Hmmmmmmm... So Sony released a derivative fighting game with a poor roster and a lack of polish and its sales are poor. Whodathunk.

The game might reach 1.5 M. Maybe 2M if you want to count bundles. Ok for the average game. For a game that features all of Sony's biggest franchises, and was their big release for the holiday... kind of sad.

Edit:  What's with this new IP rationalization?  Calling this a new IP is maybe technically correct, but willfully dishonest.  When a game launches with 20 supposedly well known characters that should negate a huge portion of the trepidation most new IPs face.  This isn't some risky obscure new title...

Huh?

Perhaps I phrased that poorly, but the point is that this game has characters like Kratos, Drake, Sack Boy, and a bunch of other Sony's main franchises.  So, it instantly has far more name recognition than something like Dishonored or Catherine.  

And no, that does not negate the roster sucking :)
