Zack & Wiki has been out for at least a good three or four months now, and people are still pissed that its sales weren't better. VideoGamer weighs in this time, praising the title and slowly becoming more and more livid that Wii owners ignored it.
Perhaps it's a case of the boy who cried wolf. In the Wii's early days, 90% of titles released for it were utter rubbish. Cheap, short and with terrible graphics, these games were the result of a trend from many developers and publishers who thought they could make a killing by jumping on the Wii's bandwagon with quickly made casual titles.
On the whole, it's a strategy that hasn't worked. Instead of making a killing, all it's done is contributed to a feeling among casual and hardcore Wii owners alike that anything released on the Wii that's not developed by Nintendo is absolute tosh.
It's an interesting stance, but I can't agree. I've said my piece on why Zack & Wiki's sales weren't better. It's just not a game that's going to entertain a general audience.
