well, anyway Sega said they were happy with MadWorld sales and it's one of the most successful title of ex-Clover ever

Well of course Sega are happy with the sales, it's on track to make close to 1 Million in sales eventually and hey, that's well over the 500k it needs to break even.

 

It still weeeeellllll underperformed this sites expectations.

Though 500K seems a bit much to break even. 

I mean the game doesn't seem any more technically expensive then No More Heroes and is just as short.

So this site is Sega now? MadWorld performed to Sega's expectations. This means that the company that invested in the title have gotten back their investment so far. So umm.. I don't know how this site has anything to do with what you quoted.. I understand people made other predictions but peoples internet predictions don't dictate the success of any game. 

As for 500k being too much, MadWorld did have voice acting which would have put its budget over No More Heroes budget but.. I overestimated for the inevitable.. I didn't want to have people saying that I twisted the facts to make it seem like it's doing better or anything like that.. It'll make more profit than what I stated (it'll sell at full price for longer than what I assumed in my calculations) and also it probably costed less than what I assumed therefore my working is sound in pretty much every way. 

However IF it went over budget of if Sega drop the price next week or something then my working will still be accurate and once MadWorld hits 500k, we'll know for sure that it hasn't flopped.

Soriku had much higher expectatons if i remember correctly.

It kinda reminds you of someone claiming their team is going to go to win the championship of a sport... then claim they still did well by almost making the playoffs because they sucked the year before.

Factually true, but leave it to someone with more credibility on the subject to make the arguement.
