Christ people, the game BOMBED.. on ALL platforms. Just leave it at that. The userbase has nothing, I repeat, NOTHING to do with the game bombing. The game itself is the reason the game bombed.

I just love people actually bragging that an extra 3k of sales makes any significant difference. Either the game did well on all 3 platform or it bombed on all 3 platforms. But you cannot possibly claim with a straight face that somehow the Wii version bombed while the HD versions did not.. It seems the HD fanboys are trying to have their cake and eat it too.

Let's just say NMH on the 360 is one of the best selling bomb in Japan.

Well the 360 itself is a bomb in Japan, but yeah if we're looking at relative sales, the 360 version did by far the best. When your console only has a userbase of just over 1 million in Japan, suddenly 14k doesn't look so bad.

The PS3 version actually did the worst, having a far bigger userbase than the 360, and bigger than even the Wii's userbase at the time, yet only sold 3k greater than the Wii version, and the same as the 360 version.

So in terms of sucess for NMH, it would be 360 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Wii>>>>>PS3.

Actually 360 >>>>>>>> PS3/Wii

Or, to be more specific

PS3 - 14674 divided by 5099825 = 0.00287
Wii - 11703 divided by 4058642 = 0.00288
360 - 14,048 divided by 1284278 = 0.010966

The game bombed, across all systems, statiscally though the Wii beat the PS3, but it's the definition of "well within error"

Considering the game was a 3 year old port AND multiplat to the 360, the PS3 version did better than the Wii.

Though it really isn't worth defending to be honest ....
