I think that Ubi is hoping for word of mouth, but if Red Steel 2 tanks, I can only imagine what they will do for future on the Wii. I suggest everyone to go and buy it, or after EA we have another publisher who'll abandon the HC audience.

Practically spoken: There are so many great Wii games in the line for 2010, so I don't bother what games Ubi and EA are publishing in the future.

By the way the sales of many HD-games in the last few month are disappointing too, but everyone only speaks of Wii games.

Well yeah, there are quality titles on HD which tanked in sales, like Bayonetta, selling only 1 milion copies. Oh wait...

And which great games do you have in mind? SMG2, M:M, Zelda Wii, these are 3 games. Red Steel 2 was one of the most anticipated titles amongst many core gamers on the Wii, I was watching that title since before last year's E3 and ever since. You have 3 big N games which is unheard of, so yes, that's great... But this was one of the biggest 3rd party titles. If it won't sell, guess who will think twice before investing into development of Wii games?

Dante's inferno? Nah, that only had a superbowl ad. LoL. And what core Wii gamers were greatly anticipating this game? And what makes this game so big? I have it but I can understand the mixed reviews, its a hate it or love it sort of game. And it is pretty short, around Madworld short. With no multiplayer whatsoever. Though it does have some replayability if you want to complete all the challenges. Why would they think twice? For all the bombs on HD consoles why wouldn't those investors think twice? Don't try and make Wii bombs out to be a bigger deal than any other bombs on other consoles. A bomb is a bomb is a bomb. However, you might want to think twice in calling Wii games bombs so early, as time and time again Wii bombs either go on to sell quite a bit of copies and somehow end up getting sequels.
