I know basically no country save Japan cares about Gravity Rush (and even they're not head over heels about it - I think GR 2 has done about 100k) but still to have it bomb so hard is disappointing. English speakers just seem immune to the game's charm, for some reason. I can't really explain why it's so much less popular than some other Japanese games, as it features gameplay that would seemingly be appealing. 

 

Ah well, at least GR2 is a great sequel. 

Cant really care about a game if you dont know it exists. this game didn't seem to get much of a marketing push, if it werent for me visiting this site & Neogaf almost daily than i probably would have never heard of it.

To be honest, I think they could market the hell out of Gravity Rush and it wouldn't make a bit of difference. The game was fairly known for a Vita game and the first game actually sold more on the Vita than 2 did for the ps4. Sony could have dropped millions of dollars to advertise the game and likely it would have bumped the game from selling 30k or so (in the US, it could be much lower than that) to a whopping 40k. Some games just don't appeal to certain markets, and Gravity Rush is one of them.
