Man they are complaining about MadWorld. It sold 600k not even Conduit did that. I talked with HighVoltage last year and they said they considered Conduit a success at 400k . I honestly must say Sega that was a success in every meaning of the word. I remember UbiSoft saying RedSteel2 would only be considered a success if it shipped over 500k. Well according to VGChartz MadWorld sold more then RedSteel2 did and even more then UbiSoft had hoped to sell.
Would MadWorld have sold more on 360/PS3? As a multiplatform title on all three platforms yes it definatly would. But if it was on 360/PS3 and not on Wii I'd say 600k would be likely. But the game was very repetitive and while it was gory its art direction was nothing special either. The game just wasn't million unit quality.
Sega your gamble paid off you sold 600k that is a success in most publishers/developers eyes!
