the Dead Space people know is not on-rails, they don't even pay attention to what Wii owners think, how they f*** can they expect them to buy it?

Wii were all excited about it, until they said "on-rails" which Wii got a lot of them

On the other hand, so many of those light gun games go on to be profitable. Both House of the Dead titles have done well so far, the same is true for Ghost Squad, Umbrella Chronicles nearly doubled expectations, etc. Even EA's own other light-gun game, Nerf-N-Strike, has done fantastically (as they allude to in this interview). And my guess is that Darkside Chronicles is going to do pretty well too. It just seems like Dead Space fell between the cracks.

 

Big time.

Maybe because it came out so close to RE:DC? I mean that's like launching a brand new FPS a few weeks before CoD:MW2.
