So, does this average include those established franchises? Cause, anything compared to those established franchises will fail.... duh! Maybe if you compared them to the non-established games, that little bulb in your head will light up. |
Since I was curious, I decided to see how well his standard worked out for FPS games on the PS3 and XBox 360 ... The average sales for FPS on the PS3 is 830,000 units, there have been 23 games released and only 5 would be considered successful. The average sales for FPS games on the XBox 360 is 1.34 Million units, there have been 35 games released and only 11 would be considered successful.
