Wow, I would imagine it would be a HUGE disappointment to Sega if this didn't sell at least a million! When it is being released?

 

They would be disappointed if The Conduit didn't make a million.  MadWorld is not necessarily your average title that can appeal to the mainstream.  I mean it's a gory black and white hack and slash.  The market hasn't been known to eat that up.

I really think the only reason I see it even having a chance is because its the Wii and it's been known to allow any kind of game to have huge sales.  Of course Sega has to do their part as well.

Well, it's not often that third parties put a lot of effort in a Wii game, and you'd think that it'd sell well. Otherwise, why not put this kind of game of PS3/360?

Because...it would've costed even more and niche games sell better on the Wii anyway.

I'm not sure if Bayonetta can even hit a mil (both versions combined maybe, individually probably not).

This is Platinum Games (former Clover)...they're not known for their games selling very well.

What niche is Mad World exactly? Please let me know, because it looks like a violent sandbox game to me. And you have no proof for the bolded statement either. (Especially being that Mad World isn't niche)
