The first Resistance wasn't bad, but it's pretty obvious a lot of its sales came from being a launch title. Look at how Red Steel sold a million on the Wii, or how Raving Rabbids 1 did better than its vastly superior sequel. Apparently it's also been bundled a bit. The biggest problem with reaching 4 million is how crowded the whole genre is. Gears did well because there wasn't much competition during the 360's first year, and Halo is Halo, but Resistance 2 isn't standing out anywhere near as much as it should for that level of sales in 2008/9. Of course we still don't know much about it, so let's wait and see. |
Sorry but having both RRR titles i can say that Rayman Raving Rabbids is MUCH better than it's god-awful sequel. Most, if not all, critics agree with me.
OT: Resistance was a great launch title so i believe people who bought the original will also buy its sequel. 550k First Week worldwide seems about right to me, lifetime sales around 2.75-3 million, 4.5-5 million if it's bundled.
