This is a surprise?

Reminds me I need to buy Deadly Creatures before it vanishes from the shelves, though...

Also, don't forget that Wii games have legs.  Deadly Creatures has 8 legs, in some stages, actually.

I was about to ask the same thing.

ok ok, not onechanbara :) They said Deadly Creatures was being used as a barometer

Dear my ... of course no. BTW is funny how people still think on games bombing on the Wii just for the first week after this:

And this:

and some others

ya, wii legs ftw :P

They're not bombs until we know their sales after a month. YOu can't call them bombs yet...

I just ordener Deadly Creatures today BTW. Anyway Wii user base is different, they're not going to run the first day to buy a game; people should get used to that.

Wii users are not different.  They are the same, darnit.  Its the supply of these games that is the problem!  They are stockpiling.

How else could the consoles be in competition with each other if the users were different?

I was thinking the same thing.  Anyone with half a brain can figure out that Onechanbara is only going to appeal to hardcore otakus.  In Japan, the series has only been a moderate hit.  If it can only get that popular in Japan, then there is no way in hell the series will ever gain popularity beyond an incredibly small crowd.

I know amazon sales are laughed at, but I believe vgc counts on them to some degree, and when a game sells well according to NPD - it's usually tops on Amazon too.

The only discrepency I've seen is PS3 sales. For some reason they're high on Amazon but low in every other chart.
