Yeah, but as I pointed out with the Natutal Born Killers example most of the general public (the same people that would put Natural Born Killers in the crime or Devil's Rejects in the horror sections instead of the art or drama sections and that makes up the mass market) would take one look at a picture of Travis Touchdown on the cover of No More Heroes if it was on 360 see him wearing his shirt that is right out of Vice City and holding a sword, while having no idea that it was more like El Topo instead, and think, "Oh, its another good GTA type game." It might not have had sales as high as GTA or as I earlier mentioned but I suspect it wouldn't have sold any fewer copies than Saints' Row (close to 2 million sold) or Saints' Row 2 (well over 1 million) than the 500,00 NMH has managed so far on Wii.
Heavens to Murgatoids.
