Grave news. Tearaway ranked 38th on this weeks SW sales in USA. Given that 30th was NSMBU at 37k, it probably sold around 30k. Fingers crossed that's only because everyone was buying digital but either way I had hoped for more :(

I think it's a very bad time to release a game. So many other heavy hitters coming the same day, two new consoles launched, Iota got blown away... It should have been released a month earlier. Now we can just hope for Europe doing better and hope for some legs.

I suppose it was a gamble, one the one hand it may have been lost under next gen hype, on the other enough adverts and promotional materials whilst visibilty of the PlayStation brand was high might have helped it. It does seem like the first outcome is what actually happened though.

There is some hope though, KZ has been showing alright legs in spite of a weak FW here on Vgchartz and given that Vita is currently having more success in Europe, you're right to say it may do better here (then again, who really knows?). There's also digital, I just hope we get concrete numbers on this from Sony (don't know if they actually do this though)
