	novasonic posted 09/11/2009, 08:49 I wouldn't be surprised if this inches it's was up to 400k. Not too shabby, unless of course they shoveled piles of money into this. Then they got screwed. Message \| Report
	oni-link posted 07/11/2009, 01:30 chris_wing posted 06/11/2009, 02:23 I $20 want it. Yeah, that's the price I;m waiting for also!!! Really the avg Wii game should be selling @ $40 anyways instead of $50. The only $50 Wii game worth my $$$ are Zelda, Mario, FF:CB, & MH3. The rest deserve $40 or below!!! Message \| Report
	oni-link posted 07/11/2009, 01:25 @chris bro look @ my previous post...I said it would be foolish for EA to release this game on the PS360!!! Message \| Report
	chris_wing posted 06/11/2009, 02:26 @ oni Light gun games don't work on HD tv's. The only way it would go to ps360 is if it were to use their new motion controls for pointing. Message \| Report

	oni-link posted 01/11/2009, 07:44 anyways if EA manages to sell 100k or so copies of this game they should be able to recoup if not make a little profit from this endeavor. Seeing that it's already reached 60K that shouldn't be a problem! Message \| Report
	oni-link posted 01/11/2009, 07:42 reaver, it would probably be a bigger loss for EA to port this game to either 360 or PS3. Not only will EA have to boost up or completely redo the visuals to match/compete with other products on the HD consoles but how many successful light gun games have done well on those systems? Not only do you need a seperate controller (I don't have a light gun for my 360) but the original Dead Space was only marginally successful in terms of recouping the cost of development if you look at sales for the individual consoles (not combined).

	reaver_x posted 31/10/2009, 03:16 they should port this to the PS3/360 then it will get the sales it deserves Message \| Report
	roycar69 posted 30/10/2009, 12:30 When I went buy this game I had to ask the cashier to get it for me from the back. Well I went back a week later and they still have not put them out. How are you going to sell a game if it's not out on the shelf? Message \| Report
	oni-link posted 28/10/2009, 12:29 should be a slow burner like Madworld and HOTD:overkill. If it sells 100k by the end of the year it should be ok! Message \| Report
	Fernicum posted 26/10/2009, 11:57 It's the first year EA truly focuses on Wii. We should expect better games coming out from them in their second and third generation Wii games. Look at their Sports games doing well on the Wii. Those development teams have had a long experience with Wii development while this is Visceral's first. Message \| Report
	Hobowan posted 26/10/2009, 08:58 i think its a real shame for visceral, as they obviously put a helluva lot of effort into developing this, and its production values, audio, visuals and ambiance should be applauded. i think this fell down badly on the publishing side - a lack of advertising brought this game to its knees imo. the fact its a rail shooter didnt bother me at all - i loved this game and think everyone should grit their teeth and enjoy it for what it is. you can get it cheap anywhere and is well worht the £25 most places have it for now (not that you could ever find it in a shop...)

	oni-link posted 23/10/2009, 08:49 I think this game, HOTD:Overkill and RE:DC are eating sales from each other. I am not to worried about this game as deBlob sold much worse on it's opening day and it ended up selling more than 500k to date I believe. If this game could sell half of that it should be ok!!!

	Arfen posted 21/10/2009, 07:22 I'm going to buy this!! I would prefered an adeventure like the first Dead Space, non an on-rail shooter. Bad for me that this game comes completly in english. But still a really very good game!! Message \| Report
	adam84 posted 21/10/2009, 12:06 @MarioGalaxy your spot on, hotd overkill did 33k in its first week and this did 30k. over the holidays it will easy get 150k. not bad at all. Message \| Report
	MarioGalaxy posted 21/10/2009, 09:41 For me this sales are quite good. Just give time to this game. Let's wait for the Xmas, when this an other mature games 'll increase in sales. Mature games on the wii usually needs long time to sell well. See House of the Dead and Madworld as an example of this situation. 400k copies sold for House of the dead and conting (in less tjan a year) is quite good, isn't it? Just Wait!! And, EA, please, don't condem wii users just for the sales for Dead Space!!!! Message \| Report

