| Mazzy said: So you're just trolling. I showed factors that would have very significant effects on the budget, and you just casually dismiss the dev team and marketing budget swelling. I included the Gears of War to show how much the budgets of these games increase as they grow in popularity and the overall budget swells to match it. We won't know internal expectations because those are not publicly available. If we can't discuss how well a game did without knowing exact internal budgets and expectations, then there is no point even discussing any sales, because we don't ever get this information, aside from the rare PR that explicitly states a game exceeded expectations. |
So, because 'expectations' aren't quantifiable, sales numbers can be legitimately ignored in order to continue suggesting it didn't sell that well? You're onto a winner here.
Sony must have been forced to put out these figures because clearly it hasn't met 'expectations'. Putting out these figures in NO WAY suggests Sony are happy with the sales. It's just PR to cover up low sales ...
