Glad you fellas liked it though!
Can you clarify that a little? IIRC, you're involved with Visceral so it would be interesting to know exactly what this means.
EDIT:
Ah, you mean this:
EA Games President Frank Gibeau believes that releasing Dead Space: Extraction on Wii "is a gamble", but that there is a market out there that the publisher believes will be "interested in the Dead Space: Extraction experiment."
"There has been some M-rated high-quality games released recently on Wii that we've taken note of," Gibeau said to Gamasutra, "and that's why I think Dead Space: Extraction is a gamble."
"It's a calculated risk. Can a high-quality experience like that that appeals to a more mature audience work on the Wii platform?"
"We spent a lot of research, time, and understanding that the customer dynamics of who's actually playing on the Wii, do they own multiple platforms, are there really gamers on the Wii, or is it mainly families and youth? But we think we've found a market on the Wii that would be interested in the Dead Space: Extraction experiment. We're going to take a gamble and build that market."
So, are you saying that the game hasn't sold well, so Wii gamers can forget any more content like this? Fantastic...
