Fun fact, most games don't sell 1.7 million units. Many games struggle to even a sell a million units. I could point at several IPs that would likely be continued if they could achieve those numbers. MS recently gave away Crackdown "free" for Gold members. So that tells me that's a game MS thinks highly of. |
Really? It tells me they needed a decent game they could give out for free and found something they knew nobody was buying anymore.
It sold 1.7 million copies on the back of Halo 3 7 years ago. The sequel then sold 1 million copies 3 years later. By the time C3 comes out it would have been another 5 years. They are building upon a dead series. A new IP will have the same chances of selling well as C3 does.
