"The last Viva Piñata bombed quite hard, specially with all the effort that Microsoft put in the franchise (animated series, toys); LBP even with the cutesy sackboy is not designed for younger audiences and R&C didn't fit in that audience."
330K? Not a blockbuster, but how much would that game have to cost for that to be a bomb? I'm serious. Being an HD game, that is likely, but it's also likely the didn't spend loads on it that might have been done for a gritty, "realistic" game.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
