It’s not exactly a secret that publishers are watching the sales of hardcore Wii games. For Capcom, however, the sales of MadWorld are not too important.
“I think Wii fans look at it that way [MadWorld sales as a barometer], us, probably not as much as you guys. I hope it does well though. Success would be if it’s profitable for Sega. Given that I’m not sure what their production and marketing budgets were, I’d prefer to not hazard a guess…” – Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development
Even though Capcom isn’t really focusing on the sales of MadWorld, we know that there are other third-party companies out there that are. Hopefully the sales of the game are at least halfway decent…Otherwise, hardcore Wii owners could be in trouble.
