Wait, why is the thread starting to look like a bad idea?

Because the HD versions are proving more front-loaded, and likely aren't going to outsell the Wii version in Japan (despite lower pricepoints, more promotion/advertising, some actual brand awareness and a bigger userbase on one side and no censoring on the other). 

You forgot to mention releasing over 2 years after the Wii version.

And isn't the thread about first week sales?

No doubt.  Later releases always have an inherent disadvantage, even if that was NMH HD's only disadvantage (besides sloppy coding).

And the thread was about the games doing better ON 360 or PS3 than Wii.  Looks like that won't be happening though.

The majority of the OP is this -

"No More Heroes sold 14K on each HD console. Not outstanding sales, but that's better than the Wii's 11K.

Its rather impressive considering the Wii has a much larger userbase, its an old game, and the Wii version is easy to find in a bargain bin."

The rest of it was about how it WOULD have sold better on the HD consoles. Which if they can (possibly) outsell the Wii version 2 years later, it's VERY likely they would have done 2 years ago.

"It also proves the point I said back in 2008, this game would sell better on HD consoles"

So no, i don't really see how this thread was a "bad idea".
