You're still not providing me with any numbers to back your claims.

Also, using Apocalypse as an example? Really? That game was unlucky to be scheduled to be released when the tsunami and the Christchurch earthquake hit. It was delayed several times and when finally released, released without any advertising because of the sensitive nature of the content at the time.

As for Pacific Rift, it sold 1M in about a month:

Why did you ask me questions if you already have excuses? Just tell me your ridiculous excuses and we move from there.

I bet that 1M was sold to stores, not consumers. That's the figure Sony always gives to publications.

Yes, I use Apocalypse as an example. It was a game in the series that sold horribly at launch and continued to sell horribly over time. That shows how little of a following the series had.

It sounds like you want to know the exact number of bundles. Instead, I want to play stupid and ignore bundles even happened. So the Motorstorm series went from selling nearly 4 million units to less than 400K after three PS3 releases, pretty amazing stuff.

As much as the original Motorstorm benefitted from process of elimination through the launch window, I would actually say Apocalypse's plummet stems from the fact that it was released during the PSN outage.

 

I don't really care for the series, just an observation.
