My point is that it didnt sell 5m in 9 weeks. For starters every uncharted game gets bundled pretty heavily. Theyre amazing games and sell good on their own merrits but they continually get bundled every holiday. This was one reason its legs lasted as long as it did. THat and UNcharted 2 was simply amazing to put it in words which got people interested enough in buying it.
And if you want to look at the genre and a game that has sold similar to Sunset Overdrive then go look at InFamous. InFamous and Sunset has sold very similar. IN fact both sold 750k in 9 weeks. InFamouse went on to sell 2.84m. Again a game that gets bundled a lot but its a game that can sell on its own.
Its pretty undeniable that Sunset Overdrive will reach between 1-2m on its own. So much for a flop.....more like over exaggeration from people with an agenda and does no research on sales.
And if Sunset Overdrive is bundled similarly to how Forza, InFamous, LittleBigPlanet, Halo, Uncharted, and many other first party games then yeah the legs will also be increased for holidays extending its legs even further
As for Gears. Its a game that can sell 5m+ without bundling every holiday. NOt too many games can do that and Sunset isnt one of them. Though Stage isnt saying it would and isnt what he is proposing
