First off, survival horror isn't that popular as a genre to begin with. With the exception of Resident Evil, the sales barrier stops at around 2.5m (I haven't checked Left4Dead in a while).
Second off, no commercials/ads.
Third, the main character looks hideous. Now, I'm not the one to call guys cute, and bald space marines don't exactly make the cover of GQ magazine, but Alan Wake just looks like a douche. I guess he does llok the part of a writer then (OW!)
Fourth, internet hype =/= sales. Every exclusive is being treated like the Second Coming of Christ when it is nowhere near that popular off of the interwebs and in the real world. AW is not a system seller despite popular internet belief.
Fifth, reviews. I'm on VGC everyday, and I don't know what type of reviews it is getting. Is it even out in America???!? Even if I did know what scores AW was getting, I personally am not interested.
and Sixth? Alone In The Dark
