Wii - MadWorld - Sega: Bayonetta Won't Suffer The Same Sales Fate As MadWorld From its inception, Platinum Games declared its games were being engineered with worldwide appeal. MadWorld struggled to find an audience earlier this year for reasons Sega hasn't yet figured out, according to recently appointed Sega president and COO Mike Hayes.

But Hayes doesn't believe Platinum Games' next release, the hyperkinetic Bayonetta from Devil May Cry creator Hideki Kamiya, will face the problems at release.

"I think there are clearly development differences between the two," said Hayes in a phone interview with me earlier this week. "On MadWorld itself, we're researching it as we speak to try and identify some of the causes behind that. I think Bayonetta comes from a background and a genre that's been already proven to be popular. I think with MadWorld we were trying to be so many different things probably all at once that maybe we pushed the envelope a bit too far."

Wii - MadWorld - Rumor - Gamestop Reducing MadWorld Cost While MadWorld didn't sell as much one would have thought given the hype, it still managed to earn an 81 on Meta Critic. If you're one of those (apparently many) who didn't pick up the game when it was released, you may get the chance to snag it for a reduced price.

Wii - MadWorld - Capcom Talks MadWorld, Hardcore Wii Gaming Kotaku writes: "With just 66,000 in sales MadWorld could serve as a warning to developers to stay away from hardcore games for the Wii, but Capcom's Masachika Kawata, says that's not the case for Resident Evil.

"I personally have no fear (about sales of Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles), Resident Evil is a massive brand on a worldwide scale and you can't really compare it to MadWorld," he said. 'Personally I do like MadWorld, I think it is a very unique game. I think we should be happy to be able to play a game like this. It's kind of disappointing that it didn't sell.'"

Wii - MadWorld - GamePlan: MadWorld Demonstrates Tenuous Link Between Web Hype And Sales There has been a great deal of speculation about the underwhelming retail performance of PlatinumGames' MadWorld, but now OTX research group GamePlan Insights has released detailed data illustrating the often-thin correlation between online acclaim and real-world retail success, particularly on the Wii platform.

As demonstrated by GamePlan's Nick Williams at the Los Angeles Game Conference, with slides made available to Gamasutra, the game's strong awareness among the hardcore online gaming community bore little relationship with its weak awareness among the wider gaming public.

For example, from January to March, the tracking metrics used by major consumer gaming site IGN.com pegged the bloody brawler as the Wii game with the highest level of unique interest, and by extension purchase intent.

Wii - MadWorld - Two failed launches plagues Wii - Nintendo: "Wii's current market is problematic" "SEGA and Hudson have in recent days and weeks realised that it remains difficult for some third-party developers coming to the Nintendo Wii.

The introduction of two of the firms new games, MADWORLD and Sports Island 2 ended up as regular failures in the U.S. and Japanese markets..."

"Sports Island 2 sold 2,500 copies on the first day
By comparison, the first game fared significantly better in its debut in Japan. Here were sold 30,000 copies the first day..."

"The news about the two game launches will follow in the wake of statements made by Nintendo itself, which describes the Wii's current market as problematic.

Wii - MadWorld - Madworld already dropping below £20 in UK DarkZero: "In what is likely to be some very bad news for Sega, although good news for us, Madworld has started dropping in price at many retailers across the UK - a sure sign that stores are having trouble shifting their stock.

This week it seems many outlets have saw fit to slash the price below the £20 mark. The price cut comes less than two weeks after the games launch, when the game was selling for around £29.99 - although the RRP was £34.99."
