Nobody has really explained why inFamous was a sales disappointment. It had good hype, yes. But it's selling accordingly. It looks like it could easily reach 1.5 million at least, and it will surely make a profit. Again, no good explanations. This must be what it's like to be a Wii fan.

Being a PS3 fan is worse. Wii games that sell 500k are called failures. PS3 exclusives that sell 2.5 million are called failures.

Yes, yes, I understand the concept of development costs, and No More Heroes was successful, and made $5 billion of profit, and Goichi Suda lives in a 10 storey house in Hollywood now.

Don't forget that he threw a party to celebrate the sales, even though it had barely sold much at all when he threw the party.

Lol, the party was probably a discount stripper in his living room and some budget alcohol.

400k copies at an average of $20 per copy would be $8 million. That would have made a pretty tidy profit, actually. But less profit than LBP...
