I don't think those two games bombed, but no one can say they sold really well.
These two games were supposed to be proof that mature games do have a place on Wii, but the sales numbers aren't exactly encouraging to new developers.
And I know the most common argument as to why mature Wii games don't sell as much as HD is that they don't get enough advertisement, but I saw ads on TV for both HotD, and MadWorld. And if I see an ad for a Wii game here in Canada, I know that the publisher has a decent amount of advertising.
And TC, you have no idea how much the budgets were, or the price retailers paid (I really think it would be less than $30).
