It doesn't matter anymore. It's not like 3rd parties will base any important decisions on the sales of this game. Even if they did, that would only affect the games coming out in a year and a half or longer...

Yeah, but dont you wish that a single game could shut up all the whining publishers?

 

Like "Yeah, Red Steel 2 is a great game, 3rd party, made for Motion Plus only, and because it had a little marketing push it sold more than 250k on first month alone. Now what were we talking about, Sega and Capcom?"

One of the problems is that first week sales are usually what gets talked about. See for example Madworld, which had already been declared a flop way before it reached its current level (400k).

So if Red Steel 2 sells like 200k-300k in the first month (around 100k first week), that will probably still result in doom and gloom for the Wii.
