The guys from Sega are idiots. They are happy with like 70k in sales, but need to sell two to three million copies to make money from MadWorld. They fail at maths.

Sega don't care *that* much about retail sales - they care about retail shipments. Good chance to 250k units have already been shipped (if not more) - and if they can make $15/unit, that's a tidy $4m in revenue.

No they don't. Any amount of sales will generate profit on a Wii game, no matter how low the sales

/sarcasm off

The crowd reaction still gives me goosebumps.

and even if you don't want to release a retail game you can instead release a uber cheap wiiware game. just look at world of goo. it really only needed about 1k sales to turn a profit (assuming they got 10 bucks from every 15 buck game sale.) their development budget was just under 100k ($96,000 bucks i think).

So they are happy with the initial amount they've shipped?

It's listed right below "NPD Talk", so it's probably refering to sellthrough according to NPD.

 

No, NPD hasn't released anything for March, nor will they early to anyone.  Sega is happy off shipments.  Just bad placement by whoever we copy and pasted this from.  I'm guessing the game shipped a decent amount in the first couple of weeks.

I could be wrong, but I think sales can be reported to all paying customers at any time. It'd be pretty stupid to pay a large sum of money to get info a mere ~day earlier than the public, granted it's far more detailed and covers everything(rather than top 10/30/etc.) Obviously Sega can't release exact information, but they should be able to comment about it.

 

Still it probably is about shipments.

Eh, if that was the case then why does NPD sometimes have to delay their data releases for days?
