaming" is wrong. The main reason for all the minigame based games is they are easy to make and work well with the Wiimote. No one expected the Wii to sell this well, and it takes time for developers to make games. This time next year we're going to be seeing more "hardcore" games on the Wii from 3rd party developers, not just Nintendo. Second the whole idea that developers like Valve, ID, Bungie, Blizzard, Bioware, Irrational etc. are all going give up their reputations and start developing dime-a-dozen bland, mindless games is incomprehensible.

TEH DOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!

honestly i don't know how you guys keep getting this crap on and on and on and on... these games are FUN, these games are UNIQUE and THAT'S why they sell, is there quick cash in titles for Wii? yes, but how many exactly, pokemon and MP8? and? what else has nintendo or any other 3rd party dev put a quick cash in and ACTUALLY got high sales from? red steel? rayman? those games aren't great but they are NOT quick cash in projects and that's for sure.

people need to see this.. you act as if sony and MS don't have ANY quick cash in titles, which is kinda ironic.

Look, as long as there are hardcore gamers, there will be hardcore games. Developers aren't stupid you know. If there's a way for them to make money, they will do it. So don't worry about hardcore games fading out of existence, because it will never happen.

And why do you care so much if a movie tie-in game sells better than a game you like? It's not like it's hurting you in any way.

so, if they make way more money off a somewhat hardcore game on the wii, would that not be better for profits since they dont have the high development costs, and a high install base?

Gzus666

The change between producing your metaphorical cakes and plastic containers is a much larger shift than going from a higher quality game to a lower one. Hell, corporations would be overqualified now for that sort of stuff. They could pump out a decent crappy (yes, I did just say that) game much faster than the competition due to the level of experience and resources at play.

you get hardcore games that appeal to everyone. And I never said Bratz and Cars outsell Halo. But look at the sale charts. The majority of the games in the top ten are mostly movie tie ins and casual games. Most of the market is flooded with these kind of games rather than hardcore games. But developers still make hardcore games for the hardcore gamer.

monkeysrfat

Er.. for starters, I'm not even sure if your statistics are correct. I don't stay as up to date on the actual sales numbers as I should, but I don't ever recall seeing a movie game in a top ten sales chart. Secondly, you have to look at the profit companies are reaping from these games. Bratz, which sells for twenty bucks a copy, is still only pulling in a lesser profit ratio than games such as Halo.

i wouldnt say the sims is crap, it scores high on almost every review, and its a reasonably fun game. ive been gaming since i was 7, im 24 now. i played plenty of games like sim coaster, sim theme park, normality, and other silly games of that nature, they were fun. as long as the game is well made, it can still sell well. he meant badly licensed games, which dont sell like the sims, sims is not a licensed game.

[QUOTE="Grasshopper_12"]Look, as long as there are hardcore gamers, there will be hardcore games. Developers aren't stupid you know. If there's a way for them to make money, they will do it. So don't worry about hardcore games fading out of existence, because it will never happen.
Gzus666

so, if they make way more money off a somewhat hardcore game on the wii, would that not be better for profits since they dont have the high development costs, and a high install base?

Yes it would. What's your point?

You are painfully wrong. First off, the whole idea that "the Wii is destroying gaming" is wrong. The main reason for all the minigame based games is they are easy to make and work well with the Wiimote. No one expected the Wii to sell this well, and it takes time for developers to make games. This time next year we're going to be seeing more "hardcore" games on the Wii from 3rd party developers, not just Nintendo. Second the whole idea that developers like Valve, ID, Bungie, Blizzard, Bioware, Irrational etc. are all going give up their reputations and start developing dime-a-dozen bland, mindless games is incomprehensible.PBSnipes

i am talking about good looking games that most gamers like. games taht takes a lot of development time and looks very good, games like gears of war, halo 3, heavenly sword, uncharted, mass effect, MGS 4 etc. Wii games can never look that good. and since a lot of 3rd party developers goes to wii, there wont' be as much 3rd party developers to make those amazing looking games for the gamers that want them. lets face is peole like good graphics.....that's why u upgrade your graphics card on your pc. that's why you buy a ps2 and not a ps1 or a 360 instead of a xbox.

[QUOTE="Hir0_N"]Not again. You damn ignorants should just stop crying. Nintendo is winning yes, but why do you think games like Halo, ME, bioshock wont exist?Gzus666

probably because if they could make a game that sells twice as well for easily half if not less of the development cost, they will move in that direction instead

Man this is getting so old.

valid concerns get old to you? its pretty clear you are a nintendo freak.

Valid concerns? Your concerns aren't valid at all. developers will never, EVER stop making big, epic games...ever. There will always be a huge market of players who want that kind of experience, and as long as those gamers exist, there will be games to fill that void. Big, epic games with great story telling and amazing visuals...those will always, always exist. Developers like bioware, monolith soft, square enix, RARE, Silicon Knights, Bungie, and even nintendo aren't going to stop making hardcore games. Your concerns arent valid because acording to your "concerns"...final fantasy, metroid, zelda, too human, halo, banjo kazooie, xenosaga, mass effect, and oblivion...among other hardcore games, are going to be replaced with nothing but small, simple games...and if you think that then nothing you say...ABSOLUTELY NOTHING...is valid.

Wii games will not ruin the industry. Why are developers still making 'hardcore' games when stuff like Bratz and Cars are selling a lot better?

Gzus666

Since when are Bratz and Cars selling better than Halo :?

well here people call it casual rubbish in general. I don't really see people hyping the Sims much.

that is a good point, i hope it is true. but still there probably wont be as many good looking games. there will still be some, but not as many. lets hope wii 2 comes out soon. HDTVs are selling fast and install base are growing extremely fast since those tv prices are comign down every one or two month by hundreds of dollars.

actually i didnt say they wouldnt make the games, i just said they would use the wii as the platform. and since its not even close to as powerful, the games will suffer in physics, graphics, AI, etc.

probably the same reason you dont jump in and start owning a multi million dollar company, cause you cant.

That made absolutely no sense. :|

ok, if you are someone who makes cakes for a living, meanwhile someone who produces plastic containers makes way more than you, are you going to jump into that even though you are good at baking? you cant just jump from money wagon to money wagon products.

How can you make an analogy comparing people who make plastic containers and cakes with game developers? :| And of course you can jump from money wagon to money wagon.... it's called a contract.

So, it's wrong for a developer that wants to make an epic hardcore game on the wii just because the wii is under power with the CPU and GPU??? :|

Wow. I think you're a little to obsessed with graphics there, friend. I'd rather play a game with good gameplay, rather than good graphics. And I don't think the PS3 and the 360 are out of the running yet, so don't worry about your game's graphics just yet.

i would prefer both. the wii doesnt offer both. its not just the graphics. dont physics and AI help gameplay? do you like dumb enemies and things that dont move realistically? its a whole package that helps gaming move to the next level, not just graphics.

They will still be great games though. I think I'm starting to see where you're coming from now. I would'nt worry so much about it yet though.

This generation of gaming has only just begun. I think the Wii's momentum will slow down soon enough. I think (mostly hope) this generation's consoles will be very close in sales and games. Look at the SNES/Genesis era. That gen had the best games, I think it's because the sales and competition were so close.

hello, McFly? physics, AI and graphics help make a game epic. crappy physics and AI ruin games now, cause the bar has already been set. if you want games without physics and AI, be my guest. i like those in my games. im also a graphics whore, hence the PC

Sorry, I didn't read your post before I responded. I agree with you. Read my slightly earlier post. I'm slow at typing :P
