About Me

edit

I have a Wii and a DS, and my brother has a 360. I don't have anything against the PS3. We just can't afford one yet, but I do want a PSP when I can.

Rein Retracts Recent Raging Remarks
Lord The Night Knight \| 9:31 PM on 07.24.2009	7 comments

Mark Rein has retracted his earlier statements from about the Wii and the Madden series.

Take from that what you will. I say he should have done some research before speaking up. I don't mean just in terms of fact checking (as the huge financial flops were from HD games), but also who his remarks would upset. He did just go for Nintendo with his comments, he went for basically all major Wii developers, including Sega indirectly and EA directly.

What was he thinking?

Alliteration always aids the ailing article.

Basic damage control. He ran his mouth and wasn't prepared for the consequences.

Love, Rein over me.

Why are we pointing fingers at the guy? He was right to begin with. Violent games just don't sell well on the Wii, and Madden, while interesting, isn't of the same level of quality as the HD versions are.

Maybe Mark Rein of EPIC and Gabe Newell of Valve (who called the PS3 a disaster) could split the cost and take a marketing 101 course together!
... or maybe they should just STFUAJMG!

No, he said that mature games are "huge financial flops". There is no actually certified money loosing mature title on the Wii as of yet.
