Yea just too many mediocre titles all the same time V_V, oh jeez what am I saying!?
=.= The game will sell to whoever wanted it, Onechambara looks cool though, just not sure... If I don't pick up Tenchu I may just forget about it and move on to March.
I'm Unamerica and you can too.

It's too bad this game didn't make it out during the holiday season. It probably would have done decently in the Wii's holiday vacuum, even with no advertising. The field is going to be too crowded in the next few months for this title to take off, even if reviews and word-of-mouth are positive. The best it can hope for is to sell steady in the very long term.

I think January would of been interesting, NMH took advantage of this, now if No More Heroes was advertized... hmm.
From what I understand Ubi published but Nintendo paid for and provided hotels for Suda51 himself to prantz around Europe signing games and pushing the game as hard as he could. V_V I remember thinking... "wait isn't Ubisoft the publisher?"

@ dib8rman
marvellous published it themselves in europe through their publishing company rising star. in europe the guys from rising star said they were very pleased with sales and that they believed they would get even better once they started the marketing campaign. i dont know what this consisted of but i did once find an advert in a magazine

Tenchu will hopefully be one of those games with legs. I could see it inching and inching week by week.
"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."
"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."
