Why are there two entries for Blastworks - one with box art showing ridiculously low sales, another w/o box art showing $120k in 3 weeks? This is one of the best-reviewed Wii games out there (84% Metascore), so why isn't it up on the sales charts?

maybe it doesnt appeal to alot of people

It's a SHMUP. What were you expecting? It's about as niche as a genre can be. Blastworks reaching 500K would be the equivalent of Mario Kart Wii reaching 25 million.

I love Blast Works but I wasn't expecting it to top 50k and even that may be a stretch at this point. Can you provide links for the game db people to fix the multiple entries?

Yea, it's wierd.

Blastworks flop because it's overpriced, graphically the game could have been possible on wiiware its a great game don't get me wrong but at $40 dollars it's a ripoff.

That wouldn't have helped much. Place it at $10 and you have to sell 4 times as many of a SHMUP. Nothing could save this game and give it sales unless it were Mario Blastworks.

I don't think it's a rip-off, $40 for Blastworks, plus the editor, plus the unlockable Kenta Cho games?  That's plenty of content :)

Err... What's a SHMUP?

Shoot Me Up.
