Let's wait for rough figures six months from now before we declare it a success or a failure, NMH sold rough 390,000 as of now and its getting a sequel. If Madworld in similar time frame sells 350,000 to 500,000, then we definitely can say it was a success especially for niche new IP, games don't need to sell a million especially on the Wii to break even and make a profit. As for PR Sega has shareholders and a parent company it has to answer to, so it actually hasto tell the truth andsay it did well enough so far. As for sales accuracy only the publisher like Sega can give 100% true numbers, since alot of you forget that NPD doesn't take numbers from online and Wal-Mart sales which is huge number they are omitting, so please don't take NPD as the final golden word of everything sales. They are good educated guesses from the figures they get but they are not perfect numbers either.

Fatal Frame 4 will come out in NA, you just have to get a petitions started and lots of letters
While I will still send quick e-mail, next week I am going to write regular old fashioned letter to NoA stating my opinion on their core gaming publishing. Personally I think regular letters make more of an impact then e-mails, so if anybody feels strongly about this take the time to write a letter. As for petition especially online for all the time it takes just sign it, even if it doesn't change a thing at-least express ones dissatisfaction to proper place.Its BS, the first three Fatal Frame games on the PS2 and Xbox where published in North America and the PAL countries for a reason, because they had a fan base and one large enough for Tecmo to make the first and its two sequels for the market outside of Japan. If Nintendo a much bigger and richer company is to cheap and lazy to publish out of Japan then they should have never bothered taking the publish rights from Tecmo. If by keeping this a Tecmo only meant maybe coming out on the PS3 or 360 as opposed to the Wii then that's fine, because it at-least mean that western fans of Fatal Frame would get to play the next installment. For Nintendo especially NoA, if it isn't family friendly, a GC port, or casual mingame Wii titled fest they won't publish, just look at Monolith games like Disaster: Day of Crisis for Wii or Soma Bringer for DS.
Those are reasons why I haven't bought any Nintendo titles since the end on 2007, my respective Nintendo systems since that time have been getting nothing but third party games. This is also something you wont often hear for a Nintendo console, thank god for third parties especially for this year in 09, otherwise I would have nothing to play for my Wii and DS. Third parties are making the games I want and enjoy unless Nintendo proves otherwise or has a change of heart and published such games as mentioned above, Nintendo especially NoA is on my black list.
The rumor is that we are getting two in one Resident Evil combo called Resident Evil: Archive here in North America, it consist of the RE GC remake and RE 0 in one box for $29.99. I'm usually not enthusiastic about ports but two good games in one for that price, why not its good deal especially if haven't played either. Its still a rumor and it has no solid link, this is the best I can give you.

No weapons is fine, but I do have a small worry that they won't be able to keep the action/intensity up the whole game without any weapons at all. I think everything looks amazing so I'm really just nitpicking in trying to find something wrong.

I'm pretty sure they maybe some way to dispose of some enemies, it just means you will have to be clever and use the environments in some form as opposed to hitting, stabbing or shooting anything that moves. Anyways I think this game will still be pretty intense having to outrun, out think, and out hide these monsters because you are just an ordinary guy, well at-least to me this will really ad up the fear factor.
