You got some NPD numbers or are you just guessing based on your own assumptions? I'm not being sarcastic here, I really would like to know.Quote:

The thing is, I don't think they were ever going for Fable or Madden. They might not sell a bucketload, but they might sell just enough to be profitable, and it's hard to tell that.Quote:

I just know that I keep hearing "Title X bombed horribly" only to be left wondering how that happened after it did, if not amazingly, at least well enough where I work.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to Alien Hominid. I'm going to have to let it wait a while rather than get it day 1, I think my game budget will be 100% busted by mid-October except for my leftover GTA cash, but it's definitely a post-Christmas title for me. Or pre-Christmas, overtime willing.

Looks like a crappy cartoon or something.
Is this a known game or something that's been around a while?
Beautiful. Someone send a copy to SNK with a "NYSTFU" post-it note slapped on.
Oh, and you girls will find an excuse to argue about anything, won't you? See, you need Diff. If he doesn't come in to make fun of you, then you just end up at each other's throats anyway. He promotes solidarity for you guys.
In my area, Metal Slug 3 sold out in a day in every store, and when they restocked, it sold out again.... it's doing ridiculously well and i wasn't able to get a hold of it until about 3 weeks ago. As for Guilty Gear, it's only been a week, and I see more and more people playing on Live, so I'm sure it's doing pretty well.Quote:
