I haven't seen sales figures yet so how can anyone agree it's a commercial failure?

Well a game with not many appealing reviews and not to much preorders, since many cancelled their pre order after the delay was anounced, are not going to bode to well for the game's legs. In it's final week only 2k preorders where added so that doesn't bode to well either.

And I said biggest commercial fail on PS4 not all playstations, which isn't that hard to acomplish since Driveclub has to sell over 1.5 million units. Which without legs would be nearly impossible, look how long infamous strugles to get to two million, which is a popular franchise. Seeing a new critical mediocre franchise do better is not likely, a bit like knack but without the Launch hype.

I think you forget the PS+ version. I don't know how this will turn out, but if the game is good for the players, they will buy the complete version. And I think a lot of PS+ players will download the PS+ version of DC, so it could do well if there is a good ratio Upgrade/PS+ version.

Because of the mediocre reviews I wonder if people even bother to try the PS+ version, if they do this game has still the potential to be a great seller, problem is only half of the PS4 owners has PS+ according to Sony and how many are still interested in a demo of an CRITICALLY dissapointing game which is burned all over the internet in previous posts I already explained why this game deserves higher rates. The people who visit many gamesites will surely download the demo, but the masses probably don't bother to download the ps+ version simply because it's a big download and since the reviews are mediocre why would they. Look at how much destiny sold the week after it's release from 5.4 million to barely 600k all platforms, which leads to the conclusion if reviews are bad people don't bother anymore.
