Forums - Gaming Discussion - Poor The Last Tinker PS4 Sales Contribute to Xbox One Cancellation

Despite looking fun and receiving a positive review from us, the launch for The Last Tinker: City of Colors on PlayStation 4 wasn’t kind to developer Mimimi Productions, as low sales of the game have contributed to the game being put on hold for Xbox One.

The developer confirmed this news last month on Twitter when someone asked about the status of the game on Xbox One:

Sorry Kyle, but for now we’ve decided to stop working on the Xbox One version.

Mimimi expanded on this by listing the reasons:

Sales are too low for PS4, Xbox One has significantly less units out there, we have to port ourselves, Sim-Ship-issues.

Are you surprised by the low sales of The Last Tinker on PS4? Did you buy the game (on PS4 or PC) and enjoy it?

Stuff happens if you don't know how to marketing.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Was this game even marketed? The only time I heard about this game was when this news came out. I've also never seen it in the PSN Store being promoted.



Has anyone tried this? Is it any good? Didn't hear about it until recently when I read a similar article a week ago or so. I'd gladly give it a go.



 

Playstation = The Beast from the East

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS


Wait Sony didn't advertise it well? I thought they also had the greatness and more diverse fan base.. How can this flop \ sarcasm

Now we know the secret to getting more exclusives. Just don't buy them and then they won't go to Xbox!

On a serious note, I never heard of this game. Gonna have to find some reviews. Looks colorful and I like colorful.



I've never even heard of it until now.



From what I've read, it's a mediocre game with mediocre reviews and non-existant promotion.
Anything else than poor sales would have been a miracle.

I don't think many XOne owners will be saddened by this news.

Do you genuinely not see the differences between these two situations?

In that topic I've seen people using stuff like Heavy rain as a example, to me D4 and this one are way closer.
