I think we all saw this one coming, sad as it is to say.

Word at NeoGAF is that Wayforward's remake of A Boy and His Blob has sold less than 10,000 units. Similarly, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for the PlayStation Portable has also sold under 10K, though apparently still more than ABAHB.

Granted, I'm guilty of not having bought it as well, and possibly for the same reason as many others: there have just been a lot of good and big games coming out lately. Even so, I hope I might manage to get this one at Christmas, or sometime soon at least.

Speaking of Christmas, maybe some parents and the like will get the game for their kids; it looks like it should appeal to a younger crowd at least visually, and maybe give them a taste of some good ol' fashioned 2D fun.

On another note, commenter Ravengamer at GoNintendo also makes a good point: "You know people have to understand that people don't just buy games all the time. You can rent them, play them over freinds [sic] house. [M]any people can't buy every game that comes out every week."

All said, I wonder what kind of numbers Majesco and Wayforward were hoping to bring in on this one. If I remember correctly, Wii titles are supposed to cost less to produce and hopefully yield better returns comparatively, so maybe the game will still do well enough?
