Added DiffLines:

* UncertainAudience: Some attribute the game's initial failure due to the unfortunate timing of being the first Rare title released right after being bought out by Microsoft and being on the Xbox, whose signature Rare style didn't exactly line up with the tastes of the Xbox audience. Many theorize if ''Ghoulies'' just came out a year earlier before the buyout, it would've been on the ''Platform/NintendoGamecube'', where it likely would have even better received.
