The sad thing is this came could sell on par with the Ace Combat games (as in good, but not platinum sales), and will be called a flop anyway. |
As much as I hate quoting you and invevitably getting into some long arsed debate with you, if this game sold 750k copies I'd be very very impressed. I don't think it will, but I'd say any anti-wii type guy would have a hard time debating otherwise.
Of course that's provided they don't get all those sales at a discounted $10 price tag late in its lifespan or anything.

My issues are mainly with logical fallacies, intentional or otherwise. And here, we actually agree.
Also, I meant any game in the series, although all of them have sold well.
|
Looking lower down the list, I'd hardly call 400k a success, but not a flop, just a er, average sales I guess.
But yeah, we got alot in common, just seem to disagree alot :P. I see no reason this game is going to sell at all, it takes me as another decent game put out to death row with no marketing to stand on.

The thing is that 400K is just not a hit for HD games or major franchises. Most SD games would make a good profit with that many sales, such as Fire Emblem on the Wii.

400k sales, all at full price, for a game with a non-exsistant marketing budget is definitely a success. Not the sort of success you can build a transnational company like EA or Activision on, but the foundations for better things for sure.
I think you've always got to put sales relative to the game and how it got there. 400k isn't a hit for all Wii games, and 400k at budget price is hard to get any revenue from. While HD games on average obviously have higher expectations, theres no reason they can't be budgeted to be a hit at 400k too.
