| ps3-sales! said: It's a bit odd that a series so critically acclaimed as the Infamous series has not sold up to the same standard of the games. I realize that quality doesn't equal sales, but I thought Sony actually did a good job with marketing Infamous 1/2 to the mainstream. The first game is at 2.3 million, while the superior second game is just at a little above 1 million. While games such as prototype outsell it. A little odd. Thoughts? |
PS PLUS gave for free Infamous 2 some months after the game launched. Also after a couple of months after Infamous 2 launch, Sony bought the developer Sucker punch.
So, if you take that into consideration, maybe Sony earned a lot of money from PS subscriptions because of the game, making it a complete success, and that is why they bough the developer. Or the sales here are way off and in reality it sold a lot more like 3M and that is why Sony bought Sucker Punch. Or a mix of both.
You dont buy a developer if it does not make you earn money.
EDIT: Also PSN sales should be huge :)
