I hope not...
An analyst has recently revealed that evidence from THQ's Q3 earnings report may suggest that Darksiders sold well under the publisher's expectations. Signal Hill Capital's Todd Greenwald believes that the excellent action/adventure game couldn't shift a million copies, despite the critical success and significant marketing campaign.
"[Darksiders] didn't perform up to THQ's expectations," explains Greenwald, "likely selling less than 1 million units despite heavy marketing dollars [and] 2-3 years of development costs." The analyst also adds that the game was being discounted in stores after only two weeks of sale.

It's hard for a new franchise to sell these days, but games with pedigree and good reviews like this and Boyonetta deserve more, anyway 2-3 years of development is a lot I didn't know that.
