Um, the Wii shovelware doesn't sell well for the most part, neither did Ninjabread Man.

And it's the fact that the sales are frontloaded that is the proof most gamers dind't enjoy FFXIII (same with Other M and Heavy Rain), while gamers like games like Red Dead Redemption, Just Dance (it's not shovelware just because some people don't like it), and even Epic Mickey.

What about Carnival games? That's a million-seller no?

Also, I think the issue with FFXIII is there was sooooooooo much hype about it pre-launch, and when I sat down to play it, and there were no cities or NPC's or witty characters...well, that hurt me. Bearing in mind that I'd just come off re-playing FF12 in anticipation. It's an alright game. But it's not Final Fantasy.

 

@Wagram. I'm one of those people. FFVII is a good game, but nowhere near as good as many people want you to believe. I thought VIII, XII and III (maybe even X and IV) were better!

Carnival Games had legs. That means it has lasting appeal. Call of Duty games have legs even after their massive openings, which means they have appeal. Even some games that had small openings, like Madworld, The Conduit, and Chinatown Wars, kept selling after that and sold several times their openings. That meant they had some appeal beyong the hype (which was more to get a good opening, not to get sustained sales).
