The Wii-exclusive first-person horror shooter, Dead Space: Extraction has unfortunately sold under 9,000 units from its release in September. The game was developed by Visceral Games and was released on September 29th. The month that was tracked in sales was between September 29th and October 3rd according to the NPD. Jesse Divnich, analyst from EEDAR gave a quick comment to Next-Gen.biz.

“Electronic Arts didn’t market Dead Space Extraction as much as it does with other titles. And the success or failure of a Wii title usually correlates directly to marketing spend. If Electronic Arts spent little on marketing, I am sure the sell through was no surprise to them. So I do not believe sell through was a disappointment to EA.”

So, what will happen to the studio? Having only 9,000 units sold in one month is pretty depressing comapred to other Wii exclusive titles. Obviously the game wasn't marketed well enough as the previous installment of the original Dead Space. EA was contacted by Next-Gen.biz but recieved no response back yet.
