Games That Were Suppose To Sell Very Well/Huge, But Failed to Do So?

 

1st of all, not a Bayonetta 2 thread. Fans Wishful thinking of it selling a million/etc doesn't mean squat in this thread.Im talking about a developer/publishers expectations!

Any game listed doesn't mean it sold bad, just not as close as it was expected to!

 

Anywayz post away!!! 

BTW here are mine!!!

If this is developers expectations not sure why Titanfall is there, I remember EA saying they were happy with the sales.  Anyway Ill say Tomb Raider.



It's really hard to guess the expectations of Developers and Publishers....

I'll say Smash Wii U and PSAS Battle Royale

Well most companies will say anything, if im not mistaken, wasnt Titanfall suppose to be the next COD, or was that just fans hyping the game up? 



Resident Evil 6
DmC
Darksiders 2
Tomb Raider (i think it is selling well but not according to SE)
Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric
Shenmue

It's over 3 million and still going strong, what were you expecting? Every Wii U owner to buy it?

While it did sell very well, it obviously didn't move as many units as Nintendo wanted it to since it mostly sold to people who already have a Wii U

OP: Most third party games on Wii U (CoD, Batman, Etc.)

Never heard EA or Respawn saying Titanfall was supposed to be the next Cod, in fact I don't think any dev has ever said that.

Great sales, for sure, but if this is guessing the expectations of Nintendo, I'm sure they expected more sales, especially in Japan.
