| theprof00 said: ehh, the problem is, you're attributing "flop"(ing) with releasing too many in the same year. Killzone 3 ran into the problem of not being as good as 2, similarly with uncharted, though uncharted 3 sold well. Not to be disparaging, but I think you're overthinking it. TBH, the only games in 2016 that will sell really well are uncharted 4, GT (if released), and maybe last guardian. Playstation titles don't tend to be blockbusters. They sell relatively well, but they've never been really solid. |
MotorStorm was big before Apocalypse, LBP 2 didn't flop and Resistance 3 was the best game in the franchise and easily one of the best shooters of last-gen, but it still flopped. Infamous 2 also flopped badly and was a huge decline over Infamous.
Killzone 3 while not up there with 2 still sold well and Uncharte 3 was a huge success and eclipsed Resistance 3, exactly what my point of "overlooking one big game over another" is.
As for 2016, I do think that No Man's Sky, Horizon and SF V will sell very well too, and eclipse games released around them unless those games are Uncharted 4 and GT 7. The rest will be no match in terms of hype, and will indeed be overlooked if released close to the others.
