To all of those that think SEGA's both hardcore games bombed.

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).

This is what I don't get. We were told these things by gaming websites like IGN, but I don't buy it. Because what this means is we'll have to eliminate games like CoD 3/W@W, Red Steel, RE4 Wii Edition, and HOTD 2/3.

Just one of these things that boggles my mind, disregard the games that disprove something in favor of two games that prove nothing.
