Don't light-gun shooters sell the most at a lower price point? Who usually drops $50 on one of these?

It's only 3 weeks; lets wait a while before dropping the "D" word (Doom)

Compare it to UC though. That was also full priced. Also I'm not saying the game is doomed, or a failure. I'm sure Capcom will make a tidy prodit over the longer term. I mean we know Wii games have great legs and I would have to be a troll to discount that. Still the fact that it quite likely may drop below DS:E next week (NA) in only its 4th week is pretty unimpressive.

 

I do think you are right about the price point. Overkill vs HotD 2&3 Return seems to suggest that $50 is too high for many consumers. Personally I get more enjoyment hours of of rail games than nearly any other genre I play, but many clearly aren't like me. It would be interesting to see somebody try and launch a new quality railshooter at $30-$40 and see if they can make more via volume.
