voltch 07/01/11 2:45:00 PM #193:	yeeeeeah, for this type of argument, especially for Wii jRPGs, GMUN has sufficent enough knowledge on that particular area to have his posts read. Now thats not always the case with everyone since some users follow a product closely but are still not worth listening to because of how they argue...like albion, but yeah using Arc Rise Fantasia as a base there's nothing wrong with GMUN's theory here. Arc rise sold deceptively well, had very little hype or marketing, Xenoblade has to some extent a fair amount of recognition and has a strong word of mouth buzz to it. Certain elements I wouldn't be so sure about is, does GMUN know the margins and other financial details here. Like how do the budgets between the two games compare, how many copies need to be sold to cover costs, are there other issues we still don't know about involving contracts or licensing or w/e. Now while he may not know this, by using the Michael Pachter element, he's giving his argument some extra backing here, while you may not agree with Pachter, he's been good enough at his job to make a lot of money. -- Vote for this guy in every contest: Sess <cite>voltch posted [p:40026] in So Operati...

KamikazePotato 07/01/11 2:48:00 PM #194:	The company that produced Xenoblade is owned by Nintendo. There shouldn't be any problems with contracts or licensing. Translation costs are taken care of, too, and to an extent, marketing costs (Operation Rainfall helps there). The only 'real' cost to releasing Xenoblade would be physical copy production and distribution, I think. -- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. <cite>KamikazePotato posted [p:40027] in So Operati...

voltch 07/01/11 2:51:00 PM #195:	Which is where someone like pachter helps. A man like him knows how much of that 40 dollars you pay goes to the manufacturer, the retailer, the distributor, to the gamemaker, to the publisher etc. He knows how the dollars you pay over the counter are distributed, if he believes that the current buzz will lead to enough sales to satisfy everyone's bottom line, then you gotta think, its worth a shot. -- Vote for this guy in every contest: Sess <cite>voltch posted [p:40028] in So Operati...

Dauntless Hunter 07/01/11 4:55:00 PM #200:	*GuessMyUserName posted...* to be fair, the idea of updating Xenoblade's graphics for Wii U would be absolutely fantastic It would also FAR exceed any costs that could be preventing Nintendo from distributing the Wii version as-is. I mean anything's possible but Nintendo would have to have WAY more faith in Xenoblade than anyone pushing for its release to do this. Not to mention, if there were a Wii U version in the works, why would they undercut it in Europe/Australia by releasing the Wii version? -- Black Turtle spilled my diet soda! <cite>Dauntless Hunter posted [p:40033] in So Operati...
