The moral of this thread is 'if you don't like it, don't buy it'.

The moral of this thread should be "If NO ONE LIKES IT, and NO ONE BUYS IT, why publishers still wanna do it?"

But that doesn't really apply, though. Like Tayne said, most rail shooters on Wii sold exceptionally well. Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles and House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return both broke the million mark, and both got sequels. House of the Dead: Overkill is almost up to 500k by now and still selling, while Darkside Chronicles hasn't proven it's worth yet, but I'm sure it'll go well past 500k. Rail shooters, generally, do pretty well on Wii, and especially ones with good content (Umbrella Chronicles, and probably Darkside as well, though I haven't played it yet.)

One question:

Could 500k really be considered good results for Overkill? (and i mean that as a real question, not being ironic here)

 

One bet:

Really, i cant see Darkside Chronicles doing very well. My guess is that the light gun genre is already dead. Extraction was a sign of things to come (even if Dead Space isnt a recognizable brand as Resident Evil)

 

I think so, yeah. Pretty sure Sega said a while back (when it was at like 300k) that they were pleased. It's not going to stop at 500k either, but keep rising for a while.

As for Darkside Chronicles, I'll be exremely surprised if it doesn't break 800k.
