Theres not much to be disappointed at really. Its a niche 5 hour game with no replay value. Sure it had a decent marketing campaign, but no one could have thought a monochromatic game about killing people for sport would sell millions. SEGA surely profited from this, since the TV ads were a joint Gamestop venture. The profits may not be massive, but they certainly covered costs and made a little extra. Message | Report |

@ oni-link Oh my, I somehow struck a nerve. I can tell because you're using exclamation marks. You see this, "It's a lower investment cost with a chance of huge returns!!!" My point is the people at Sega are ignorant for putting such big investments on HD consoles. They can bring games of equal budget as Wii games and they'll sell. Their HD games have been unprofitable because they put too much money into graphics and they suck. You're right about one thing. You aren't a psychologist. Now calm down. This has nothing to do with Wii hate. I just hate the decisions Sega makes with HD consoles. And for the record. My comment about Sega hating money was in regards to their terrible HD decisions.

"I don't understand why Sega is trying to bring adult gamers to the Wii. Why not just bring those same adult games to consoles where they sell?

I don't understand why you feel so threatened or upset that a company would want to release an adult title for a console that is almost has a larger userbase than the HD consoles combined? I actually commend them for trying!!! It's a lower investment cost with a chance of huge returns!!! THQ, Ubisoft, Capcom, and yes Sega makes a lot of $$$$ of the Wii whether Wii haters like it or not!!! I'm not a psychologist but from all the post I've followed you on it seems like you want the Wii to fail? First many ppl like yourself diss the Wii for having too many shovelware but when a company releases a quality game you bitch again instead of appreciating it. There's no point in your arguments except that you seem to LIKE A COUPLE OF WII GAMES that aren't coming to 360 or PS3 and are complaining that it should be on 360 or PS3? Which only means that 1) You only own one or two of the HD systems and 2)You have an unhealthy feeling of animosity towards Nintendo particularly the Wii. I for one don't really care as I have the a 360 and a Wii so I could enjoy most game offerings that a company may offer for both the Wii and HD systems (most 3rd party titles are better on 360 than PS3 anyways IMHO).

Sega games selling poorly on HD consoles is completely Sega's fault. Have you seen the reviews for Viking, Sonic The Hedgehog (HD), Sonic Unleashed, and Golden Axe: Beast Rider? You don't think awful gameplay affects sales? HD games don't need to have the most outstanding graphics. We'll buy them if they're fun. The 360 version of Bully for example has almost sold a million and its a slightly enhanced PS2 port. Gun sold 250K in the US. I imagine world sales is 400K. And it looks awful. Warriors Orichi did 180K in the US with PS2 graphics. Perhaps 300K world wide. With that said I believe Madworld on the 360 could have easily outsold the Wii version with no graphical enhancements. Especially considering the Madworld became $30 after only a few weeks. Even The Conduit would have had more success on the 360 with no improvements. But nope, Sega insists on giving us big budget piles of crap. Message | Report |

Agreed to a point, except with the fact that Wii games are low risk because games considered "big budget" for Wii is actually low budget compared to the other HD consoles.

We have no actual proof that every game that uses the Unreal Engine goes over 10 million. Too Human might have. But it was brought to us by crap developers. I'd assume most of Sony's 1st party games go over 20 million because they appear to build the game engines from the ground up and focus highly on graphics. Sony is throwing money like crazy probably in hopes for a big hit. People say developing HD games is too expensive. But I always take into consideration the all around superior quality of HD games. Wii games in comparison look retro. Retro isn't bad, I just don't want to pay $50 for it. I don't consider the Wii low risk per se. I think the Wii allows for low budget projects to make money. Big budget games are obviously too risky for the Wii. Message | Report |

THQ's CEO Farell actually states and probably the reason for developing deBlob exclusive for Wii as it probably didn't cost anywhere near $5M to make that game for the system; but I would expect more bells and whistles if it came out on my 360 thus elevating devlopment cost for that system increasing risk!!!

