Typical Rol, hating everything that isn't pre-3DS Nintendo.

For comparison, Sega's Wii game MadWorld sold more than half a million copies.

oh god, that game took forever to reach those sales and was heavily discounted. Hell there selling this game for 2 bucks NEW on Amazon

...and that is strike three. You are out.

the games you mentioned flop, i dont know why you brought Madworld into it, you could have made your point without it.

You really should open up the link Rol has to understand..

Its still a crap comparision. Kinect is an addon so there audience is limited to who has the add on, Madworld is a game that anyone with Wii would enjoy. Now if we would use Red Steel 2, which did need an addon then that would work

Is there a single poster on this entire website who thought this game would actually push software? Because I never saw anyone claim it would. It was a poor looking game from the start. I haven't played it myself yet but it looked pretty lame.

Yes, Zapp Brannigan.

I am ignoring MARCUSDJACKSON's prediction of upwards to 9m for obvious reasons. I am also ignoring Zapp's change of mind after bad reviews came in for the sake of convenience (to make my argument look better).

Looks like my 400k prediction (if it got ok reviews which it did) is way too high.

I'm such a fanboy :/
