| am8733 said: Carl2291 hit the nail on the head exactly. The sales are certainly disappointing for a game that is this good. This game is one of the best I've played all year. This brand just can't compete with the juggernaut franchises that launched at the same time, and people still buy these games no matter the quality (ie. COD). This game deserves to be a top seller based on quality, but that unfortunately is not how this market works anymore. Instead we keep paying for and feeding the shit that gets spewed year after year, instead of promoting great games. Unless you have a financial investment/shares in Microsoft, you really shouldn't care about how well this game sells. Just enjoy the great game that it is. |
Why exactly is this game so special?
-Its platforming and story massively pale to Uncharted
-Its shooting is inferior to COD/BF4/etc.
-It is linear as hell
Sure the end result is greater than the sum of its parts, but still I can't help but feel that some of the praise this game gets is simply because it only has one series its competing with.
Prediction for console Lifetime sales:
Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million
[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]
3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m
I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.
