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.

If you look at most of my replies you can tell I've tried harder and harder to refrain from using a term like 'Wii Fanboys', but I guess my fuse just blew.
Either way, I didn't want to turn this into a debate of PS360 sucess vs Wii or whatever, so comparing fanboy remarks or whatever isn't what I intended.
It is a shame so many people try to turn something like this into a PS360 vs Wii debate when they should just be looking at what the apparent facts mean for themselves, and for the system they represent. One games failures arn't enough to really decide anything, as I've said before the only thing they do is show we're in no position to deem what is a success and what is a failure on any platform, just cause we have VGC numbers and some estimates at expenses.
