Forums - Sales Discussion - House of the Dead sold 20 000 in UK only !

I think this is a very good number consediring that next week , we will have numbers for the rest of PAL region  (France, Germany, Spain, Italy...and Australia).

(This game is released on 13th in UK and 19th in rest of Europe)

I hope it might sold 60K first Week in europe and 60K more for NA. 

And perhaps 1Million LTD, as Shaun White. Who knows ?

thats good for sega they r making quite a nice collection of games this generation



Your right, I wasn't sure whether HOTD's late release in oz was the same for the rest of europe. This is great news.

Thread title sounds like Wii bashing



“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.

I know I'm excited.

You don´t control the movement yourself, that's done automatically. That way you can focus on shooting the dozens and dozens of zomb---eh mutants.

20k first week in the UK is pretty good for House of the Dead. It should be around 150k first week and lightgun shooters tend to have terrific legs on Wii.

Oh! Yeah I suddenly remember playing house of the dead in arcades now, aw those are pretty fun.



 

I don't think this will sell as much as HOTD 2&3 Return. That game was 2 games in 1 + it was only $30.

This is 1 game for $50. I love that SEGA is bringing traditional games to the Wii but $50 for a rail shooter is a major rip-off IMO.

Doesn't a play through of Overkill take around 3 times as long as a play through of the two game combined in 2&3? Add to that all of the side games, it's a pretty content-filled package for an evolution of a light gun game.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

20k is great considering that was only for 2 days in one country
