| atma998 said: Ok now Need for Speed games were too milked lol. Do you know how many games of the franchise was released on PS2? Seven. How many games were released on PS3? Four. And for your information not just Underground sold well on PS2, Most Wanted, ProStreet and Hot Pursuit also sold very well. Your Fast and Furious argument is also silly. If you absolutely want to draw a conclusion from NFS sales you could say that the racing genre is declining instead of trying to find poor excuses on how bad NFS games on PS3 perform in comparison to NFS games on PS2. After all, some genres gain in popularity (like shooters right now) while some other genres are declining, that's just the way it is and the golden age of GT may be a thing from the past imo. |
I really didn't expect to see 7 NFS games on PS2, proved me wrong on that one.
My point about Underground/Underground 2 breaking new ground for the series is right though. This can easily be proven by taking a look at the NFS game that came before it. NFS Hot Pursuit 2. It released in 2002. The game sold 1.89 Million units. The following year, 2003, saw the release of 2 Fast 2 Furious. NFS Underground also released several Months later, with a huge emphasis on moding your car for street races, as seen in FF. The game went on to sell 6.5 Million on PS2 alone.
As for the racing games sales declining. Bullshit. Mario Kart alone can prove this one wrong. Then we can go on to see Forza increasing in popularity, and GT5 Prologue selling 5 Million units on the HD consoles.
