I thought we already bombed this game after first week?

commercially: Yes, without a doubt

i thought it was pretty successful even though i honestly have not seen much ads about it... kinda weird actually, maybe i just really have bad timing on tv (and i don't really read any gaming magazines).

i only know about it through sites like these...

saleswise they did ok but they would have expected more sales

more sales? how much more do you think they were expecting the game to do by now?

well it was christmas and disney has a big name name plus everybody has a wii so they could have gotten their children this

they have had good sales but i think they should have released earlier to get more out of the holidays.

Since you obviously want to hear it:

No, it was not successful

_{Actually, it over accomplished imo}

Haha I think he was jazzed that some reviewers "got it" while others didn't, most artists like it when a select group understands their art, sometimes it's not meant for everyone especially those that just look at the surface, it also shows him who's pretty shallow about artistic games Adam Sessler was talking about Epic Mickey and how it was a breath of fresh air but even he admitted people wouldn't get it, he even thought it wouldn't sell that great like the 3D platformers of last gen, but it's selling really well now and could surpass even Spector's expectations.

Did Disney or Warren ever say how many units sold they were expecting for the game?

I assume 1.2 Million units in 5 Weeks is classed as a success, for any new game on any platform, lifetime sales expectations could be different though.

I definitely agree with you on that. There is a certain "elitist pride" one can feel about one's work in such a case, and that is by no means a bad thing. I also think Spector appreciates the controversy and rethinking of what makes a game "fun" which has arisen from a lot of the negative feedback the title has gotten. Not so much the parts about the camera, but the discussion about choice (or lack thereof) and strong narrative vs. freedom and exploration.
