- Gran Turismo 5 could sell less than GT4 but for now it selling at least on pair. I want to know which playstation exclusive sold less then previous ones... or did you mean this gen??? - U2 > U1 and Ucharted 3 is selling faster than U2. |
One things that excellent analysis shows is that the decline is not terrible and rather upwards for certain Sony IPs, but for others that are more Mario-like (LBP), sequels don't work as powerfully. It follows the trends Nintendo saw in its Wii sequelitis. Super Mario Galaxy 2 (32% drop), Endless Ocean 2 (only a 20% drop on less shelf life so OK), Wii Play Motion (Major drop), WSR 2 (not bundled, but still less phenomenal than WS though phenomenal nonetheless), Nintendogs+Cats (yes on a new plat with small userbase, but not in anyway a hit like the first one. Did not move systems).
However, Uncharted keeps going up, COD as well. Mario Kart 7 is doing fantastic on 3DS versus a very similar Mario Kart Wii. Some franchises just keep going up!
About GOW3, it's not a very good indicator because it released on a whole new platform with glorious HD visuals in contrast with the first two. Same goes for GT5 and MGS4. Mind you the PS2 had a much larger userbase, so on par sales are a good sign. Though apples to oranges it's still a good indicator of franchise health.
