Forums - Sales Discussion - Selling 1 million units is no longer enough

-ku- on 26 December 2009

Lol he compared Mafia 2 to godfather too for sales, problem is mafia 2 will get good reviews while Godfather was a fail from the start.

And I bet Read dead will sell atleast 4 million as its basically another GTA qoute me.

And Bioshock 2 will sell under 5 million.

I second that.

Doesn't that just decribe the Wii and downloadable games from Xbox Live or PSN?



Tease.

@errorrrr: You know, what you described is what got them to this mess in the first place. However, what's holding the devs back isn't that much the lack of their talent, as it is the lack of will from publisher.
2D Boy was founded by two guys who left EA. World of Goo had never seen daylight if EA had been in charge. I would bet there are hundreds of "World of Goos" out there that can't get greenlit, because the publisher lacks the will to fund it.

@Aprisaiden: Or the industry should teach various customers to buy casual minigame collections instead of AAA titles. That would be much better option for the industry.

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.

Scrap the big amount of shovelware devs on the Wii and that's indeed exactly what you get. The top games on Wii and a lot of PSN / XBLA games are indeed what is described.

As gamers we'll eventually end up spending less before we play and more while we play.
Ugh. Count me out of that.
