Even the Japanese don't want to shell out their hard-earned money on something as crappy as the Wii U. :lol:

I think it's like building a high-end apartment in a toxic wasteland. The ecosystem has already been damaged.

Everything that isn't Nintendo, Square Enix, otaku, or Monster Hunter bombs in Japan.

Its a Hack & Slash Game which as you expect from platinum games to have great gameplay, great visuals, quirky characters. So all Hack & Slash Games should be £10 / 15 ? Bayonetta, God of War, Ninja Gaiden, Devil May Cry ....

No, just the ones that looks like an Idie title, Wonderful 101. You see quality in a game such as Lord of Shadows 2, all you see in W101 is colors.

1. It made it on the list. 2. Niche titles on Nintendo platforms never sell gobs and gobs at once, they hold their ground over time. 3. If they make a profit, that's all that matters.

Hard to make a profit when you only ship 30 thousand units, and sell around 10 thousand units, that's horrible

Yet, people want new IP's from Nintendo, they don't buy them.

So having vibrant colors and a unique art direction equals it looking like a Indie Game ? Yup Bayonetta should be £10 on PSN and XBL. Grasping at straws as usual. I'm guessing you havent viewed much content on the game or know of such great developers like PG then as you go on about quality and that is the only thing that PG do. Yes all you see is colors, I'm not color blind and enjoy seeing the occasional bit of blue / Pink / purple rather than GREY.

Lord of Shadows? That is Castlevania if im correct. Thanks but i'd rather have quality of Metroidvania games.

No, but i sure as hell know, that 10 thousand units sold wouldn't even be close to make a profit

I think ppl want AA-AAA type new IPs (Uncharted, Infamous, LBP, TLOU etc..) not niche obscure titles like rhythm heaven, chibi robo, fossil fighters, steel diver etc.

According to his tweets, the game costs 1.5 times more to make than Bayonetta and that was Platinum's best selling (or one of their best-selling) titles. With sales like that, it sounds a little worrisome. :?
