since nobody is going to pick Ratchet over Uncharted

I will. Hopefully you will too

Let's face it though, doesn't make much of a difference. Every game in 2016 except huge multiplats and U4 is going to flop, schedule doesn't make a difference

It'll be the year of great games and many flops.

This has been a yearly trend (look at the lower barrier to enter NPD top 10 for instance, and the gap between that and the top places) and will keep getting worse

Of course. I've been waiting for it since the moment they teased it and it looks to be the best in the series. But without a real push (and Sony's been known to halfheartedly push anything that  isn't a ND and SMS project if at all), the movie is one of the last hopes for a franchise that very well should be Sony's Mario by this point. 

rtly after launch I'd agree with you. Sony is a different beast this gen even compared to last gen, and they were terrible with the sub-AAA franchises last gen. 

 

 

I hope I'm wrong but I see this going the same way as Resistance 3, where it gets overcrowded and screwed despite being an excellent game. 

The Order wasn't a good game, from unestablished franchise. Rachet and Clank usually had consistent quality and it is well known and established franchise.

And at worst case, Sony will promote it again during Q4, which should carry most of the sales.

 

Here's hoping but ever since CiT being overpriced Sony hasn't exactly been on board with treating the franchise correctly. With Ratchet launching at $40 (the correct price to launch at) I'm worried it's gonna get Sly 4'd and dumped into the bargain bin or even PS+ by Holiday. Given, PS+ would be a great way to help the series out, but I'm more worried the former would happen.
