Hey guys,

I thought we need to talk about this:

Twisted Metal sold 12,259 copies in Europe. It was only available for two days, but 12k is not much anyway. Let's be honest here, this is a MAJOR flop. Not even the typical "all PS3 exclusives are the best games ever made" antics of Sony fans will turn this game into a success.

This could have an impact on other Sony games coming to the PS3. In recent months Sony has already shut down BigBig Studios and restructured Sony Cambridge, currently rumors are going around that Zipper Interactive is next.

So can we still say that Sony games don't sell on Sony systems?

 

  • Resistance 3: 0.41m
  • inFAMOUS 2: 0.30m
  • MotorStorm: Apocalypse: 0.12m
  • Twisted Metal: 0.01m, but probably overtracked.
For comparison, the PS3 version Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 sold 2.01m units in its first week in Europe.

 

Man did you really expect a twistet metal game to do well in Europe? How long are you on vg charts?

And can we please stop that Sony  exclusives dont sell on PS3 Systems shit talk. Gran Turismo, Uncharted, Little Big Planet, God of War, Killzone, Heavy Rain all say hello. Did you also realize that the Uncharted Series is nearing gears of War levels in sales?

But not every exklusive can sell like a Uncharted und Gran Turismo. Let Microsoft have as much exclusives like Sony and you will see that only a minority will sell like Halo or Gears of War.

Not every game is a flop when it doesnt sell 3 or 5 million lifetime.

And did you really compare Twistet Metal with Call of Duty?This will be the same when i compare Alan Wake with call of Duty.

Hell, think before you write such bullshit. But i must agree Twistet Metal flopped in Europe and i also must agree that Sony should expand studios like Naughty Dog and close studios like Zipper.
