well your rant doesnt alter the fact that madworld would have sold better on the PS360...

I think the fact this is a 5 hour game would have hurt it's sales on PS360 just like it does on Wii. You just have to look at Mirror's Edge's sales to see that short length really hurts game sales.

 

Mirror's Edge is a very different game. But it will have had more lifetime sales than Madworld on either console.

Eitherway I don't think its a the short campaign that's keep those games from selling well. CoD 4 and World at War weren't exactly long games either.

 

You're an idiot and I'm going to let u figure out why yourself.

Here's a clue.

Did it take you five hours to finish Call of Duty 4? Really? I have some trouble believing that, since I've poured in a good fifteen hours and an perhaps one tenth of the way through the game.

A valid point, but I think he was referring to the incredible replay value online multiplayer brings to those titles.

EDIT: That may be what you were referring to, but it wasn't made very clear and it rather seems that you're suggesting that the single player is a lot longer than five hours.

ofcourse madworld would have sold more on the HD systems.. its an entirely different matter that we WONT EVER see a port on ps360. Just coz madworld doesnt sell a milion it dont mean nothing.

its already nearing at 200k so I think it will sell 500k LTD is a good possibility not bad for a platinum game, starter IP, M-rated, wii title



Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

5 THINGS I'd like to see before i knock out:

a. a AAA 3D sonic title

b. a nintendo developed game that has a "M rating"

c. redesgined PS controller

d. SEGA back in the console business

e. M$ out of the OS business

That was what I was referring to, finishing the campaign of an FPS is not finishing the game. And yeah, it's around four to five hours. But it's damned good.

Also, turns out I've only been playing for nine hours. Hmm. But add five hours for the campaign, and I was pretty close.

The Wii doesn't sell third party M-rated new IPs without Nintendo mascots confirmed!
