Sega DETERMINED to “CRACK core gaming” on Wii -- Madworld sold well enough!

Games like Madworld, No More Heroes, Muramasa, The Conduit, etc. wouldn't sell 1 million+ on the PS360 either though. These are all niche games. Especially NMH and Muramasa. Suda51 is too indie and Muramasa would only appeal to the action jrpg market (the jrpg market is pretty niche outside of Final Fantasy, Pokemon and Kingdom Hearts). I'm including The Conduit in that as well. How often do you see a shooter with under 70 metascore selling a lot on the PS360? Perhaps there might be some but I can't come up with any off the top of my head to be honest. Look at games like WET. You know the type of game that has that testosterone-filled appeal, a hot chick to boot and had some commercials during The Ultimate Fighter yet barely anyone bought it. I bet the publisher lost bags of money on that considering the poor sales and how expensive it is to develop for HD consoles.

I agree. Those titles are niche and only appeal to a small percentage of the of the already small "core" demographic on the wii. Sega needs to do something extraordinary to get the attention they seek; luckily they are well versed in the extraordinary.
