But that's the thing: It's not that they didn't grow as much as expected. It's the fact that they actually shrunk. It undershipped, undersold, only did marginally better critically than Devil May Cry 4 (which had an 84) but still did worse than Devil May Cry 3 SE and Devil May Cry, and is going to have a hard time even matching previous franchise sales. Dragon's Dogma at least has the excuse of being a new IP, so 1.3 million sold in that case is rather good. But saying DmC had "solid sales" is like saying Resident Evil 6 had "solid sales". Yeah it turned a profit, but it also undershipped and undersold and was from an established franchise.
They can't be stopped...
