My personal take is dependant on the game itself. in this case of Demon's Souls is that theres a million people out there who've played it. but that dosent mean everyone enjoyed it. some people probabily hated it. i think its excellent because the quantity of sales have meant a sequel to this type of game and there is a potential userbase of 1 million people who will support the next title and more because its multiplatform. the money made is irrelevant to me, because the developers and Sony were never expecting this kind of success, which suggests its already been financially successful. but obviously its important for a healthy balance of both. either way the number of sales is important even if its bargain bin, because if the game is good, then theres 1 more person its reached with each sale; which is good for deveopers in their next project and good for the fans who enjoyed it. |
The game didn't exactly go down in price fast either, I bought mine for 60 almost a year after it released because I just couldn't find it cheaper and I wanted it
