Thank you for not twisting my words to make me come off like some kind of twisted dissenting hater. I love Nintendo, and Nintendo's machines easily represent the bulk of my collection, but I tire of seeing Nintendo fans choosing crap like Mario Party # or Pikachu's Half-Assed Whatnot or Wii Whatsitz over any quality third party efforts. Nintendo fans have, at times, come off as elitist. They complain about how "average and mundane" The Conduit was, but average and mundane titles still sell on other systems. The Conduit scored, on average, abotu 10 percentage points higher than Haze on the PS3, and that game sold vastly higher numbers.
To me, that translates to an unwillingness to buy 3rd party games, where supporters of the X360 and PS3 still buy the games. So MadWorld only lasts about 7-10 hours. It's still a high quality game and a fun and unique title. It deserved better sales, as far as I'm concerned. It's almost as if there are gamers that own Nintendo systems, and Nintendo fans. And the big difference is that the fans greatly outnumber the gamers, and the fans don't buy 3rd party games.
I know a million in sales is still pretty damn good, speaking of GTA: Chinatown Wars. But seriously, that game is a total blast, and as far as I'm concerned, the best thing on the DS. For a system with sales ready to topple the PS2, only a million--especially for such a powerfully popular franchise--is pretty sad. I can't think of any other game that kept me as glued to the DS as that one did.
