If they didn't Market D4 at all why would they market this? It's just another Niche japanese thing that isn't going to sell
D4, even if it was marketed, wasn't going to sell. It was a small, XBLA exclusive niche Japanese game. Casuals weren't going to go for that.
Scalebound is a exclusive retail game, with an established name on it. It has, presumably, the Platinum hype that can easily capture the casuals, and Microsoft has a ton of money to pour into it.
If MS plays their cards right, it'll be the best selling Platinum IP to date. Easily.
