Ubisoft Sells Out of No More Heroes!

link

this is a good first step to showing Suda 51 that we actually do like his games!

I believe amazon.com is also sold out until January 31st.

EDIT: Well they were sold out the week it came out. Now they're back in stock. My bad.

selling out means nothing without knowing how many there were to begin with.

and yes its the same for everything, not just this

they are holding back copies to build hypemingo123

What hype? They don't even advertise the game.. The only thing I can see is XPlay showing the game and giving it a 5/5 which most likely attracted some sales, Besides that the only people who really know about this game are those who visit websites like GS.

they still had to have made at least 100,000 if not 200,000 copies just based on making profit........How many copies they made would be what they needed to turn a profit. It is only if the first copies do not sell do they not make any money.

Not every game has to sell a million to make money...

Yeah. God forbid you even consider it is selling well and in high demand. It's either 'building hype' or very few copies made. It could NEVER EVER just be selling well, could it?

It does mean the game doesn't sell worse then expected.. That is a positive thing...

Numbers sold are relative too expactations, so numbers doesn't means less then that the game didn't do worse then expected.. If halo 3 sold 1 million at launch that would be bad.. If No more heroes sold 1 million at launch that would be frakin amazing..

Numbers are all but irrelevant when showing positive and negative sides of things..

That's good, I would love it if niche, wierd titles like Trauma Center, No More Heroes, and Zack & Wiki become common-place on the Wii. Honestly, I'd rather have that then the glut of mediocre shooters on the HD systems (i.e. Blacksite: Area 51, Timeshift, Soldier of Fortune: Payback, Medal of Honor: Airborne, Shadowrun, Call of Juarez, etc.).

AMEN!

I love how I get niche titles on the Wii. Best part of the system.

I was hyped for no more heroes but I can't find a copy anywhere.

Luckily burnout paradise is A LOT better than I thought it would be so that should hold me over.

I would agree with you if the sheep were assuming this meant millions of copies have been sold.

However I disagree that it means nothing, as with games, they print only as many as they think there will be demand for. The fact that the game is selling out (in certain places anyway) shows that demand has been higher than expected. That is surely a good thing.

SO what console are you talking about? I would love to know....

This is good news. Means it is selling more than expected. It explains why I can't find a copy

Maybe this will encourage them to advertise the game now?

In Japan his focus on the ways of outsiders makes him an outcast and his games are snubbed.JiveT

I'm seriously thinking you're just trying to bring out a parody of this.

The only question is if it changes Suda's hate for the Wii market.ArcticSnake

I think he was talking about the gamers in Japan, but I might be wrong.

Rather, he is talking about how he dislikes that Nintendo games are the only games that seem to sell well and he gets on about this whole "hardcore/casual" thing.

I doubt too many copies were shipped. nintendofreak_2

Selling more then expected is also good... even if it's only 5 copies...

I don't see anyone saying Millions sold... other then that yes.

Now there really are No More Heroes.:PGreyhound222

ROFLMAO omg that was the funniest thing I read all day, so lame, yet so brillant ^_^

Wow that's good to see. I'm still waiting to buy mine :(

After the dismal sales in Japan, they must not have expected a lot of demand and not manufactured alot of copies.whocares4peace

let's hope that this doesn't cripple nmh's sales. I mean, the game is hot now, but if it takes weeks to make the extra copies then they might miss out on a lot of potential sales.

I think that the same thing happened to zack and wiki. I could not find the game anywhere, nobody had any copies for weeks and weeks, and surprise surprise. Bad sales

I had to go out today and went to Walmart and Gamespot....Both of them had copies in stock
