Enslaved doing pretty good on both consoles.

Well, as I predicted, week 2 saw a big drop off for both Castlevania and Enslaved. Enslaved only managed around 20,000 copies this week on either consoles. Castlevania fared a little better, but overall numbers were grim for both titles.

You were correct.  I still think it's kind of dissapointing.

Agreed on both counts! :)

However there have been three relatively big releases that have bombed on the HD consoles over the last month, Enslaved, Castlevania and Front Mission. Three big games, big budgets and bad numbers, yet very little has been said in the gaming press about this.

People knock the Wii for poor third party numbers on core games, but when it happens on the HD systems very little is said. What's more, when a game like Madworld (with over 500k sales) or a game like HotD: Overkill (with over 700k sales) fail to reach a million units they do so with much reduced dev costs.

I would wager that the three games I have mentioned above will have left the devs well out of pocket.
