Damage control, Soriku?

(after the huge success of Modern Warfare 2, if Black Ops would have sold only 8 million copies it would be seen as a huge failure regardless if it made a little profit)

So, just so I completely understand your standards for what is a failure and to continue your line of thinking, by YOUR standards, the PS3 is a HUGE failure, correct? (not just the month of November, but at any point in its lifetime - given the PS2)

Just to make it clear, I do not think so, but then I do not think Epic Mickey would be a failure at 1 million or even now...

Yes by that definition the PS3 is a failure. Huge? I don't know. Big, definately. There's no two ways around it.

Micky is a huge failure. Disney and Spector expected a new mega-seller in the 4-5 million ballpark (I dont remember exact quotes but even if you just read between the lines you realized they expected big numbers).

Just so I won't sound biased and like a hater, Alan Wake also was a huge failure.

Ok, fair enough. Given that it's a Wii game though and their often not being frontloaded at all, I'd wait to proclaim it a failure even by your definition.

Cool. Just for the record, I really wanted Mickey to be a huge success. And I'm still hoping they port it to HD consoles and that they'll make sequels.
