No im talking to the guy that said "For a wii game its a success" or w.e

Oh.  I think that he left.

It is doing better than Madworld.

 

But MadWorld had a chainsaw in it!

Did MadWorld bomb? I mean, IGN (you know those reviewers who hate the Wii) gave it a 9!

I already explained earlier in this thread that Madworld would've only sold 37 copies if it didn't have a chainsaw.

So was the chainsaw a multiplier, or just additional sales?

Obviously additional sales.  Everyone loves a chainsaw. 

If it weren't for the chainsaw, the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" would have been a forgotten slasher flick.  Throw in a chainsaw and it reaches iconic status. 

When a game is to doomed for failure like Madworld is though, even a chainsaw can't save it.

The developers were idiots. You don't put "World" in the title of a game without counter-balancing it with a New, Super, Mario or Wii. If they had called is New Super Mad Wii, it would be at 10 million sales right now, I can guarantee that. Or maybe they should have ditched the "Mad" as well, not sure what that does, and just called it _
