Forums - Sales Discussion - Biggest bomb of the year

mchaza on 10 December 2010

Ok VG charters, i guess its time to search the pages for the worst selling game released in 2010.

So put out the search and find the bomb. some start off names are Quantum Theory, Tony Hawk Shred etc. But there is probably an unknown game that did horrific. 



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

Final Fantasy XIV. Its a MMO that took 5 years to develop. Hasn't sold well, SE has extended the free month trial by over 3 months, actually if you got the game at launch its been free 2 play. They have no monthly income,.

Final Fantasy XIV... easy.

Because the game poorly finished and incomplete... now Square again postponed the PS3 version while working to develop a NEW GAME by PATCH for PC.

That's the REAL BOOOOOOOOMB.

The real answer is Blur.  Was hailed as "The COD of racing", had a HUGE (and semi-controversial) advertising campaign, then it sold 30k (combined) it's first NPD and bombed so hard Activision shut down the freshly purchased Bizarre Creations as a result.

Games like GT5 and Epic mickey may have disappointed in certain regions (reverse regions actually, Mickey in Europe, GT everywhere else) but neither is anywhere close to a real "bomb".

Claimed by whom??? Certainly not by popular opinion. It was hoped and by some believed to be a good game and that's exactly what it is.

 

At it again kingoftroll???
