Come on, the combined budget of those games doesn`t even come close to MadWorld. Leave the HD consoles alone.
Let`s talk about how Zack & Wiki, No More Heroes, Boom Blox all failed to break the (very realistic) 1M barrier.

 

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...*

 

Yes, it flopped after few weeks of sales and is now holding steady =/ And MadWorld is still a short game for $50 with no price drops as of yet.

 

Still holding steady based on what?  It's already out of the top 40 in the UK.  And it likely only managed to hang on in the Wii full priced top 10 because of a massive price drop.  I guess we'll have to wait to see how it holds up in the US.
