The market was overstuffed with these games, within the first month stores were knocking the price from $60 to 30-40 dollars. I doubt this game will see much more sales. |
Like what games have oversaturated this market?
This year we have had Devil may cry 4, no more heroes, ninja gaiden 2...and now star wars unleashed. Maybe Dynasty warriors -whatever numebr if you want to count that.
There were weeks where more than 4 FPS games hit the market, and we are talking 4 over the entire year. So the issue is that the market is owercrowded with action hack and slash games.
Devil May Cry 4 sold really well beause its more approachable than NG series. Being an xbox exclusive last gen, not a lot of people have had the chance to play it. And from what most people tell me that didn't play it...the general opinion of this game is "I heard its really hard...I don't like hard".
So that is the problem with NG2 sales...people seem scared to try it. Otherwise 1 mil is not a bad sales figure at all...

I was trying to say that NG2 had too many copies at retail, not that there are too many games of this genre on the market. I'll try to word it different for next time. But 1mil units is a lot, just that the market still has a nice supply of these games and the price has already been dropped so soon into the games life.

Where do you see this price drop at? All my local stores are all still selling them at $59.99 (Target, FM, Wal-Mart, Best Buy). DMC4 however got price cut after about 2 months from 59.99 to 39.99. I kick my self for getting it early, I found limited edition on clearance at Best Buy for 29.99 ...
Madden 09 special edition for PS3 is on clearance at Target not sure why but last I check it sell really well.
Anyway, ship or sold this is still good number for Ninja Gaiden. I didn't think this game would get to 1million.
