MadWorld sells 66K in March, Sega oddly pleased

—

Call us crazy, but we always thought that the idea behind making games was to sell tons of copies . Not so for Sega, as it seems weirdly satisfied with MadWorld 's lackluster sales, based on comments to Gamasutra . Debuting early in March, Platinum Games' over-the-top brawler only managed ...

Coffee Talk: Nintendo’s March NPD Reports Contrary to Critical Acclaim, What’s The Deal?
Geekadelphia — ... What does this all mean for you Geekadelphians who actually want some more bloodshed in Nintendo’s two best selling systems of this decade? Find out after the break. Before we get into some of  the questions sprouting from this phenomena or what it means for the future, let’s talk more numbers. Sega’s MadWorld, a hyper stylistic (and hyper violent) title for the Wii, released in March and sold only 66,000 copies, again, despite critical acclaim. The House of the Dead: ...

MadWorld, HotD: Overkill now $30 on Amazon
Joystiq [Nintendo] — ... Sega's MadWorld and House of the Dead: Overkill are currently being sold at $20 off at Amazon. It doesn't appear to be a flat-out price drop for the two games, which have sold ... well, that's up for interpretation. We've also noticed that MadWorld is currently $30 in-store at GameStop. Remember: Purchasing these titles will get more M-rated games on Wii and further research into splicing wings on pigs.

But, what you may not know is that some of the over-the-top violence originally conceptualized was a bit too violent for the game disc that's not been spinning in your Wii for the last few months. Past the break, you'll find a deleted finishing move, one we must warn you is one of the most violent things you will ever see. We know the majority of MadWorld is tongue-in-cheek, but this is like tongue-in-meat-grinder-while-being-stabbed kind of gruesome. Don't say we didn't warn you! ...

MadWorld headed to Japan, not being published by Sega
Joystiq [Nintendo] — ... Even though Sega was kinda proud of MadWorld's initial sales performance, the company has decided it won't handle publishing duties for a Japanese version of the game. Famitsu reports that the game will be available in Japan sometime this Winter courtesy of Spike, a company well-versed in violent video games. Hopefully it won't get a crash course in lackluster sales. [Via Go Nintendo] ...
