Okay, so it's a port...

Saying that the game failed to out do the same game on another platform because it's a port insinuates that there is no difference between people who own the PS3/Xbox360 and people who own the Wii.

The game failed for the same reason Driver: Parallel Lines failed.

People who bought Wii's didn't buy it for Driver they bought it for what they bought it for.

The statement game X would of sold better on Console X than Y. Isn't backed up with any kind of fact only subjective conjectures. This goes for all those Wii complaints about Call of Duty games as well and anything else for that matter.

If CoD:WaW sold 1 million copies it means that people either bought or owned a Wii that saw value in CoD:WaW and not much more.

On the off chance that 24k people bought Wii's for no more heroes the game still underperformed to what?

=/ The only thing this shows is that a fun game is available to anyone with a console.

NMH Wii was done after a month basically, you can't find new copies now most places.  2.5 years from now, Heroes Paradise numbers will be more or less the same as well, though PS3+360 probably won't have a larger installed base than Wii.

It's sales on PS3 are just as pathetic, if not more so, yes, than it was on the Wii. The userbase for the PS3 now is comparible to what it was on the Wii when NHM launched so it's a far comparison (without taking other factors into consideration).

However sales for NHM on 360 have very good considering the size of the userbase. Clearly, there's more of an appetite for this type of game on Xbox than Wii (in Japan).

Regardless, this arguement is FAIL on all levels because it's a niche, small developer game and the sales are just pathetic any way you slice it on any systems in Japan. Proves nothing at all except this game won't sell. End of story.

Exactly this.

Two very late ports of a game that was hardly advertised with the stigma of being from the Wii is going to not exaclty do wonders in the sales department. Fact it is only a few thousand off is pretty impressive.

And let's be blunt, when you've got Bayonetta etc, why would you dash out to buy No More Heroes...?

I doubt a 2 year port NMH bombing on HD consoles is going to effect future 3rd party support for the HD consoles

To be fair, the Wii original had even less promotion compared to Heroes' Paradise.  HP actually got collectible pre-order bonuses (exclusive to each version too, encouraging fans to buy both), extensive magazine advertising/coverage and even a self contained pamphlet stocked at retailers all about the game.  The Wii version didn't even get that, it was literally sent to die (likely because it changed publisher hands from Spike to Marvelous).

No, but I gather it's effects Marvelous' future PS3/360 support.  They clearly expected more, plus Red Seeds Profile also just tanked for them.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmhmmmmmmmmmmm

*snaps fingers*

the sells of what ever game you are showing us numbers reflect nothing on or about a game that hasn't been released on HD platforms.

1st party vs 3rd party % statistics for 2008. RolStoppable! this is the best i could do. but it takes you to the thread.
