| fulcizombie said: The first game was a failure in retail just like games like motorstorm and uncharted and "sold" only as a free pack in (just like every sony 1st party out there) and only in Europe. It didn't built a fanbase (like games like halo or gears did) so the sequel is a bomb just like motorstorm 2. Sony fans shouldn't worry though, when the game disappears from every software chart its amazing legs will kick in. Isn' that what has happened with every sony 1st party game?? These games might sell like shit and drop off the charts quickly but then.......the legs appear !!!!!
The excuses are already funny though....2 days of sales....99% of games are released on Friday in the U.K, for example. |
2 day sales isn't an excuse when people compare NA sales to Others sales 1st week. This is a legitimate reason for sales in Others to be lower, but week 2 sales to be higher.
Also, to be fair, lets actually look at Resistance 1 vs. Resistanec 2
as you can see, with potential stocking issues, R2 is doing just as good as R1. and will probably have a stellar week 2 compared to R1. Also, it is way to early to call it a bomb, since we only have 1 weeks worth of sales.
Also, Uncharted has done 1m in others, and it looks like R2 could easily do just as much.
Now, I don't really care about the game to much, but people need to be realistic.
