aeolist said:Even though Zelda and FFXII are two of the biggest selling games of 2006 in Japan? And both are very involving 50 hour + games?
Huh what? 136k is the biggest selling game of 2006? It just got pwned by Wii Sports AND Wii Play. :lol
As for FFXII, that doesn't mean it's more profitable, or even close. The development time seriously undermined the profit value of the game, and it hasn't even outsold FFX. A real pity.
I do see a shift to faster and simpler games that sell very well. If a game like Wii Sports that probably took 5-6 months or less to develop outsells Zelda which took several YEARS to develop, what does that say?
