Lets give it time. I see people bagging out MadWorld sales, because of the potential damage that a successful "hardcore, violent" game on the Wii could do to the other consoles :P

I'll be quite surprised if, by the end of the year - MadWorld hasn't sold 1m (at least) worldwide.

...

Its probably shipped 100-150k already - and may have only needed to ship 100k to break even.

Oh, please don't go there. We all know Wii games are cheaper to develop for, but this is just ridiculous. It's a quality game. Quality games cost money to make. Now it seems you're just insulting Platinum Games.

500k would be good for Platinum Games and Sega. A million would be amazing.

Ok fair enough - 200k. A shipment of 100k *should* earn the publisher around $2m. 200k around $4m.

Did Madworld cost more than $4m to make? Single platform? Quite possibly - but I doubt it got anywhere near the $10m mark. If it did... I'll be more than happy to eat my words.
