True, but if you want to look at it that way then you have to compare sales figures where it is also doing worse. Either or, take your pick.

Actually this happened only a few weeks ago with the patch installed.

That was not my experience, but I am willing to believe you are right.

That stupid "camera flash" excuse is probably one of the most completely and dumbfoundedly ridiculous things he could have come up with. How would the train conductor know he wasn't just some tourist taking a picture of the train?

So true. I think I was wowed more by that first cutscene than the entire rest of the game put together.

Well of course its not the first time in the history of the human race that a new product has come out and people don't know what it is. That isn't the problem, the WiiU marketing is the problem. Watch the commercial on YouTube and you will understand what I am trying to say.

"They're off to a shitacular start and it is all their fault because they barely marketed it, didn't market it correctly, and most "non-gamers" don't know what the fuck it is, or give a fuck what it is after either being told what it is or what the price is."

Where do you see that? There may be many listings on Ebay, but a quick analytics search shows that the ones that do sell (most don't) don't sell for much more than retail+tax.

False.

I am very apprehensive about articles like this because it is really difficult to understand a situation that you actually know almost nothing about. Not to mention the fact that we only get one side of the story (and she holds back the "zinger" until the very end). So in short, you can't really read too much into it.

I wonder if he knew and that is why he let her die...

The two versions are identical in XIII-2. Square was just having issues optimizing for the 360 way back when XIII came out.
