Even then it wouldn't be generating nearly as much money... That and the fact that it really has no competition.. I mean Halo 3 is up against multiple 360 FPS with 90+ scores on Metacritic while SMG is up against umm.. Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 (lol) on the Wii.. SMG has every advantage (cheaper price, much much less competition, etc), so that's why I feel it should do Halo 3 sales or better, if it doesn't then it's definitely pretty disappointing to say the least. |
Perhaps it's disappointing from a sales perspective, since it doesn't have nearly the hype Halo 3 did, but not disappointing from a "I paid $60 for this? It played like the last one, only shorter. And they advertised it as an HD game. I thought MS said all MS published games would be $50 this generation..." perspective.
It certainly isn't disappointing critics. Even many critics that gave Halo 3 very high reviews (1up 10/10) had a lot of complaints. Very few critics are finding anything to complain about with Galaxy. And it feels a hell of a lot more fresh and fun than Halo 3.
