Deadspace Extraction sales BOMBED

It seems a lot of complaints are from people who haven't actually played DS:E, and think that it being turned into a light gun game is some sort of compromise. Well you only have to look at its score to see that isn't the case. Its a very good game in its own right. Yes they could have mimicked the 360/PS3 editions, but what would have been the point in that? Then -like with Dead Rising- the game really would have been an inferior version, and would have sold poorly anyway. At least with Extraction, the storyline is different, it plays differently, there are 4 difficulty setting and other bonus' to aim for, AND it looks great. Easily one of the best Wii games around.

As for the sales, well if you don't advertise something, then it wont sell. And many people have the wrong opinion of the game, which is ironic because had Extraction been done on the 360 as well, it would have went down a treat.

Ive said this elsewhere too, but Wii games DONT sell in great numbersupon release, almost none of them do. The same "this game bombed" comments were made for everything from No More Heroes to Umbrella Chronicles to Mario Galaxy. But the sales remained steady, and when they drop in price the sales improve. As a result we have sequels on the way for all 3 games, yet they were all dubbed flops within the first week. Just too many people too eager to give the Wii a kicking.

So, just relax, its just the way things are. The 360 do these great GTA adverts that -like a movie- make you want to run out and experience it. The Wii doesn't, its more of a, wander into store and buy it on a whim kind of thing.

To those who wont buy Dead Space because they think its a cheap knock off, it really is your loss. It is not meant to be the same game- like Halo Wars- its a spin off, and nobody complained because that was different. You should be happy that you have something different to play and they built a game from the ground up purely for the Wii, rather than port aversion that would have always appeared sub par. If you still have that opinion on DS:E though, then thats down to your own ignorance. The scores don't lie.
