I think I even know why Namco shipped only 12,000 units of the game, because the movie itself isnt mainstreamed yet. Its like the company that made the movie offer Namco to make the game out of it than the other way around, for promotional purposes and as for promotional tool it works well. 12,000 people buying the game was a sure thing for most of the people to watch the movie I mean, its like 12,000 people watching the movie in a week.
I think we're overreacting at this one, I mean I think Namco didnt even waste lot of money on this game like SEGA did with Golden Axe 27 million its only a fracture of that...
end of core gaming days prediction:
E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced
