Ok so many of us know that 3rd party hardcore games don't sell well on the Wii. So my suggestion is to port those games over to PSN and XBLA at a discounted price of $20 - $40. All developers need to do is add an analog control patch to the game (as Lair did) and optimize it for 360 and PS3.
Think about it this would give games like MadWorld, The Conduit, No More Heroes, Red Steel and every other Hardcore Wii game that didn't make the sells the developer wanted a second chance. And come 2010 motion controls will be on every console, so making porting that much simpler (as long as you don't have to do some super coding to get the game to run properly).
What do you think?
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
I'm sure Nintendo makes deals with some of those game companies for exclusivity. However, there's nothing to stop Sega from releasing their entire back catalog of games on PSN/XBLA. The Genesis collections are nice, but I would love to see the entire Dreamcast library on PSN/XBLA with hd graphics and achievements/trophies.
I know the guy who makes No More Heroes really wants Johnny Football (or whatever his name is) to be in a Super Smash Bros. game, so count him out.
My view is more so from the developer rather than the consumer. If my game isn't making the sells I expected on a platform especially when the publishers isn't Nintendo. Then you better believe it's going to be multiplatform in 6 months to a year.
Half the time it's the controls that makes a game on Wii. Take Madworld, it would be totally boring and uninspired with a normal controller, same with No More Heroes. It just wouldn't have that appeal and would probably be too easy because hand and arm gestures are replaced with swift button tapping. Same reason that I don't want GoW on the PS3 to use the new motion wands, it would be knackering.
