well if you want to know what went wrong here is the simple answer.

Ask anyone if they even know what it is (that doens't go to gaming site).

Heck even my gaming friends who visit sites once in a while, I would not be surprised if not a single one of them even has heard of the game.

I barely even know of it and didn't know release date. all i know is some insect game (didn't interest me) and that for some reason 3rd parties were gonna watch this game and how well it sold on Wii. No idea why either, i don't see this game selling well on anything, ever. Just doesn't have that big of appeal to people to be an insect and fight other insect. (what's the point?)

Making you a perfect example of what I said, except that you don't have an aversion to bugs but rather somehow see an action game involving them as inferior to what are very similar action games with people as characters (or even people against mutant space insects, which is already half way there to being bugs fighting bugs)

To be honest from what I have seen of Madworld, it is a very similar game to Deadly Creatures, except of course the artstyle and the use of humans instead of creatures.

 

You could take it that way... or you could focus on the fact that it's hard to be interested in game at all if you know almost nothing about it regardless of what it is.

Well that is an additional problem, but not just limited to this one game either.... Others have already said the game lacked marketing, I don't see the point in repeating them.

My point was that even for those who knew about the game, only a select few were interested.
