"Piracy on the Nintendo DS crippled the DS retail market, especially in Europe. We’ll never know how/if Dementium II landed in as many hands as the first game, Dementium: The Ward, due to the rampant piracy at the time. Dementium: The Ward sold more than 100,000 copies worldwide, which is a great success for an original mature-rated title on the DS. Recorded sales of Dementium II are less than half that. We’ll never truly know why that was so, but many seem to believe that piracy had a lot to do with it."
I call BS on this. Just because your game didn't sell well doesn't mean people pirated it. There's so many other factors to that. Was it marketed correctly? Did anyone know of this game? Heck I've never even heard of the first one.
