Also, think of it this way: it outsold both Pikmin and Mario Tennis. Sure they're Gamecube rehashes, but they're also $30, made by Nintendo, and not previously owned by a lot of Wii owners.
Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.
it might be the art in the game whenever i see a video of it it gives me a headache
thats the only reason im not getting it
It will do better, give it some time.
Nintendo still doomed?
Feel free to add me on 3DS or Switch! (PM me if you do ^-^)

Madword will do fine, its doing better than HOTD as a new IP and HOTD is on it's way to a million eventually
"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."
| kevin the wiiite said: on the "no wii in my area" thing, I hadn't seen it officially "in stock" ever until 3 weeks ago, and I know over 10 area friends with a wii, so that can't be why. Also, they didn't hide the game or anything, there were 2 copies in the new release section and behind the counter there were three stacks of discs, with one stack one lower than the others. I thought the box art was pretty appealing. No blood, cool jumping guy with chainsaw, etc. |
Then why didn't you buy it or tell your friend to get it.
| thekitchensink said: To be honest those numbers are fairly in line with a lot of predictions on here (though sadly, not mine). Hopefully the sales can stay somewhat constant, a la Call of Duty: World at War Wii. That started out around the same amount (less?) and is now over a million and still going steadily. |
I recall a few madworld predictions in the 500k region actualy.
edit : lol I was wrong it was just you.
Anecdotal evidence for the win!

| kevin the wiiite said: based on the first week sales, about 50k, and a recent talk with a gamestop employee, madoworld seems to have flopped and/or not sold well. Here's how the conversation went. me: Please tell me Madworld's been selling well. him: To be completely honest, we've sold one copy. (this was 4 days after it came out.) me: you've got to be kidding me! him: yeah, there isn't really a following for that kind of thing around here. I'm personally very unhappy about this. What about you guys? |
lol, never trust anything a Gamestop employee ever tells you. Some of the dumbest people work there and some of the funniest stories I've ever heard start with "my local Gamestop manager said..."
I know you think you're buddy buddy with them but they're still stupid and regularly lie to your face.
Yay for jumping to conclusions! The game hasn't been out a full week yet. Wii games usually don't have big releases other than Nintendo produced games. It's very common for Wii game to show strong legs and continue selling. It also hasn't released outside North America yet. I'm sure in a week after another week of NA sales and then Others sales, it'll be up to 125,000 or so.
Watch one week from now, you'll see I was right.
I'll come up with something better eventually...
