You mean a two-year-old, second-rate port didn't expand the Wii's core market? Gasp! Shock!

I think the sales of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories are more telling. That game pulled 100k in America in three weeks, while its sister game (Homecoming) sold only 200k lifetime in the same territory on the 360. And Shattered Memories is even more of a niche title than Homecoming.

It's said in every thread like this, so I'll say it here first: Core games sell on the Wii if they're what the core market wants. The core market doesn't want more rail shooters or half-arsed ports; it wants games like SH:SM.

i concur, even tho i did enjoy Dead space as well as Darkside(for the fan service which is plentiful), i ALSO own Silent Hill.And heck madworld.And reflex, yes, it has its cons, but is so much fun even as it is. it deserves to do so good. Konami made a bet  on the wii and at least its returning better than 360 did back then. And i already feel the confidence that No More heroes 2, after years of positive word of mouth, will outperform NMH 1 very nicely. Quite probably outsell the HD remake at it.
