Procrastinato said: By that logic, MadWorld and Dead Space: Extraction should have sold like hotcakes. They were pretty good games. Also, Metroid Prime Trilogy should have outsold CoD:MW2 on the HDs, because each one is a WAY better game than MW2, and there are THREE of them in the package, AND its only $50, not $60. Somehow I think they've missed something along the way, and Capcom has just a bit more experience than some small-time dev, at judging the market. Just maybe. |
Dead Space: Extraction is an on-rails. On-rails isn't a popular genre and it's already super-saturated on the Wii. Unpopular and super-saturated genre = bad sales.
MadWorld is a niche (and repetitive) game.
Metroid Prime Trilogy? Most of the funs already bought the first two games and Metroid Prime 3 sold very well, so Trilogy sold very well for what it is.

Madworld is a niche title and Bionic Commando has more quality than Madworld but it sold worse.
