STOPPING making hardcore games for xbox and PS3, unless when you say "hardcore" you mean "good, decent" games.

And god, for 5 million seller, there must be more deserving games than this. :(

What didn't you like about it?

Well, this review kinda summed it up for me quite nicely

 

also, to see this game doing so well, while more deserving games (like NMH or Z&W) struggle to break 500K, it's heartbreaking.

I haven't feel this sad for a console since my PS2 days watching Okami and Shadows fail at retail.

Did you actually play the game? Because after playing the game, I would say that the game really can be a blast, and that video seemed to focus on some of the worst parts of the game, and made things that I wouldn't even consider into bad things, like the clothing "issue", who really wants to see Mario in a swimsuit, and why does it matter if they're wearing masks? In a game that was suppose to be a simulator of fencing, then I could see the problem. I fell the game should be about 8-8.5.

And let's not get into the whole NMG/Z&W thing. NMH will probably break 500k once it's released in Europe, and could possibly (in the very long run) push past 1 million, and Z&W is doing really well for it's kind of game.

 I played it twice in 2 different friends' home and I can honestly say it was way too repetitive a game.

Let's just say that you would rate it 8-8.5, does a 8.5 game deserve 5 million copies sold? As oppose to a 9.0 title like NMH or Z&W? Heck, even MP3, a true AAA title didn't sell that well.
