This is becoming a running theme on the Wii. The Quality to sales connection on the Wii isn't as strong as on the other systems. If many Wii owners don't read reviews, all they have to go by is their eyes. "Ooh, Sonic and Mario in the SAME game, at the Olympics?! What game can be better than that?!" It's hard to overcome that on the Wii. At least thats the way it seems.

The orginal Dead Space failed to sale on the HD systems  and that game received critical acclaim from game journalist and also had high scores. There were also advertisements and a movie. Yet no one,at EA, complained about the sales. Nor did they threaten to stop supporting the HD system because of this.

Actually combined PS3 and X360 Dead Space sold more than 1.5 million so far and that is really good sales. Dead Space also sld about 370k opening week on X360 and PS3 which is also really good. DS:E only sold 50k so far on Wii.

No actually it is not. That's 1.5 Million on two platforms. While other games have sold a Million or more on each individual platform. Dead Rising for the Xbox 360 sold over a million units and The port of  The House of the Dead 1 & 2 sold over a million units on the Wii.

If all you have to make an argument is to compare a third person shooter to a light gun game then I do not really believe that you actually have an argument. Light gun games rarely sale extremely well while third person shooters routinely do.

In comparison, what Dead Space did on PS360 is fantastic.

Maybe to you but Not according to EA.

In comparison.

I'd think that 9k makes 370k first month look pretty good.

This is a pretty stupid debate DS:E still has a chance if they drop the price to a budget game but its pretty obvious EA is disappointed with both, just one actually sold well but EA stating they still lost money on it is pretty sad, while the Wii game is selling at pathetic levels and if something doesn't change EA looks to lose money on that project as well...

Both of you are arguing which one did worse :P The Wii game still has a chance if they drop the price since 30 dollar on rail games sell pretty well 50 dollar rail shooters don't.  But if the Wii project ends up losing money as well they're both failues put it like that :P
