@ Dark Chaos:

The game really didn't have any advertising though.  You shouldn't mistake Nintendo mentioning it at E3 with it having an actual marketing campaign. I believe it's a good game (I just bought it), but it was already doomed. RE:UC sold because it was a good game and had the "RESIDENT EVIL" name attached. That's the same reason why the sequel will sell too.

I understand that the advertising wasnt there and it would have sold more if theres was a few more ads. I am just annoyed when ppl use excuses as its not a good game or its too short or too many rail shooters as an excuse when the developers make a great hardcore game for the Wii that didn't sell well.

Hi.

Where you see an excuse I see a reason for why they haven't bought it. The length of the game is short and there are other rails games they may have bought. Some people don't realise how good this game is obviously, but to say that third party quality does not sell is not true. Big budget games by third parties have not sold because there hasn't been any.

There are a few trolls bringing up points regarding other trolls and projecting it on to all Wii owners. It's a bit dull. It might be interesting to analyse why this game hasn't sold (yet) without the drab 'Wii does not' or 'lack of effort' arguments. There was effort by the programmers that much is certain, whether EA has marketed it well is a more interesting debate.

Some people say lack of effort because it doesn't match what was done with the other Dead Space. People (on the internet and perhaps beyond) want top-notch expansive 3d adventure games. There has been nothing beyond Okami and Zelda really, though a few other games may qualify.
