@bmmb1 & SaviorX - You know I'm not actually disagreeing with anything you're saying. We're all on the same page here. I'm just shooting down what I percieved as blind faith in the 'Wii games have legs' that O-D-C was esponsing.
For reasons already mentioned I don't expect Red Steel 2 to show any real legs until it's a budget game.
However as for 3rd party success on Wii, Wii fans are setting their sights too low. Sure Conduit, Madworld, HoTD:O were all commercially successful (they made money) but none are even close a 1m. Even CoDMWR which will eventually pass 1m is a very modest success. Especially when the HD version on a comparible sized user base sold 15m.
MH3 has already proven that a AAA core game can succeed on Wii. It sold 1m+ in Japan alone. I don't expect WW sales to do more than 2m but then it's niche outside of Japan so even on HD I wouldn't expect big numbers. I'm sure DQX will do similar.
