And what does that have to do with anything being discussed in this thread?

drboot is hellbent on trying to make CoD:WaW Wii out to be some kind of failure and none of what he's saying is even relevant to the thread. Just ignore him.

When I went to purchase Deadly Creatures, my EB Games had about 20 copies--anecdotal?

But yeah, the game needs to be advertised during cartoons. Kids love bugs, andthey have great pull with the parents

im actually thinking of buying deadly creatures today.
i was going to buy dead rising next week, but now im not going to.

 Buy Deadly Creatures, you would likely had been disappointed by DR:CtYD.

ya, thats why, i dun wana be disapointed and feel like i wasted my money.

im just waiting for my gamestop to get FE:SD in :'( just one more hour

 FE:SD comes to my GS this afternoon.. too bad I can't get it til about 7.

So because it has a small fraction of sales that inherently means it's unprofitable? Even if development costs are a tiny fraction of the other SKUs? You do realize that 800k+ sales is 800k+ more than zero sales (on its way to well over a million), which is what would have happened had you been running the show (shortly before being fired for incompetence).

And your other argument is entirely foolish and ill-thought (and has nothing to do with the matter at hand): are you saying that if someone is making $200 a week that a 5% increse is something to laugh off? You do realize that most people don't see 5% pay increases year-on-year, yes? Do you even have the barest grasp of basic economics?

Finally, your (insipid) argument basically boils down to: "I don't like the Wii so I think Activision (and everyone else) shouldn't bother developing games for it, regardless of how much money they stand to make." Sound illogical? That's because it is and it is precisely what you are saying.

Now feel free to come back and try to explain away all the fallacies and idiocy you've already spewed--it'll be fun when, rather than simply admitting you don't have a leg to stand on, you dig a deeper hole in a vein attempt to 'prove' your point.

Note: I apologize to individuals like Viper1 who are paying you the courtesy of being a thinking human being but I am simply tired of the distortions, contortions and 'if I believe it it must be true' stupidity that seems to pass for reasonable argument by individuals such as yourself. If you want to troll, go right ahead but at least make a feeble attempt at passing off some sort of marginally well-constructed strawman rather than this insipid, half-baked, 'analysis' that would get you laughed out of any Econ 101 course on the face of the earth.

 Buy it. It's rulesness. Dead Rising looks as if it will actually be mehish.
