My my. First the Factor 5 story and now this. Someone is feeling very defensive lately.

$40 for a 6 or so hour game? I will still wait for the $20 price point that seems to fit that game perfectly!

it's 30, very few Wii games start at 60 bucks.

Why are you assming pointing out something is defensive? I'm making sure all the facts are clear. That's reason enforcing, not defensiveness.

Besides, I don't even plan on getting the game (just not my thing).

A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Same developer, same genre... It flopped.

LOL, eh it's still worth a shot.

<.< that chart has Japan sales only. With Americas/Others taken into account it may have sold up to 500k. Definately not a flop.

Bad example to show what a "flop" it was given that its missing 2/3 the data.

I didn't say it flopped, just that a game that is selling up to expectations doesn't see a price drop within 6 months, let alone 2.

I have never, and I mean never, seen a third party game (on any console) retain it's original price 6 months after release. 90% of all third party games have price cuts within 3 months (at least where I live).

MadWorld is a low budget and short game. It should have been budget-priced from the start.

Noted.

However, just some perspective: CoD: World at War, Sonic and Mario at the Olympics, House of the Dead Overkill, Sonic and the Black Knight, Deadly Creatures, Star Wars: Lightsaber Deul, tiger woods 09, fallout 3, street fighter 4, tales of vesperia, 50 cent: blood in the sand.... etc. all came out before madworld. several of the games even came out in the fall and they are all still at full price.

Also, I wouldn't say Madworld is low budget. Unless, of course, you think all games that take under 6 hours to beat are low budget. In which case, I guess ICO and Mirror's Edge are low budget too.

Then you probably haven't played the game. The most expensive thing about MadWorld is probably the commentators.
