If you care for it so much then why don't you go and buy it?

i will. but when i can get it for 30$. i dont have money right now T.T

Why does the OP forget Wii game sales can't be judged by the first few months?

Yet again Sega said they are happy with the sales and these guys even when at Capcom as Clover studios never had a game sell great even though given great reviews.

I think there is some kind of "hardcore" game that just can't sell a lot, whatever the console. We usually call them niche. But some niche game can sell very well for what they are, other can sell bad.

I don't thing Madworld will flop and bomb completly, but obviously it will not sell good for a niche game. I'm not very surprised with these sell, but I'm still vera disapointed. I though it could do very good ( Somewhere better than No more heroes). I just hope it sell well enough for more mature games from Sega.

I Think that the Conduit ans House of the dead will sell good and that Sega will try to make safer bet with their mature games. Unfortunately, Madworld is gonna be the last of its kind from Sega...

Hey guys! Haze is da shit and will sell millions!!!

No it won't you stupid $ony fanboy.

Ohhh noes its otay but sales suck. Too big budget and got in over their head *cry cry cry*

No it won't you stupid Nintenbot fanboy.

Ohhh noes its Great and it will sell alot more with legs. Plus it doesn't cost much to make and advertising (Apparently) is free!!!! (Enter excuses here)*cry cry cry*

=====================================
At least we can admit we were wrong and eat crow. Some people think Nintendo can do no wrong and is my only beef with them this generation. Hell even Haze is doing halfway decent at the new price point. MadWorld will have better legs but will suffer due to price until it becomes $20-$30. Yes it is in fact cheaper to make MadWorld than Haze (Obvious).

Don't look too much into this as it is an over generalization of a typical fanboy view of one another. This doesn't speak for all Nintendo fans and all Sony fans.

The is a difference in Fanboys and Fans. Fans are grown up and know how to discuss such topics and see two sides of a coin. Fanboys are just... well boys... fighting over the damn coin!

I'm a cheapass gamer. I agree with this, but not only for wii games, but all games. One of the main reasons why Madworld bombed, is the price tag. $50 dollars for a 5 hour game is just ridiculous. I'm dying to play the game, since i'm a huge fan of GodHand, but i'll wait for a price drop, like i do for most games. The good thing about Wii games that are third party is that they fall in price really fast.

It didn't bomb. It just had an opening that wasn't spectacular. How many of you just didn't pay attention to long terms sales of Wii games?

I think the original post is full of win. Bitching Wii gamers always complain about the lack of "real" games as they put it. But not one of them ever invest in them when they come. Got no right to complain when things like this occur.

Really I'm ok with the sales on these games being sub par (if Madworld ends up that way) but if I know I don't get sequels from these because of hypocrites on forums, then that is what really pisses me off. I have no problem being in a minority of hardcore Wii gamers. I do however have a problem with people acting as if they are on that same level with me and have no follow through. Enough said.

There's a lot of contributing factors, part are the game's fault, part are the audience

The game is not mainstream on any level at all. Not on a Mario Kart level nor a Halo level. It's extreme violence with tons of swearing and a style that is far from the norm. It'll never have mass appeal. It is definitely niche. Also new IP.

Having said that I think there is a market for this on Wii.

The Wii is a family console and most owners have wives. kids or are themselves women. There's no way this is getting played in front of the women and children (some women will be exceptions and may love it but we're talking avg non-gamer Wii Fit wife here). Most families have a budget and the misses is having a say on which game gets bought. Mr Wii owner may want MadWorld but he may have to wait for his birthday to get this game that only he will ever play (and chances are it won't be the gift his wife or kids bought for him, hope he was a brother). Also Mr Wii may decide to get a game that he can play anytime instead of one where he has to wait for everyone else to go to bed first. Lastly, it's expensive. $55 (Cdn) for a 6 hour game with little replay value and severe restrictions on when it can be play and only daddy wants it vs buy a game like Mario Kart that everyone will play all the time, or 2 $30 games that everyone can play all the time, or 3 $20 games....

You start to see the problem. There is a market for it. Some guys are desperate for something more manly on their Wii, but if it's a shared console (and most are) he'll likely have to wait to get it. It'll become a much easier sell to the wife at $30.
In the meantime, House of the Dead will have to do and she can play too.
