| thismeintiel said: I don't believe HR and B:TS were exactly big budget titles. I don't even think Quantic Dreams is that big of a studio. My point, though, was that they were very niche, but sold incredibly well. The 360 Deadly Premonition didn't even sell 1/4 of what Beyond sold. Of course, if you want apples to apples you have to look no further than Flower and Journey. Two niche, downloadable games that sold very well. Now, does the 360 have a few titles that are niche and sold pretty good? Sure. But, as a general rule, they just perform better on PS consoles. That will be doubly so this gen, given the large sales gap. And the problem with this game, that wouldn't have happened if it was on PS4, is that MS just doesn't give a shit about this game and just sent it out there to die. Like I said, if this was Sony, they would have had 3 or 4 ads/features about the game on there Youtbe channel and blogs, and would have given it facetime during at least 1 of its big conferences. |
Heavy Rain topped out over $52 Million , almost $22m to make
Beyond two souls is expected to be around $27m
But yes, I agree Sony does a better job at promoting their indie/niche titles and MS could do more. The game still has time to sell a respectable amount and MS funded the game so it's not it's a complete loss. This game is extremely niche, wasn't going to sell a lot no matter what platform tbh.
