| Hyruken said: I find it quite laughable really that people call it a big franchise. The last game sold in the 2m bracket with 140m consoles to sell to. It sold something like 200k outside the US The game has had recent releases which people for some reason seem to be ignoring. It had in 08 Twisted Metal Head on Twisted Edition, and in 05 the orgional. The one in 08 got a mighty 73% on metacritic. Both combined didn't even get over a million units. The last proper TM was Black on the PS2 in 2001. A game that was excellent. It was better then the previous 4. But it bombed sales wise. The sales figures on here have it just over a million. The game will probably sell 3m max if it get's bundled with a few consoles like Motorstorm was. But it's sales don't matter, what matters is that it improves over the version they released 2 years ago as that sucked bad. |
People seem to come up with this argument over and over and over again even though it fails over and over and over again 
MGS4 outsells MGS3
God of War III is looking to outsell the previous GoW games
DMC4, RE5, FFXIII are looking to outsell/have sold more than their predecessors.
I'm sure you can find many more examples for this.
The 200k outside of US is outdated.
It doesn't matter if the recent versions, developed by different devs from the original, sucked...this is a re-boot of the franchise by the original series creator and legend David Jaffe.
I'm pretty sure this game is gonna deliver. The nuke gameplay mode @ E3 looked extremely awesome.
And the live action trailer gave me the chills.
