Remedy definitely isn't happy with the console sales of Alan Wake no matter what they say. No one in their right mind can be after such a long development time and hype. Max Payne sold over 4 million console copies and Pax Payne 2 over 2 million (which already was a big disappointment). Before release Remedy hoped to expand Alan Wake across a number of different media such as movies, graphical novels and TV series. But what happened was that Alan Wake crawled to 1 million only thanks to bundles. And now they're making games for XBL Arcade. |
yes, that is exactly what i am thinking. they even stated, that they spent all their profits from the Max Payne francise on developing it.

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