Hmmm...I'm confused all the article said was that a typical PS3 game cost 3-4 times as much to develop than a typical Wii game. The main theme here is typical. As you and I agree that a lot of Wii games right now maybe 60% are shovelware with a typical low budget: ie Death Jr. Rygar, Wii Music etc. Thus these games probably won't even cost the same amount as a like a Muramasa, Madworld, Spyborgs, etc. But even high quality titles like The Conduit cost $5M to produce compared to Heavenly Sword that cost $20M (even though they can reuse the engine but haven't so far). Oh I did research on GoW and it's amazing that they were ABLE to make the game for $10M not counting advertising (which was massive seeing development was less than other titles). However, Epic failed to include the cost to develop the Unreal Engine that powers/runs most of the important aspects of that game! http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2007/02/interview_epics/ if another developer (Silicon Knights) was to license the engine from Epic it would be guaranteed to cost more than $10-12M it cost Epic!!! That's why I don't mind forking over $60 for the HD games as development cost for a quality title cost 2-4 times as much to develop than a quality last gen (I really hate that term can we come up w/something else) title like Wii, PS2, and PSP etc Message | Report |

@ oni-link I'm very reluctant to believe that article has much if any validity. Also you have to consider the quality of typical Wii games.

I think Wii games sell at a slower pace than the other systems because of all the shovelware Wii owners have to shift thru!!! Many Wii owners I know are cautious to buy 3rd party games as many of them end up as bad ports of established franchise (FarCry and Prince of Persia, Soul Calibur:Legends). Then there are the promised IP exlusives like Rabbids and Redsteel that left a sour taste in new gamers mouths. I blame Nintendo for not regulating control but how could any company do so? They too released a shovelware in Wii Music...yuk...I'm still upset blowing $20 on that game!!! Message | Report |

Wow it's hard to imagine that GoW only cost that much to develop!!! That amount is sooo close to last gen budget that I wonder how they did it? Maybe GoW2 could cost that much but the first one HAD to be a massive investment!!! I mean look at that game it's gorgeous and gives Sony's Resistance which DOES cost $20M to make a run for it's money. As for Conduit, I think the total budget included development and advertising but I could be wrong. Wario Land shake it!!! initially had a budget of a million set by Nintendo. However it ended up double that amount when the final game was released. Check the IGN for the interview regarding that game!!! Message | Report |

Why would I be butt hurt? Anyhow... I imagine a lot of Wii games are low risk and probably make a profit with only 100K sold. The Wii library is almost impossible to keep track of because of all the shovelware. But Madworld is not shovelware or a port. Essentially every point you made has no relevance to Madworld. And if Sega was content with the sales it was getting they wouldn't have dropped the price to $30 after a few weeks. You also presume every HD game has some sort of $20 million mega budget. Gears of War had a $10 million budget. I read Gears 2 was $12 million. It seems like most games recycle a game engine so that keeps cost down. The new Wolfenstein for example is basically using the Doom 3 engine. I also heard The Conduit had a $5 million budget. I'm just curious where the money went. I'm sure that number doesn't even include the advertising budget from Sega. Message | Report |

Easy bon'eits don't need to get butt-hurt mad!!! It's been a while since I took a look at NFS:Underground's #'s and when I did it was struggling to get to 200K like Madworld did! Well maybe 100K is a bit of an exagerration to turn a profit but most Wii games are such a low risk investment that a 100K sales will not hurt a publisher or developer as much if it developed it for the HD consoles. Case in point Medal of Honor: Heroes, Death Jr. , Rygar, BoomBlox etc those games are either ports or low budget enough to make a profit even if they only hit 100k lifetime. A game like conduit probably needs only a revenue of $5-7M to break nearly even which amounts to only about 130K-170K in sales at $50.

ok there was a LITTLE advertising but this game IS still selling quite well even if it drops to $20 selling at 500k IS still a profit for Sega as opposed to making a huge investment like Heavenly Sword, Lair, and Too Human which the lowest cost to develop one of those games was a staggering $20M which none of those games ever recouped their losses!!! Most Wii games only need to sell 100k to see a sequel (look at the NFS series). But going back to advertising maybe there was "Some" but I doubt Sega busted their piggy bank to advertised this game.

Goog sales, and I explain why. Certainy is a Hardcore game, but, furthermore, is a very unique game, and not as popular as other franchises in the industry. So, for a new type of Videogame is a good start. Dead Space for the 360 is not a million seller yet, and is a "Hardcore console", so keep in calm. Almost 300k are good numbres. And with over 340k THOTD: Overkill is doing also well. A lot of titles don't need to reach the million marck in ordre to be succesful!! Message | Report |

UpperTone, that was a very concise, mature observation. Most people making such an observation would do something such as "Screeew the Wii-ner, sux0rs!!! go NATAL!!! omg Wii sucks." What you say is sadly true. There are not many takers of hardcore games on Wii. I actually know many 'core' gamers who own Wii's, but many of them only get Ninty games (Mario, Zelda, Metroid) and stick to 360 for the 'core' games. It sucks for Platinum Games because this game looks awesome (plan on purchasing it when I get out of debt next month.) Message | Report |
