Well I said from the beginning that Madworld was going to be hard sale... on any platform. It's hard to imagine it could have done any better on PS360. Bloody hack and slash with a black and white art style... that's a hard sale to anyone other than the loyal followers of the industry.

Good to see Conduit sales are going smoothly.

I would charge more of the low sales on the short length of the game than platform or art style personally. 3 hour game for full price? No thanks.

I agree.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

That interviewer really wanted Sega to say something negative about the Wii.

SEGA! <3

Yeah. Imagine in the early 1990s that Sega would one day be defending a Nintendo product. That would be like the Fresh Prince being a two-time Oscar nominee and someone from In Living Color actually winning one.



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

Professional journalism at its finest. Every Wii related interview I read is the same...


I have seen plenty of similar interviews too. It's like the interviewers are robots programmed to only ask a few select questions over and over.



I LOVE ICELAND!

Good to hear that Sega is pushing more games through for the Wii.

Oh man. Two great shows.

although they seem pleased and I obviously don't know what the trade off would be, I still think Overkill price was too high, especially coming from HotD 2&3



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

Two older games. The porting costs would not be as high as making an original game.

so they sold 150k of 300k copies they shipped yet...
hmmm is it overtracked by 50k?

Could be.

Or it could also be that he's only talking about NA figures, or he's using data that's a couple weeks old, or he's fudging the numbers, etc. Too many possibilities to know for sure.

For what it's worth, in another interview he said sellthrough was OVER half of the 300,000 .

There you have it, folks, straight from the horse's mouth.

The. Conduit. Is. A. Success.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?
