Not the price. It could be because Playboy requested and received nude images of the main characters for a spread in their magazine. The info is making it's way around the interweb while we are posting. This may be enough to get some guys interested in the game.

Are you serious? LOL This is actually a very good marketing move.

Before you know it, the next thing we are going to see is full frontal male nudity in a videogame. Call me crazy if you will, but it's bound to happen.

What I'm waiting for is Karma Sutra Positions: The Game compatible with the Wii Balance Board. That thing would fly off of the shelves.

Tell me how Amazon can get it so right when clearly UK charts got HOTD at no.10???

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

House of the Dead:Overkill was #13 in the UK (All formats, Full price), so that one isn't bombing for sure.

If publishers see Deadly Creatures as a test, they simply don't have a clue. It's a new IP about a spider and a scorpion which doesn't have clear gameplay. And I'm pretty sure it will sell 500k in the end, which should be more than sufficient.

But that whole test thing is bullshit anyway. Most publishers will have to have stuff in development right now or lose out on 50% of the market.
