Despite the poor sales of House of the Dead: Overkill and MadWorld, Sega still has plenty of publishing love set aside for mature games on the Nintendo Wii.
Despite some signs of trouble earlier this year, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime told Kotaku why third-parties have a bright future on Wii and DS.
High Voltage chief creative officer Eric Nofsinger explains why The Conduit won’t suffer the same poor sales as Sega’s other core Wii titles, MadWorld and The House of the Dead: Overkill.
With just 66,000 in sales MadWorld could serve as a warning to other developers to stay away from hardcore game development for the Wii, but Capcom’s Masachika Kawata, says that’s not the case at all for Resident Evil.
People like us talk a lot about video games. We read the news, scour forums, watch trailers, download screenshots. But a piece on Gamasutra reminds us how small a part of the market “we” are.
NPD sales numbers procured by Gamasutra reveal that Sega’s M-rated tongue-in-cheek blood bath MadWorld sold 66,000 copies in the U.S. following its March launch, and the publisher feels encouraged.
