However, all of those games should have done well, but some are a bit rough. Other M, Alan Wake and Red Steel 2 have all sold well, and I'm sure Red Steel 2 wil hit its target of 500k LT sometime next year. Not great sales, but what they wanted. Maybe Red Steel 3 with a Move PS3 option as well?

Heck, if 380k for Conduit was enough to warrant a sequel...

 They wanted 1m for Red Steel 2 initially, but a few weeks before launch they slashed their expectations in half, as I guess they knew it wasn't going to perform well.

 I doubt at even 500k it'd break even, as even though it's a Wii game, the thing was in developement pretty much straight after the orignal was a hit which is over 3 years. From what I've read / heard the long developement cycle was due to poor management at Ubisoft, with the games code pretty much being binned after a year and started anew.

 Tbh I think they just took too long to get Red Steel 2 out, no one remembered the original lol.

I think the opposite, people remebered the original and how bad it was, so they didn't want to risk getting the sequel...

As a new IP; who knows? It probably would have sold better...
