Grid, however, is not a sim, it's an arcade racer. This fact, however, apparently missed a lot of consumers. What can we deduce from these numbers? You tell me. |
Actually, look at the numbers for Mario Strikers Charged. Usually, Soccer/Futbol titles don't do nearly as well in the Americas as PAL, and with Japan, it's interchangable (although Japan defiitely has the lead). Mario games pretty much break boundaries of genre and sell well despite region because hey, it's Mario.
With that having been said, GRID's sales aren't too low. It's having decent enough legs. The problem being that it looks like the most boring, cliche racing game imaginable. But I've never played a racing game besides Mario Kart, Gran Turismo, or F-Zero, or Crash Bandicoot Racing so I wouldn't know.
