Ouch. America is the most important market of course, though.

My hopes aren't up. You mentioned before that if this fails commercially then it comes down to the game, and that's true: it's had better advertising support than any other Metroid I can think of.

Ahem, Corruption had a hell of a lot, from TV spots aplenty and even it's own channel to promote the release.

That takes away not at all from what I'm saying. Other M's push is heavier, wider, and more far-reaching. The only advantage Corruption had was its own channel on the Wii, which doesn't amount to much in terms of exposure as compared to the kind of prime time commercials Other M had on so many channels.

Uh... at the time of Corruptions release the commercials were everywhere as well, just it was also mixed in with just pure Wii commercials going "Wii would like to play" so yeah it does take away I've seen the Other M commercials at similar time slots and on similar channels as I did for Corruption, both of our claims are just as hollow until some solid marketing numbers are found, but at this moment I'm in the feeling it's marketed just as well.
