metroid sales are very sad!

why dont good wii games that havent got mario on the cover sell? especially in europe.

on the plus side for nintendo DQ is ticking alone nicely, very impressive to sell more than in america especially seeing as the ps2 version was the first version europeans got. was a stroke of genius by nintendo to market it towards the pokemon fanbase.

ps3 & 360 will have good bumps next week on the back of halo and move, i expect wii to be in last place by quite a margin and cant see it recovering tbh.

The problem is the underlined bit.

 

The TV ads for DQ here started off pretty sucky, but are much better now. I saw one on TV today and I have to say I'm impressed by the campaign overall now.

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

are you implying that there arent any good wii games?



360 drop expected: america sells should still be up giving it a small lead over wii holding top spot. (prediction/ quote me on it tomorrow)

PS3 sells lower then expected?

Wii lower then expected.



3-4 weeks and 360 is even with ps3 for the year.

Well I was assuming you weren't being completely literal, because if so it's *extremely* easy to refute.

 

I think what's more likely however is that the games you think are supposed to sell, such as Metroid: Other M, aren't very good games.
