540k is fail for TC? That's great! New Blood didn't do too good but I doubt it hurt them a whole lot. It still sold 180k. But yeah Baroque and the rest did fail.

Okay I can understand the first Wii Trauma Center doing well. Reason being it was the first one avalible for the Wii to try and it was built on positive word by the DS Trauma Center games, notice the sequel of the Wii Trauma Center: New Blood failed miserably with the 180k units. 

I don't even know what was the point of release Baroque. Let alone for both the Wii and the PS2. That was a horrible choice.

Baroque was originally a Saturn game that many Japanese and import gamers considered great when it came out or so I've heard.  However, it seems that the Wii/PS2 remake is severly flawed.

 

Atlus can't depend of SMT and Persona alone for profit.

Are we sure Persona 4 made profit?

It sold over 500K worldwide and it hasn't even been released in Europe yet.  I'd say it has made a decent profit.  Persona 4 is not the type of game that need to sell Halo like numbers to make any form of profit.  Persona 4's development cost was dirt cheap compared to current gen and even some of the more expensive last gen games.
