Yeah, or maybe they thought the budget was so high already they couldn't put money into marketing it, who knows. It did get good reviews in the end, a missed opportunity imo.

The Americas have saved Alan Wake had it debuted there at under 100k the game would be a colossal failure. No in the same vein as No More Heroes 2 but still a huge flop.

Wake should do 1m-1.5m eventually shouldn't it?

1m would be good sales for a TPS survival game in my view,its only on one platform too

they can't of made any money on it surely,but then what do i know,i know i'd buy it if i could though,but ithen i'm a fan of the genre

Eh, Alan Wake was in development for 5 years (and planning had started years before that even).  It was probably more expensive to make than NMH1, NMH2 and the HD Remix all combined.

Bleh, I still can't get used to the new VGChartz.  I don't mind the "look" per se I just mind the layout of data.

What? It also applies to NMH2 you know.

emeaa europe, middle east, africa and asia

I believe you.  Just saying, it's the line the apologists were using a week ago.

i know the chart lists look more professional and all,and i guess they wanted less fanboyism

but i did prefer the colours on the chartlists,you can see at a glance,i need to wear my glasses now just to see whats what on the Vgchartz homepage and chart lists,

maybe they can make the PS3,Wii,360 a bit bigger in the brackets,lol 

I was just correcting a mistake you've made. I like correcting mistakes.

But I'm pretty sure you made that "mistake" on purpose though, am I wrong?
