Great job to both of you! It would have been a pain to find all the videos I have missed without FUD. Oh, and I enjoy CyReN's MLG impressions videos. Very helpful info coming from those guys, especially Walshy.
Sadly that is part of it, and if Halo didn't sell well would you be okay with MS not releasing any Halo games? Metroid sells ok but not a Mario or even Zelda.
But when done right it can be something appreciated by a diverse range of gamers and not just Metroid fans, like Metroid Prime.
