sales and reception says he's in the minority. at least in terms of the sequel

If we're using sales and reception as a basis for a game's need of creation... then Wolfenstein would be at the bottom of the barrel compared to Epic Mickey (even compared to The Power of Two, which even I can say was a disappointment in every sense of the word).

Disney's Epic Mickey (2.87 Million Copies Sold/73 MetaCritic)
Disney's Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two (1.47 Million Copies Sold/60 MetaCritic Average)

Wolfenstein (1.13 Million Copies Sold/72 MetaCritic Average)

All that aside, I think it's pretty silly to use his games' reception to somehow discredit his opinion on the matter. Yeah, his use of "we this" and "we that" was unneeded, and I do agree that his reaction is premature...

But you don't mess with Epic Mickey Oniyide. You just don't do that. Not on my watch.

*rides off into the sunset*

Oh yeah.

I dont disagree with what he said about Wolfenstein, but he is one of the last guys who should be talking. The fact that EM2 sold that much despite being released on FOUR not one FOUR consoles tells me that it in fact wasnt really needed. Its doing worst than the original all around even in critical reception.

Im not discrediting his opinion i agree with it, but the way he said it...if you live in a glass house dont throw stones.
