It's going to flop. Just like LBP Karting.
Sony PR has spent years telling their fanbase how an Hardcore game should be: cinematic, realistic-looking, adult or epic and badass, heavy on storytelling.
At the same time they went on calling the competition childish or casual.
Now it will be hard for them to convince fans to buy a game without any of the mentioned qualities, that blatantly copies competiton.
Not to mention Smash Bros is just too good, those who have played it enough and love it, have probably just bought a Wii already to play it (since it's not very expansive). Those who don't know it or don't like it have no reason to be attracted to the game. |
I do believe that LBP Karting will flop hard, but with Battle Royale I see that Sony is trying to push this game as their only big first-party title this holiday. So, even though it won't sell amazingly well, it will crawl to really decent numbers.
It's totally true that a childish and casual title is something different from what Sony has given us this generation, but I think that a lot of PS3 users need some title like that. And Battle Royale could be that game.

I don't know about you, but I haven't forgotten about all of the R&C games and LBP. This guy is acting like all Sony do is release realistic-type games. Not true at all.

It's not always been like that of course, but during the Ps3 era their focus is mostly on "hardcore" targeted games. R&C is just continuation the ps2 lagacy tergeted to the already ensatblished IP fanbase, they don't actually put that much of an effeort to market it. LBP is a more correct example but it's more like the exception to the rule.
To be clear that's not to say All-Star Battle should fail, I just say it's quite incoherent to the ps3 marketing proposition, so it will hardly be a succes.
