I'm not even sure why you're calling it damage control. Are you assuming I feel the sales of Other M are good or something? Of course it's bombed in Europe but not really any mroe so than previous Metroid titles in Europe. I brought up Trilogy because it's the most recent prior to Other M (and my point about the difference in GC to Wii ownership is factual with regards to re-releases beign new titles to a huge portion. Even Nintendo believes this). Corruption is the only title other than Trilogy that we have 1st week data for Europe. That was 93k. Small compared to the 241k it opened in the Americas. |
Well, it seemed like you were comparing it to the Trilogy to make it look like less of a failure. Yes, a re-release can be new to some people but Other M isn't selling to those people. It's selling to the Metroid fanbase. The people who bought Corruption.
And like I said, if Other M does does 2.5X better in America as was the case with Corruption that would still only be 75k! "Small compared to the 241k it opened in the Americas."