	Chrizum posted 20/10/2009, 11:07 Not really overtracked. 19k is for the full first week, NPD only tracked the first 3 days, and USA only. Maybe it's overtracked by 4k or something equally insignificant. Message \| Report
	bmmb1 posted 19/10/2009, 04:22 "Dead Space a flop and Muramasa sees pretty well sales. Who had expected this?" - I did, and many others as well. They created a game that not many wanted. The fact it turned out to be a relatively good game doesn't change the fact that no one really wanted it. Message \| Report
	z101 posted 19/10/2009, 12:47 Dead Space a flop and Muramasa sees pretty well sales. Who had expected this? :) I think most shooter fans with a Wii are waiting for Darkside Chronicles. Message \| Report
	a3hmax posted 18/10/2009, 05:51 Really incdredible, just need more durability. Argument fits perfectly with dead space, and leave more "open doors" to continue the plot. Message \| Report
	GianCarmen posted 17/10/2009, 05:13 Played the game, beat it in about 5-6 hours. One of the best on-rail games. Only worth a rental. If they had online co-op. Maybe it would be worth the 50 dollars, but as is its not. They need to stop with the on rail games and give us a damn third person shooter. Message \| Report

	DOLBYdigital posted 15/10/2009, 04:43 No sorry people but this game is doing really bad for how much advertising I have seen on non gaming sites. It is a really fun game too with lots of challenge and a very well done story, voice acting and atmosphere. Great co-op action as well! Shame we won't be seeing anything like this again. My guess is more people are waiting for RE:DC but I think DS may be the better light gun game in the end. Time will tell though, I'll have them both :) Message \| Report

	famousringo posted 09/10/2009, 09:29 The heavily saturated rail shooter market on Wii is full of games which are either cheap or carry an established IP. Dead Space is neither cheap, nor an established IP. I'm sure this loss won't cost EA too much, though I don't know why they're so insistent on pushing this IP, which is having a hard time gaining traction on any platform or in any genre.

	guy327 posted 09/10/2009, 08:13 I really dont get it, i am pretty disappointed with these sales. I dont think advertising was the issue, at least not in US i saw commercials on tv advertising in most big gaming sites, on hulu and others. So i think is just the Wii retail space is so saturated with crap and retailers pushing it, that nobody notice there is actually good games on to play. Message \| Report

	DOLBYdigital posted 02/10/2009, 03:01 Great light gun game that has the best story, voice acting, and atmosphere I've seen in that genre. I also like that it is very challenging, especially on the Impossible setting. Very fun co-op with excellent replay value and a long story. Just an overall fun game that should sell much more than it will. It deserves 500k at the least but I would be surprised if it goes above 300k lifetime which is ashame :( Message \| Report

	MarioGalaxy posted 01/10/2009, 02:40 7000 units in Others is good, specially because only was on sale for one day, so expect a rise in sales for the next week. May be 'll be at 14-20k in Europe for the next week. Message \| Report

	DOLBYdigital posted 30/09/2009, 01:52 Wow.... All I have to say is I only played the first 2 levels and already it is very high on my light gun game list. I am a big fan of the genre and this game seems set to blow it open story wise. Voice acting, script and story are very good and it is actually quite challenging which is excellent. I will post my updated impressions after playing this all night! Any game that has 4 or more levels of difficulty with the last one being Impossible is alright in my book Message \| Report

	oni-link posted 01/11/2009, 07:42 reaver, it would probably be a bigger loss for EA to port this game to either 360 or PS3. Not only will EA have to boost up or completely redo the visuals to match/compete with other products on the HD consoles but how many successful light gun games have done well on those systems? Not only do you need a seperate controller (I don't have a light gun for my 360) but the original Dead Space was only marginally successful in terms of recouping the cost of development if you look at sales for the individual consoles (not combined).
