For example, what on earth Monster Hunter Portable have to sell the way it did in Japan? Personally it is a good game with a nice mix of gameplay but it's not even close to being my favorite psp game, yet it's outselling better rated games, and existing franchises. Remember when Pokemon came out, why on earth did that become so huge? I love it personally, but the following seems almost unjusified for a new game. Gears of War too, I never even tried it but it was a dark gory shooter on a system with tons of games like it. Why did that become a phenomenon? GTA I get, it offered something totally new to do between messing with people and having an open world. I kind of get other different fad type games too. Like Brain Age that's cheap or Wii Play that comes with a free controller. But others are just crazy. |
yeah.....i believe though in japan......capcom adveristed the heck out of that game....and it got alot of attention and they spreaded the word.....but i am the same....how the heck did it outsell all of previous franchises??? but when it comes down to it...i believe spreading the word of the game is what really makes a new game or an existing game popular..^_^
