Ghost Squad was the first that sold half a million, and it was considerably shorter and more shallow than Extraction. Then of course there was Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles which sold over 1 million, and then HOTD: Overkill which did pretty good at a half million. So is it really the "on-rails" factor that's keeping this game from selling? |
I'll add a big "no" to this. It's more of to do with Dead Space not being a big franchise, but even that can't explain these pathetically low numbers. I'm not buying that people are "tired of on rails shooters." Are 360 owners tired of FPSs? Are DS owners tired of RPGs? I don't think so! People can and do buy many games of the same genre, so that excuse makes no sense.
