Forums - Gaming Discussion - Rare replay sold VERY poorly in its first week

This thread just reminded me to buy this collection. Hope CBFD is the 64 version.

The last line says everything about this disguting thread.

I have heard NOT A SINGLE PERSON saying this game will be a system seller or shit like that, the most I heard is people including it on the list of reasons to buy a XBO because the game is indeed, one of the best compilations ever made, but I heard nothing about this being a hit.

It was (by some on these forums) being hyped up as one of the big deal exclusives. It was silly to most of us, so I think we just shrugged it off.

Note: I'm not replying to those saying it wasn't, as I can just pull up the Amazon thread and see that it was.  Not even going to research other threads, one is enough.

I visited many of the PS4 vs XBO threads and I only saw it being referred to as a solid exclusive that will be a nice addition to the library, much like Disgaea 5 is to the PS4 or Captain Toad is to the Wii U.

Maybe that's just me though.

This man gets it. Although, I'd replace Bayonetta 2 for Captain Toad, idk why though :/ xD

Yea this is pretty sad. Then you have ppl saying it was(meaning a few but treated like most) and then they thought(lol) blah blah blah. Best to just ignore. You feed into the fake war which is what they want.

But I thought backwards compatibility was so important on the Xbox One so this game should have sold megaloadzzzzzz...


I like BC a lot and I didn't get it because all of the games I would play are games I'm expecting to play with BC or I already own on 360 (Kameo, PD, Conker, the Banjo games).  This isn't BC. It's a rerelease.

assuming it is just a bad troll thread or someone with poor understanding of what are good and bad numbers. The number actually look very good for what it is, probably got another decent chunk of sales digitally as well.



Just checked: N64 CBFD, yes!

So, rare replay released on tuesday 4th of august and only sold 78k from that tuesday till the next monday, is it just me, or is that an insanely poor first week? Just shows that the fanboys have big mouths but small wallets...?

Wow, was that necessary?



Why would you say it sold poorly? When you actually consider all the factors this first week of sales is probably about what would be expected. It's merely that some people were trying to hype this compendium of old games as if it was a AAA system-selling new game. it probably also sold well digitally, it seems like something that would lend itself to being bought digitally over retail.

I think it did OK for what it is. Some people could have legitimately hoped for a somewhat better result so a bit of disappointment might be warranted.
