Looking at this week sales in EMEAA of titles like God of War and Goldeneye this quote from Ready at Dawn sounds very off:

"The novelty is wearing off, and the only people who are really successful on the platform is Nintendo. It’s not like anybody else out there is really happy with the games and the sales that they make on that platform.So it’s going to work well for [Nintendo], as all of their platforms usually do, but even in America we’re seeing now that it’s slowly dwindling down."

 

Loving the sales... but loving the people in this thread even more

Well they also acknowledged that working on the PSP was weird too for the most  part, because software was bad.  Given that, they come off as more objective at least.  I mean, they're panning their own endeavors.  And how does the 47,000 that Goldeneye made make them so off?   I'm sure activision wanted more, no?

Surely they expected more than first week sales of W@W and Reflex combined in Europe... oh wait

Oh man we know how those two titles bombed eh?  

Lets not forget the best opening for a Wii FPS game in Europe

No surely they didn't want that (note Metroid is an adventure game not sure why it's in there)

But wasn't that where all the excuses stemmed from?  Gimped, no advertisement, etc.  This had everything and was based on one of the most beloved shooters ever, and because it did 20,000 more than MW reflex, Reflex was a bomb and this wasn't?  And THIS had advertising and was well received.  I dunno, I just felt like Maynard was overblowing his point.

Uh Reflex was a bomb?  I didn't know selling 1.2 mil was a bomb
