So it's beat out Fracture, Folklore, Legendary, X-Blades, Blacksite Area 51, etc...

I think those are pretty good comparisons (mostly) multiplat games on the HD consoles with similar or more marketing.

LOL similar marketing , please stop spewing garbage/lies .  I haven't even heard of any of those games apart from folkore through word of mouth . I could list hundreds of Wii games which were outsold by a particular HD title and claim they had similar marketing but what significance would that have if I couldn't really proove it ?

Also taking into consdiration the fact that the games you've chosen are from different genre's released at different times in this generation and there's a strong case for ignoring your post.

That's not my fault that you do not know very much about video games or the gaming industry.

Fracture is a Lucas Arts game that had tons of TV, internet, and print ads.  One of the major gaming websites was Fracture themed for weeks, with the screen shaking.

Folklore had very little advertising.

Legendary has had lots of Television ads on cable and weekly videos on Gametrailers for months from the day it was announced as Legendary: The Box.

Blacksite Area 51 had lots of TV and internet advertising.

X-Blades you may be right about.

Legendary and Fracture were both games being hyped as FPS with a twist, something high-brow gamers have been bitching about not getting for a while.  Of course, like M-rated games on Wii and DS, a new style game on HD consoles may get a lot of requests but when it appears, no one buys.

The reason why Mad World has gotten more buzz with out all the marketing dollars being spent is that it is one of very few games on Wii that caters to (infantile) adults.
