Haha, he didn't really say that did he? Doesn't he work for some big time Wall St. firm. I may not be a fan of Nintendo but no one can deny the selling power of Mario.zombiehead wrote:That's why that Michael Pachter guy is a douche because that's how he thinks.

it matters because they can make more money appealing to both markets ? they might lose money on the occasional product but what product is that not true of ? you might as well ask why they keep making big budget movies when they sometimes fail, and they could be making exclusively low-budget comedies.spacehamster wrote:I don't see how it matters that there's very little overlap. If you can make a game that costs half as much to make and will sell twice as many copies, does it matter that you're reaching a demographic that you otherwise wouldn't reach? I'm saying I don't see why the big publishers are even interested in catering to the geeks anymore if they can make more money selling shitty Wiifit games to housewives.riley-o wrote:video game producers want everybody buying something, which is why they still make big budget story-driven games. people buy them. i'm not sure why that would be at all difficult to understand ?

i can't believe this is confusing in any way ?
I don't. I was also out of the loop for 8 years until I bought a PS3 about a year ago. I'm not trying to be argumentative here, it's just that when I picked up my first gaming console in like 10 years, I came back to a videogame market where the best selling console on the market is an outdated piece of shit that caters to people who don't like videogames.abdominalpillaging wrote:

I know. That's the point. We don't seem to be broadcasting on the same frequency today, Riley.riley-o wrote:which is the exact market video game developers have been trying to reach for decades.spacehamster wrote:that caters to people who don't like videogames.
Wii has more 3rd party million+ sellers than the PS3 or 360 last time I checked.abdominalpillaging wrote: he must not keep up with anything relating to games other than what's coming out. it's been said over and over for a few years now that third party games on the wii DO NOT sell. for every wii fit game there's 40 other games that don't sell enough to make back their million dollar budget.

I have nothing to do for the next 4 days so I went and got Heavy Rain and I'm wondering if I can beat it this weekend and take it back and get GOW3. is there any limit on this claim or can you basically rent unlimited games for 7 days with no charge?
