useful, not really- yes and no, it shows the interest in the game
what WOULD be useful is if good "dark"/core games that are upcoming
curse mountain, conduit, hotd, madworld, dead rising:chop til you drop sell WELL ...
there are a few "core" games that are upcoming this year and if the upcoming core games sell well=more "core" games to wii, they sell Poorly= less core games and more minigamefests....
if the games are good, do your part to "force" publishers to put more core games on the wii, buy the games.
i've done my part, i have most of the "core" gun games for the wii
ghost squad, re:uc re4 links xbow nerf strike(game is decent) etc.
i will be getting conduit, madworld, hotd etc...
games sell ~500k+(provided they are quality titles) in the us alone= more core games for the wii gamer, games tank (sub 200k in the us)= less core games for the wii gamer, it is that simple.
cod:waw seems to be doing it's part.
