Still shops keep pimping it with blu-ray bundles so some attraction is still there and now it´s just $299 and it does everything you know.gkrykewy said:

No it was before that, it may even have been before the format war was won, November-December 2007 or so, don´t have time to search now.Dash Kappei said:

Pointless post incoming...
Spyborgs - sold 500 :lol in 11 days, say 2k with the price collapse
Cursed Mountain - sold 2-3k in 8 days, say 5k
Dead Space -- sold 9k in 3 days, probably below 20k or so now
So under 30k combined probably.

RE5 Wii cancelled.Allan Holdsworth said:
In terms of overall ltd the wii has sold more 3rd party games than either the ps3 or 360 has, last time i checked in 2009 so far both the 360 and ps3 worldwide have sold more 3rd party software than the wii has.AdventureRacing said:
AdventureRacing said:
The wii overall has sold a lot of software but what i am saying is it should currently be selling more 3rd party software this year.
It changes everything if the 3rd party support for the wii gets worse. If less games get released (which is what is happening now), then less people will buy a wii in the first place and current owners will buy less games because fewer games are available, it's all pretty basic.AdventureRacing said:
Wii games generally do have the best legs but you seem to think that wii 3rd party sales are constant and come this time next year the amount of million selling 3rd party wii games will have increased the same amount as the year before. This is not likely to be the case, like i've already said so far this year ea sports active is the only new million selling 3rd party game released this year for the wii. Last year at this point in time the wii already had nine new million selling 3rd party games that had been released that year:
Guitar Hero: World Tour
Deca Sports
Rock Band
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures
Big Beach Sports
Rayman Raving Rabbids: TV Party
We Ski
The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return
When all is said and done 2009 will have less new 3rd party million sellers for the wii then 2008 did and 2010 looks like it will also have less then 2008.

Wii Dead Space doesn't surprise me in the slightest though. What does surprise me is that EA thought it was a good idea.Allan Holdsworth said:
Well, Umbrella Chronicles sold a lot, so the Wii must have a lot of hardcore users who also happen to have a PS3 or 360 and have loved the plot of Dead Space so they'd want to learn more about its backstory and also happen to love lightgun shooters so much that they'd pay $50 for one.Monty Mole said:
Flawless logic if you ask me.

I think that, perhaps, EA overestimated the public's desire for another light-gun game.

Well that and the Resident Evil franchise is just the slightest bit bigger than the Dead Space franchise in terms of established popularity.
I love Dead Space and its "world," and I love Extraction, but the game was a bad idea from a financial standpoint.
Still loved playing it though.
Conclusion: Get your act together, 3rd parties.doicare said:
If Wii can keep up with 360 in third party sales, in the US, with the huge, huge differences in support levels, then I think the writing is on the wall, and opportunities are being missed with niche games and shovelware. And the longer than opportunity is missed, the more difficult it is to take advantage of that opportunity, and the less of an opportunity it becomes.

Difference is when Umbrella Chronicles came out. I think many core gamers have moved on to PS3 or 360 since then.Jocchan said:

Yes, and those people were met with ridicule.Averon said:
Nope, you're giving us unsubstantiated and disproved bullshit. And you actually try to use the "I'm no fanboy, I own all consoles!" excuse. :lolspeculawyer said:
Where did you check? Since both Nintendo and Sony (unlike MS) release total software numbers, I know that the YTD sales through September 09 are 57.6 million for PS3 and 117.01 million for Wii. Last time we got data, Nintendo's share of Wii's total software sales were around 70% in Japan, 30% in the US and 40% in Europe. Since the Japanese market is ~1/3 of what Nintendo calls Europe (UK, Germany, France, Spain) and 1/6 of the US, the overall third party share is likely significantlty larger than 50%.doicare said:
How many games have been released for Wii worldwide this year and how many were released last year? What are the numbers for PS3 and 360?doicare said:
Which are the Wii third party games that have broken a million so far this year? (From January.) Hard facts please.doicare said:
Writing up the article for PSN downloads for October, but I wanted to bring this up:
That's the Top Downloads on the American PSN update for this week. Dragon Age's Warden's Keep DLC beat World At War Map Pack 3, something nothing did in the month of October. I'd say Dragon Age is doing quite well.
Forget the South Park Dynamic theme is there

...but I doubt it will outsell Umbrella Chronicles. How many people will be willing to double dip? How many bought UC expecting a different game and got burned? Only time will tell.Htown said:
This would be true if we could prove the bulk of UC's sales came from former Gamecube owners, but honestly I doubt this is the case.farnham said:
Wait, do you have a South Park dynamic theme on US PSN?Rlan said:Forget the South Park Dynamic theme is there

I wish somebody at SCEA would notice this already and put up FFVIII.

Hm. When you put it that way, it sounds a lot simpler than all the elaborate, circuitous arguments we've been having on this forum about the issue for the past three or four years. :lol
kswiston said:
It's quite good. Putting the game into the context of stuff like Star Ocean, even, really emphasizes its success.
Opiate said:
Where did you get this information? This assertion doesn't line up well with the reality where we've seen both music-game publishers aggressively push large slates of instruments and push instrument bundles in preference to standalone software copies.

That's word of mouth but it's not "the same thing" as the Borderlands effect, which is what BigDug13 is distinguishing here. I definitely believe that traditional word-of-mouth -- i.e. people telling their friends, audiences on messageboards, etc. that Demons' Souls is amazing -- is responsible for that game's success, and that there's nothing about PS3 that makes such WoM harder to achieve -- but the Xbox has a particular kind of diffused network effect that PS3 doesn't seem to duplicate.
XBL is very consciously arranged in order to drive up sales of the 20something-enthusiast-FPS-gamer-flavor-of-the-month title, through, basically, peer pressure in the form of the friendslist and universal game invites. I think you basically get a lot of people buying games because they have a regular crew they play with who egg them on to get in on the latest-and-greatest in a way that PSN doesn't facilitate quite as effectively.
I think word-of-mouth is a bad name for this latter effect, so you're right to draw this distinction -- PS3 clearly has a solid word-of-mouth effect boosting surprisingly quality games like DS, but Borderlands is benefiting from something a bit different on 360.
I checked with my friendsJokeropia said:
. Also to clarify, throughout my posts on this subject i have been talking about new 3rd party games released this year, in that one particular post you quoted i didn't explain properly what i was referring to. FYI those % from nintendo have changed in recent times.Using the wikipedia database of games 427 wii games were released in 2008 and in 2009 only 354 wii games have been released. I'll count up the 360 and ps3 games some other time as it took long enough counting up the wii totals already.Jokeropia said:
I'm not exactly sure what you are asking here because i have already answered this question, so far this year from new 3rd party games released in 2009 worldwide on the wii only ea sports active has sold over 1 million.Jokeropia said:

I think that i think i know what it means, but i think you think that i think it means something else, as i was thinking you might think you think you know what i was thinking i thought i might have a rethink and change what i was thinking so you might think i was thinking something else. It's simple when you think about it.
