Seriously, what the F#%K happened, it's sales are poor.
I know it's a new IP, but it was a game targeted towards the hardcore, it was a game that was meant to appease the bitching harcore gamers on the wii, it was a game that from what I saw had a decent amount of hype, and reviews loved it.
Sega tried it's best and what does it get in return, a massive turkey slap to the face, whiling being sodomised from behind.
Honestly, with a 50million install base, one would expect this game to do ok sales wise, well enough for Sega to have a return on it's investment, but at this rate, Sega is just gonna have a sour taste in their mouths for a long time to come, which is sad really seeing as the game is very cool.
Perhaps Ubi has hit the sweetspot with the Wii userbase, and although most of us think a majority of there game on the wii are crap, there's no denying that they are making tons of money, and after what happened to sega, it wouldn't surprise me that they'll follow in ubisoft foot steps...kinda sad though.
I suppose the excuse that other developers use, keeps getting re-enforced each time a hardcore game is released and fails sales wise....it's like a vicious frigging cycle......but I suppose that the reality is that the majority of wii owners are indeed the casuals who find more value in buying carnival games than they do buying SSBB, and I saw this with my own eyes.
Perhaps, the Conduit will change things, but if it fails just as mad word did, then it's essentially a nail on the confine for hardcore games on the wii....perhaps though...the conduit may be a success sales wise, and it could usher in a new wave of succesful hardcore wii games (excluding Nintendo games cuz we know they all sell well)....I suppose time will tell.
I know allot of you, if not the whole of VG will label me a troll or even a flamer, hell I may even get banned for putting my honest opinion out there, but regardless of this, one can not deny that it's a real shame that the games we like, like mad word, aren't selling as they should on the winning console thus far.
You are all free to post your opinions, so get to it!!!
