@tjallern So you're another one of those that keep moving the goal post, good for you. But, to use your language, though of course they would have wanted their games to sell by the ton (just like I would like to win the lottery), companies don't give a rat's ass about your standards for what is "impressive". All companies care about is profits (NOT revenues - but profits). And so, just for illustrations sake, if Guitar Hero 3 sold about as much on the 360 but cost twice as much to make/market, guess which situation the company would prefer to be in? NMH sales were not IMPRESSIVE, but this became SUDA51's best selling game on any platform.
