Dead Rising Wii flops in Japan, no reviews yet. Does Capcom know it's crap?

That wasn't what I wrote. Read my comment again.

You're right. You said we shouldn't be judging the sales of the game until 3-4 months have passed because Wii games have a tendency to have legs. My points were just to show that if this game turns out how everyone thinks it will, this game will not have the necessary ingredients required to attain good sales on the back end. The game cannot have good legs without good word of mouth, and at the moment, good word of mouth is looking to be more impossible to attain for this game day after day.

 

 

Not everyone thinks the game will turn out that way. Don't presume everyone thinks like this group. If everyone did, Okami would have been a blockbuster on both its systems.

It has bad press and bad forum talk almost entirely. On this site, you're probably the only person I've seen even give this game a chance. I'm sure there are people out there that think differently. What I'm saying is, if my version of things play out, which means bad reviews, bad press, bad word of mouth all around on forums, which is a realistic possibility and a likely one, do you feel the game will still acquire good legs? Am I missing another demographic that will not be persuaded by those turn of events that have considerable interest in this game?
