Selling badly... My Arse!
Quoted from the best darn website out there:
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is doing surprisingly well in the UK XBOX charts, drawing up a healthy third place behind Mercenaries. Unfortunately, there are always some who heed no warning about such games...

:
1 STAR WARS: REPUBLIC COMMANDO
2 MERCENARIES
3 ODDWORLD: STRANGER'S WRATH
4 STAR WARS: KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC 2
5 SONIC MEGA COLLECTION PLUS
6 PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER 4
7 HALO 2
8 DEAD OR ALIVE ULTIMATE
9 PLAYBOY: THE MANSION
10 COLD FEAR
Source
Just for kicks..
I have SW, Halo 2 and Kotor2 from that list - but I really want Republic Commando and Pro Evo 4 as well. Oh, and thank God Fifa is no longer there.

Well we're not on the charts at all in Oz http://www.xboxworld.com.au/charts/index.php but then, no one knows the game is out.

Oh, and am I the only one that assumed that it was your arse that was selling badly?

That is great news. Hopefully it will wake EA up here in the US.

I'm still revolted that EA didn't promote the game better in the US and in Australia
but am I glad Europe is saving the day

Good to see Stranger's Wrath isn't doing poorly in Europe. But then the promotions were larger (and actually existed). I still have yet to find any spec of SW promotion material in any gaming store over here in Oz.

the game was mentionned in the newspaper of today... that's the proof it's actually popular over here. And they liked it very much too

except they tought it was coming on PS2 and that it was Owi's 3rd game
