but its still irrelavent...you didnt answer my question....how are sony fans on the internet a substantial source to determine what a company deems worthy sell through of THEIR product...
And no, if a game sells 90% of its initial shipment it is almost exactly what the company expected to sell...its silly to use fans expectations when determining a "flop" in terms of product......use your own judgement....you dont have to apply all the opinions and variables...
To me, 99% of xbox owners can say X game will be huge, but if its not logical to me, the shipments arent hi and the developer/distribution companies sell what is expected to them it doesnt matter if 99% of kids/adults anyone on the internet says...its the business and those people who should be the focal point of a product "flopping"
I love my PS3 just as you love your Xbox, but to get in pissing matches about product sell through based on other owners posts is silly imo. be your own logical debater.
You do a lot of research on your own, id expect you to be able to step back and not have to resort to forum posts from users as your main point for product sell through.

Sony fans aren't a substantial source, but you know....Once, I'd like to think that a game they hype *may* do well at some point in the future.
And just because a game has 90% sellthrough does not mean it's a guarenteed success. Why? Shipments could we well below internal watermarks for sales, and projected legs for the given title. I gave you Infinite Undiscovery as a good example - 90%+ sellthrough on it's first week followed by around 20,000 units (80% of it's LTD sales were on the first week). Do you think, to Tri-Ace, that LTD sellthrough was satisfactory? No...I don't think so.
Now, these arguments may, or may not pertain to what WKC does in the future. But I do not think that WKC selling ~200,000-250,000 in it's lifetime will be a rousing success for Level 5 given the scope of the game.

i cant argue with that, its been in production for a long time and im sure it cost a lot....but posting a bunch of quotes from people who arent internal to the game is juvenile evidence and baseless.
