Well at least Riddick and Wheelman had tough competition. MadWorld had the field pretty much completely to itself and still flopped. As for cost, I've seen a lot more advertising for MadWorld than I ever did for Wheelman or Riddick, and how much would Riddick really cost considering it's basically an upgrade of an already great looking Xbox game with a few additional levels.
*Tries to remember if VG Chartz' logo changed for Riddick or other gaming websites having significant amounts of advertising for it. Also tries to remember if local videogame stores had advertising for Riddick like they did for MadWorld. Hmm...* |
Seeing more advertizements doesn't (necessarily) mean that more money was spent on marketing, just that you may watch more of the television that defines a particular demographic that is being targeted by the company. Personally, I saw a few advertizements for MadWorld on a small national network in off-peak hours in a Startrek rerun while I am constantly bombarded with wheelman and Riddick commercials if I watch Spike at primetime ... While Spike may not be a very big network, it is much larger than the network I saw the MadWorld commercials on (Space), its primetime slot would certainly be more expensive than the off-peak timeslot I saw MadWorld on, and the quantity of advertizements is far greater for Wheelman and Riddick.
