lol, troll spray...

But seriously there is so many exemples than game even without "wii" or "mario" can actually sell (I'm talking about The Blob, Boom blox or even Zak and Wiki). Maybe it just got lost in the huge load of games of the holidays season. What it weird is that the wii does not have that much of good core games so I though people would care more.




Totally forgot it came out. I'll probably pick it up sometime this week.



Publisher's fault, they shouldn't released it.



Poor PS3 Sales Means Smaller Losses

"Actually, because the number of units sold was not as high as we hoped, the loss was better than our original expectation," Quotes from Sony’s CFO Nobuyuki Oneda.

Lack of promotion?

I actually saw some advertising on site like Gonintendo and they also try to advertise it with contests, but I think we should keep in mind that redfly or Gamecock is not EA and that marketing a game is actually pretty expensive.



I think the sales can be summed up as "gamecock lol."

The game HAD some buzz...but then it got delayed and swallowed up by everything else on the market.



Tag - "No trolling on my watch!"

Its a new ip, its a strange dark platformer and probably not enough marketing.

I dk what to say. I wish someone would figure it out though.

If Pachy thinks de Blob and Boom Blox failed he must have no idea about this.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

that 1up 56% would have killed off any positive feedback

Bomed? really? it have only been released in the US and what I can see is that people just can't find in the stores.

Can't do shit against low sales when they only ship pretty much zero games.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)
