Dead Space Extraction sales may influence EA’s decision to produce more mature Wii games
September 3rd, 2009 Posted in News, Posted by Valay, Wii“One of the explanations we have is that there’s a lot of double ownership. So people having a Wii and a 360 and/or PS3. They’re really playing different types of games on those two machines, and historically up to know we assume those people will have played the more mature content on the more high-tech machine. Dead Space: Extraction is going to be a very nice test of that hypothesis, because we’re really building a game where the Wii version is very different to the Dead Space game on 360 and PS3, and we’ll actually see whether we can reach more people with a) a great game and b) interesting content. If that’s not going to work, then obviously the whole proposal from our point of view at least of more mature games on the Wii just does not work.” – Dr Jens Uwe Intat, European VP at Electronic Arts
Whether or not you’re interested in horror titles, I think most of us can agree that Dead Space Extraction is a quality game. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean EA will see positive sales. We’ll have to see how the game performs, but I do hope it sells more than MadWorld.

well, with Silent Hill SM being delayed now, this might be my October title to pick up. Too bad about Silent Hill, i was really looking forward to picking that up. But with NSMB wii and Modern Warfare coming out in November, i cant afford it. I wanted it soo bad for a halloween game. Oh well…..

Yeah, Silent Hill is the perfect Halloween game in my opinion. But you can’t go wrong with Dead Space Extraction!

Careful Valay, if the conduit or madworld has taught us anything, its that one shouldn’t judge a game before playing it, although I will say it’s looking pretty damn good, but I’ve been burned before.
