Forums - Sales - Will MadWorld reach 1 million worldwide sales?

I've stopped making predictions of how well or bad a Wii game will sell. It's always different to your own prediction.

Madworld could be a flop but it's also likely to sell over 750k copies, I really don't know.

Wow, I would imagine it would be a HUGE disappointment to Sega if this didn't sell at least a million! When it is being released?

 

They would be disappointed if The Conduit didn't make a million.  MadWorld is not necessarily your average title that can appeal to the mainstream.  I mean it's a gory black and white hack and slash.  The market hasn't been known to eat that up.

I really think the only reason I see it even having a chance is because its the Wii and it's been known to allow any kind of game to have huge sales.  Of course Sega has to do their part as well.

Well, it's not often that third parties put a lot of effort in a Wii game, and you'd think that it'd sell well. Otherwise, why not put this kind of game of PS3/360?

Unless they have great ads to try to show the blood it won't get mainstream screwing any chance at 1 million but I will be buying this game ^_^

Because...it would've costed even more and niche games sell better on the Wii anyway.

I'm not sure if Bayonetta can even hit a mil (both versions combined maybe, individually probably not).

This is Platinum Games (former Clover)...they're not known for their games selling very well.

 

Bayonetta is done by the creator of Devil May Cry, so it may end up hitting a million if it ends up being a good game. It will outsell Madworld easily.



How much has sold God Hand ?

I'm really looking forward to MadWorld but i dont really think that game can sell million, its just so different then everything else, especially the presentation it does not try to be realistic , and art style wont be appreciated by everyone because it does not feature generic 3d graphics.

I dont think Violence will play any part because people do want to play games rated 18+ on the Wii, its just this title looks so indy like No More Heroes and even with some sort of advertising campaign behind it. I think SEGA will be happy if Madworld sells 500k in a year, and that would be a decent result.

I dont really think that Madworld would sell any more on the 360 or PS3 because games with such artstyle od not really perform well on those consoles.

I see big sales in the Conduit, if HVS delivers a good game it could sell something round 2 million.



My heart wants me to say yes, and I know I'm going to play it and love it and talk to others who do the same, but my head says no, it won't.

Platinum Games will be lucky to have a million seller ever.

I do expect Mad World to outdo Bulletta, or however you spell that.



It looks pretty cool, but I am actually worried that the black & white graphics will make it hard to see what's going on and be a source of frustration. If they have avoided that I am quite likely to buy it. A little bit of violence never hurt anybody, as they say.
