| Ail said: To NoName2200 ( don't want to quote the whole post). You claim that titles like NMH, Zack and Wiki exceeded the developers expectations. That is indeed what the developers said after seeing the sales result. But when you compare the number of units each title sold compared to the available user base, both titles fared significantly worse than others franchises their developers released on HD consoles... Looks more to me like the developers did not want to admit the titles didn't do as well as expected. It's the same way when people try to make us believe than 90k sales in 3 weeks for BloomBox is good and that the title is holding up. 90k for a 20 million user base ( discarding Japan) is pityfull if you take a second to look at it.... |
First of all Grasshopper never released an hd console game, and if you look here. No more heroes is their best selling game. http://www.vgchartz.com/games/index.php?name=&console=&developer=Grasshopper+Manufacture&publisher=&genre=&keyword=&order=Hits
Look at this on a console with a 100+ http://www.vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=3586 It sold only about 1,500 copies it's first week. Does that mean games don't sell on ps2? Zack& Wiki is in a genre that has been dead since the 90s.
Most of these games are low budget and have no advertising. Do you ever see these games on tv? Now halo 3, Assasin's Creed, Haze, etc alll sold well because they were advertised alot. Haze despite being a bad game sold well, do you know why? Because it was advertised.
