Thus the consequence for next Silent Hunter to get more sales in the US is to include more virtual heroes. Anatomically modelled still near to a type of Rambo or Conan and also with the voices of Arnold and Sylvester. The two then saves the world alone as Commander and CI in their Balao class submarine.

This could be a valuable idea. Don’t mention it twice cause it could happen to be taken seriously by UBI.

From what I know the American fight with aliens and saved the world/ blast a terrible meteor that come our way and save the world/ fight with dragons and save the world/ fight the Germans and save the world/ fight the Russian and save the world/ fight in Iraq and perhaps… will save the world too.

I remember from my grandfather stories how desperately the Americans where waited in Romania after 1944 (mainly because the people here where so frightened by the Russian Army). The bad thing is that the Americans never come in Romania during WWII after the Romanians turn the weapons against Germany.

Now they have a base in Constanta… they finally arrive after 45 years of communism + other 13 years of cosmetic communism after the ‘90ies.

Americans are made to be heroes. Too bad that other nations doesn’t have this pride and don’t love their flags as the Americans loves their one.

So I understand finally US need for heroes. They have movies with fire fighters/ with cops/ with hokey player/ with football player and perhaps if they will make a movie with carpenters everybody would like to become a carpenter.

America rock's!

I'd like to see a reliable sales figure. 26000 sounds low - I would have thought the 80000 figure was closer. But without confirmation it's anybody's guess.

Either way 26000 or 80000 are not big sales, and whether it made a profit or not depends on how many man hours were put into the project, and and what kind of deal the developers had with the publishers / distributers. Again, without this information it's guesswork.

It would be interesting to know if this was sim successful, although a few months ago there as an article on a US based website that it was in the top ten worst selling games...

Well, there's this carpenter, this Jesus guy. I believe they made movies about him. :P

He's pretty popular in the US as far as I know.

Well... that guy was definitely a hero... after I saw the hack and slash from Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ� why in the nine heavens I should want to be him!?!

Does anybody have the sales figures for Canada? The price hasn't gone down here - it's still about $49 CDN, which is what I paid for it. The last time I was at Walmart (less than a month ago) there were at least 5 copies on the shelf (although they were buried behind copies of Vampire - The Masquerade Bloodlines). There were no copies at EB Games, "The Source", or Futureshop, although maybe that means they were sold out? :hmm:
