I'll post this win that I posted in another thread:
We'll keep living in la-la land where Too Human is not a flop in the same vein as Haze or Lair. It's entirely realistic that Too Human will not pass Haze in terms of sales. Last week Worldwide was 30k, and this week looks to be between 15-20k, and lower and lower as the weeks go on.
What's worse? A game with a metacritic of 55 selling 410k units, or a game with a game with a metacritic of 65 selling the same amount of units? It'd seem to me that a game with a higher metacritic selling thee same amount of units as a game with a lower metacritic is more of a flop. That's just me though.
Also look at this graph. http://www.vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=All&game1=Haze+-+PS3®2=All&game2=Too+Human+-+X360®3=All&game3=&weeks=5
Too Human and Haze are charting exactly the same.
Yes, Too Human, on the console with the larger install base, Yes, Too Human with the higher Metacritic, is charting the same as a "flop". So if you're going to call a game with a lower metacritic on a console with a smaller install base a flop, the Too Human is even more of a flop.
