Forums - Sales Discussion - PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is a MAJOR flop - we need to talk about it

So you did it ^_^ I was waiting for it.



Around the Network

I called it! Average games don't sell well or get reviewed well. Very simple. Pfft, people predicting this to be a multi million seller and to get 85+ metacritic.  Yeah a 75




       

Seeing BO2 on PS3, PS3 gamers are there. They just like to buy multiplats and dont see PS3 exclusives worth their time, unless its a big name one.

The reality completely flies in the face of the internet consensus that Sony is loved for their variety.



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

 

Finally...



List any game's sales

For comparison, Call of Duty: Black Ops II (PS3) sold 4.61m in week one alone.

So many major flops we need to talk about.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

Around the Network

Well it outsell Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and Dead or alive 5 their first weeks, and they are more marquee. So not too bad in my eyes.



Wait for Japan

(not really) BTW... I'm waiting for NPD.



Ah crap. I wonder why. The game is great, it's not without flaws but it does so many things right. I figured the announced free DLC would help out a bit but I guess not. I will still hold up for a sequel in later years.

Another good game snuffed from glory. I'm a sucker for flops I suppose.

EDIT: that BO2 comparison is a load of bull. While most alot of PS3 players are playing the game (at least 10+ people are everyday in my friendlist at once) you can't fairly compare the two. Compare it to the original smash bros or brawl, or TTT2, or any revelant fighting/multiplayer.

You should've said "more levelheaded"
