Oh common... Im fairly certain tghat reviewers would have pointed that part out... I have a feeling that you are seriously overexagerating again, like most times. The game got overall great reviews and it still bombed bigtimes. It didnt have a massive advertisement campaign, true, but on the other hand Maddworld had a pretty decent one and still barely managed to reach 300k in 6 months.
The truth is that core gamers migrated away from the Wii, and launching a new core IP on it is almost allways suicidal. And for Dead Space E it was allmost like a new IP considering that even on the HD twins it did fairly mediocre numbers tough far better then this.
@ 68soul: yeah but the problem is that mpost of those upcomming games are mostly Japanese and other like Red Steel 2, The Grinder and Epic Mickey still have tons to proove. They either come from failure developers ( TC & RS2) or they have some massive goals to achioeve ( EM).

Huh? Despite MadWorld "barely managed to reach 300k in 6 months." they still said it sold well.
Core gamers migrated from the Wii? Is that why games like MH3, No More Heroes, Tales, whatever sold well?
Like Cougarman said, how come Japanese games don't count? Is it because there's many quality games on the Wii from JP devs that you can't let them factor in with your post because then your whole post crumbles?
The Grinder has things to prove, but Red Steel sold a mil and RS2 looks like it's quality, and Epic Mickey is supposed to be a reform for the entire company at Disney so it's HUGE, and Warren Spector is behind it so it doesn't really have much to prove since it's going to be quality no matter what.

Japan doesn't have propaganda generated by MS and Sony, in addition to gaming media in general, that consistently divides Nintendo from "the rest" of the market. This clearly matters, and will matter more so when Natal and Sony dildo try and go back over the border.
When you look at the japanese market, theyre trying with Eyepet and Africa, but they just don't have that retarded division like the West. I blame Microsofts f---ed up anti competitive s--t, not too much of a stretch considering their history.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
