Exactly why those games sold poorly is irrelevant. That they did sell poorly disproves your statement.Jov said:Are those quality game sold poorly due to other reasons? Poor marketing or the company has had poor releases in the past, too many too often?
Ah. Excuse me.Point was it doesn't have to be a franchise to move systems, ala Halo.

This generation alone they had that donkey kong drum thingy , they had pikmen , they had animal crossing .
What original fresh titles has sony or ms put out ?
The only company that takes more chances and makes new kinds of games is sega (though not recently)
Nintendo makes something and everyone copys them.
rabidrabbit said:Pikmin - well, Sony has no equivalent rts light strategy/puzzle game, but the idea is old from Command & Conquer etc.
Animal Crossing - I really don't have much idea what this game is about... some kind of kiddie Sims?
Just putting an original, or old Nintedo character to a familiar genre with little innovation in the gameplay doesn't magically make the game innovative and original.

errr... I'll go and look, but in this thread you can tell us why you're interested it and what you're looking forward to.

london-boy said:doesn't that mean we should praise them for it?
All the musical titles they released were all very original and of very good quality.
Everyone makes something new and they always get copied. Nintendo hasn't done anything new lately, not any more than Sony at least.

Sony has the luxury (good for us) not to be concerned with pushing killer app for its platform. So they can try weird and interesting (possibly flops) like the Eyetoy. Nintendo is always forced to have a system selling 1st party line up. And as you said, "innovative" does not equate sales most of the time.

Not any less.

It just shows we have information on the CELL this week.
Try to build a thread about Revolutiion now. Good luck

Mario Sunshine was a disappointment, not innovative at all.
All the mario sport titles, no innovation there.
A couple of titles (pikmin and animal crossing) that happen to be innovative isn't gonna keep them floating forever.
Especially if those titles are just innovatiove but not "excellent" like Ico was and ICO2 will probably be.
