Rumor: Dead Space 4 cancelled after poor DS3 sales.

[PayaV87]

According to VGChartz:

DS1: 3,68m
DS2: 2,84m
DS3: 0,88m

After 3 weeks:
X360:
DS1:340k
DS2:585k
DS3:508k

PS3:
DS1:258k
DS2:493k
DS3:344k

PC:
DS1:31k
DS2:68k
DS3:28k

DS3 probably will not have the legs of the first part, and DS2 started better, so It will be around 2m. That's what the franchise capable as a horror/shooter. I don't want to suggest any stereotypes (everybody plays what he/she wants, but the xbox crowd usually more shooter centric), so just look how the platform share changed with the more and more shooter centric approach:

X360:
DS1:1,30m
DS2:1,33m
DS3:0,51m

PS3:
DS1:1,86m
DS2:1,25m
DS3:0,34m

PC:
DS1:0,53m
DS2:0,27m
DS3:0,03m

Basicly, they have not gained any player on X360, but lost a lot on PC and PS3, with the second installment.

Maybe staying with the roots would be better, and EA would have a 5m franchise now....
I'm yet to finish the game, but I hope it wraps up nicely, because I like it (not as much as the first two), and I don't want to continue and go downhill. I feel the same about Uncharted. I liked the 3rd one, but the 2nd was the peak, so pls don't continue.
