Wow.

That's something that I just don't get.

ArduousAndy6860d ago

your smarter then this
wii play comes with a wiimote its the same price as a regular game. So your getting a free wiimote.

Torch6860d ago (Edited 6860d ago )

But it's NOT cheaper, from what I can recall (>$10 more than a stand-alone Wiimote, no?).

And if this title became available only yesterday, then yeah, I could understand. But it's been available for quite some time now...and it's beating out some truly stellar titles.

I figured that most everyone who wanted an additional remote would've bought one long before this option became available.

At least that's what I did.

Wii Play being on top is logical since people get it for the controller but its a big paradox since its also really REALLY stupid and IMO its even disgusting to see that. Its a dirty Nintendo tactic to sell more. I'm sorry and I meant no one any offence but come on, anyone can see how dirty Nintendo is trying to sell more (Not giving the market enough consoles and controllers and such. And we haven't got the Zapper or WiiFit yet...)

So is this from Amazon or something? Pretty crazy all those Wii games on the all platform list.

MK I thought you were a little smarter than that. If it was only the Wii that was having shortages then maybe but you have to realize that Nintendo is trying there darndest to not only make enough Wii's for everyone but they are still trying to make enough DS's for everyone. They have 2 systems that everyone wants and everyone buys the moment it gets there plus all the accessories for each and every owner wants 4 controllers and 4 numbchucks and however many of the others. All this and everyone expects them to just handle it and how dare they not! Give me a break with the 'they are holding out' garbage because it's just them with too much to bite off right now. They were at a happy comfort at 3rd place all they needed to do was make their core audience happy and now they have 100x of demand than before, probably more.

This title couldn't be more misleading even if it tried harder...

I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise

We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.

Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.

Scissorman24d ago

it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.

This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
