Maybe, but the rumor I was talking about was the port going to the Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade, and Nintendo would also get a Wii version of the original remade...but then that supposedly fell through because Nintendo didn't want to do it.
Actually, Nintendo was doing better then with money, than they are now.
The falling sales of the Wii, and the the so-so 3DS launch haven't helped investors have more confidence lately. Their stock price is near a 3(maybe 5) year low.
This would make a lot of sense, especially with the 360 HD port that was rumored a few years back, that supposedly got shut down because Nintendo wouldn't approve it...perhaps times have changed and money has changed hands also.
Well, as some have said, it's like any sports game really. You can always go out and play the real sports, or just play the games relaxing inside.
A few benefits I think GHP2 has, is the price for the game is less than a day of paintball and there are no whelps after playing it.
The money made is only calculated from the number of players that have reported data in the United States, so it's not world-wide.
I would guess they have easily made between $15-20 million off of it world-wide.
Yea, I make sure to state that under the image of the data. The data shown is from the Nintendo Channel, so it's reflective of a smaller percentage, but the "average" hours are probably pretty accurate among all Wii owners.
@I_find_it_funny:
I guess a few days before release would make sense, as purchases on the site are taken out instantly via credit cards usually...so perhaps once they are boxing the Vita up, and preparing them for shipping they make the charge?
Did you pre-order the Kindle, or just order from them after it was available?
I heard with the 3DS pre-orders that Amazon didn't charge until it was shipped, though I'm not sure if that is still the same.
Are most of those hours just in the online multi-player, or have you spent about an equal amount in the local multi-play as well?
Thanks for the feedback!
"It makes you look like a child, a very immature and silly child who is desperate for hits."
Based on what? It's not a desperate attempt for hits at all, the fact is I had the review scores published before this drama broke-out, and I saw the review scores after it happened...as is shown in the post.
"Sorry for being an ass, I'm just tired of noname sites like yours polluting the main page of what was once a great site, you know, n4g."
What do you guys think? Is HVS only at fault, or does this "reviewer" also have some blame to bear? Do you think Joystiq.com's editor(s) have any blame to bear in this situation for allowing such a "review" to be published?
The data shown is reflective of only Wii owners that have downloaded and use the Nintendo Channel, and based on the percentages, it's usually between 10-20% of owners of the games that use the Nintendo Channel.
Also, when you download the Nintendo Channel, it asks you if you want to share your information, and you can select yes or no.
So, this data would be reflective of just a smaller percentage of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess owners, not all Wii owner...
Have any of you been playing The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess recently? If so, is it your first time playing through the game, or have you already completed it before(if so, how many times)?
If you played the original game, The Conduit, and you have played Conduit 2, do you think Conduit 2 is better than the original in most areas?
The very first question is in regards to Greg Hastings Paintball 2's release date on the PS3, I have contacted Greg and Super X Studios on the issue of the release date, since the PSN crash has caused its release to be delayed.
If you own Rage of the Gladiator, have you finished the game's Challenge Mode yet?
Have any of you played Heavy Fire: Special Operations? If so, what do you think about the game? Do you feel the game is worth the $5 asking price, or should Wii owners perhaps look to its sequel instead, Heavy Fire: Black Arms?
"Amazon Sales rank analysis??? These charts don't say anything at all worth measuring, they are not even using comparable metrics. LOL. Who approved this???"
Why aren't the metrics comparable? I know it's not sales numbers, and it's not supposed to be a replacement of NPD data as stated in the post; but NPD data doesn't track Amazon.com sales, which I just find odd because it's the world's largest online retailer site...which is one reas...
Have any of you been playing Portal 2 recently? If so, which version have you been playing and what do you think about it?
If you played the original Portal, do you think Portal 2 is as good as/better than the original?
I keep hoping LucasArts will announce a new Republic Commando game, but I'm glad to see fans going this route.
