Sven is apparently a really terrible source for sales data. Z&W may have bombed, but we don't have any good hard data to prove it.

You're Right!

These Capcom employees know nothing, we should clearly listen to the video game estimates site who get tons of other games wrong when compared to other more legitamate sources. To think that Capcom's own employees who are in charge of making these games sell would have a clue how well it sold at all, what a stupid foolish ignorant idea, they wouldn't have a clue!

 If only we had at least one Capcom employees state how well the game sold and how well it's finances held...OH SHI.

Hey, hey, chill. I think - I think - he means to say that it would be nice if Sven shared some data, or Capcom shared some data in general. It's not the correctness that is the problem here, it is the information-sharing.

I think.

I agree it'd be great if any company shared any sort of data of this nature but in truth, no one does, because it's private data. What Sven said was far beyond what any other company would allow an employee to say, and I'd imagine is enough to get him in a small bit of trouble at Capcom.

 Sales and profits data on this scale is never going to be shared, which is a shame I guess. What he's said though is enough to get the general picture, whcih when we're using a site like VGC (No criticism, what VGC does is amazing in the circumstances) is more then we'll ever see 99% of the time.

 It just baffles me that even when official Capcom reps pretty much come out and say the game wasn't a success and didn't make them any profit, the Wii fanboys choose to go down the route of questioning the Capcom employes integrity as oppose to just accept that this one didn't work out as planned. I just don't get that.

It's not a behavior exclusive to "Wii fanboys". Owners of every system balk when a game they really love didn't do as well. It's a normal reaction - don't judge them too harshly for it.
