Lets see what Capcom and Ubisoft has to say

Red steel and Resident evil 4 Sales do suck in japan but they sold

excellent in Europe and north america so this game still has a very good chance in Europe and

North America

thats kinda sad... but hopefully us and european sales will have a decent enough sell through to satisfy suda51. i really think this title has potential to sell well in these markets, seeing as theres nothing really in that genre for the wii.... but then again it does seem like a pretty unique game.

He's upset that his game bombed in Japan, but everyone except him seemed to know it was going to bomb in Japan. The Japanese audience hates that kind of game, and it's already outsold Killer 7 in the country. Suda has never made a game that even sold half a million copies, and I think it's starting to get to him.

double post

Well that sucks but who knows the game might sell really well in Europe and America.

I blame Wii fit.

 its getting old now

on 2nd thought..nah =D

Soriku said: Poor guy I'm feeling for him. But this doesn't mean no Wii support, obviously. I can't wait to see his next Wii game, after NMH. (Maybe NMH2? New game?)

His next game is Fatal Frame 4 on Wii, which he was hired to make by Tecmo.  In an interview that just popped up on Kotaku though he says he wants to start work on No More Heroes 2:

I'm really willing to make a sequel version--and right now I'm asking if it can be made...I think No More Heroes is a great game, there's no other action game like it for the Wii. If it was a band, it would be really energetic, like the Arctic Monkeys.

i think this one has a chance to surpass 500K...

Sounds like he's still disappointed for his game bombing in Japan. =/

I would call the casual audience of the Wii in Japan more of an issue with Japan than an issue with Nintendo. There's plenty of "hardcore" games available in Japan, but they simply aren't selling too well on any system. Therefore he probably has a point as far as Japan is concerned, but serious "gamer's games" on the Wii do very well in the West.

As for third party sales in general, very few third parties have managed to invest a considerable amount of resources on the Wii, but the few far sighted ones have been very succesful. I suppose not realising this is understandable if you don't know where to find accurate sales data. =P
