i think many of you would be suprised how many casuals would be interested in a WW2 shooter. Much more than a Alien shooter imo. And since about 45 million people own Wiis it would not take too much to do that.

I see people mention the PS2 version flopping, and to me that is a given, it does not offer ANYTHING you cant get on the HD versions, well except price.

Also people were not necesarily calling Carnival Games a Flop... They were just like well I am sure 2k is making money of this shovelware, read the early comments on the game if you do not believe me. It was adjust by like 60% then had good legs. Game Party was much the same, but on a smaller scale.

 

 Do you have any proof of how much they love WW2 shooters?

Save for the Ps360 ones, I cannot find any WW2 shooters above 3M, and only 4 above 2M...

 

 nothing more than anecdotes.

I know several people who are not interested in Halo/Resitance games, but like Tom Clancy/ Call of Duty esque stuff. Also, parents buy games for stupid reasons. I actually know a parent who bought CoD:WaW for their kid because of its "historical" value compared to other games, also someone who is very Patriot would be intruiged by a WW2 game or Modern Warfare, or a kid who wants to be a soldier when he grows up. IMO most scifi type people are already "gamer" types, they may not be hard core, but gaming is "in" for them.
