Forums - Sony Discussion - Resistance 3: Disappointing Sales Cast Series into Doubt

Sony has a lot of better games now that make a lot more money than this franchise..I say kill it..the game wrapped up the series anyway....not in a good way but still its over.

Didn't Insomniac already say R3 is the last Resistance game anyways?

It is kinda sad to see a game sell so poorly though, especially with how great of a game (and how great the sales were) on Resistance Fall of Man.

Resistance could have been a friggin Halo killer (not literally, but could have been a huge series) if they had improved on the first one instead of making Resistance 2 complete shit.

It aint the games fault, I personally believe PS3 gamers just dont care.

If it was on 360 id guarantee wed give it a warmer welcome and not insult the developer for its hard work

As much as i hate to admit it. You are probably right. :(


Because Battlefield 3, MW3 and Uncharted 3, all massively popular multiplayer shooters have nothing to do with it.  Or for multiplat gamers you can throw in Gears 3 and the Halo Remake.

Oh gimme a break. 

"Us PS3 gamerz gotta ration our moniez cause were gonna go poor buying all these games!"

If someone wants a game, theyll buy it one way or another. Funny thing is Battlefield and COD both have higher preorders for 360 then ps3........yet we also bought over 3 million copies of Gears 3 in one week. Not to mention Halo CE will also have a high opening as well. 

PS3 gamers dont care. You can spin but numbers dont lie. 



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

Now they can focus on something I might actually want to buy.

yep we should ignore the millions who liked it and panda to your tastes because after all that should be  the top priority.

The game was released about 20 days ago and they say "it´s been out for quite a while"?...not even a month old.


Welcome to VGChartz, the place where if you haven't sold a billion games in your first 10 seconds, you are considered a failure, I'm surprised they waited this long before calling it a failure.

Yeah I would think with that type of game it will need at least 2 million. 120 million dollars with 2 million in sales about. But there is the department stores cut as well from that. So that turns into 60 million or less right? Its ad campaign was not as big as Gears, but Gears sold at least 2 million day one. But still there was an ad campaign. They should bundle it with the PS3 this Christmas. That will help a lot!

and where did you pull these figures from ?

It is the third game in a series, nothing done from the ground up so the bottom line would be fairly low for a game of it's type it's not like killzone 2 with it's lengthy engine and game development cycle and that according to guerrilla was under 60 mill. Each resistance game has been done on a 2 year turn around so some where in the vicinity of 30 mill tops.

I just can't stop laughing at the use of the word "panda", here!
