| Boutros said: So are Titanfall 2, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Dishonored 2, Watch Dogs 2, Skyrim... Basically all big releases of November are discounted by now. That's how it works especially after the holiday period. |
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't all of those games sales disappointments?
The sales story of TF2, Watchdogs 2, and Dishonored 2 are all the same. Underperforming the original by a big margin.
When I think of AAA games tearing up the charts, I look at games like GTA V and Pokemon X and Y. Still going for full retail years after release.
Obviously not every game can be GTA V, but I don't think it is very good news for these games and AAA games in general that we're seeing such deep discounts starting a week after launch.
This game is $40 at GameStop and BestBuy and I'm willing to bet that almost every store has multiple copies. I don't think this is flying off shelves. If they hit that 10M number, it will be because of aggressive discounting.
