The first game sold 1.19 million copies WW without any promotion from Ubisoft or any tv ads. So I think this game will sell 1 million copies lifetime.

The first one did in fact get well promoted as a launch title.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

The actual team that has created the game seems very passionate about the title.
But the promotion/distribution side of Ubisoft appears to not give a s**t about it.

Maybe things will change the closer we get to March, but with Ubi's track record I don't expect any miracles.



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

Ubisoft should stop publishing games that they are not going to promote.



TO GOD BE THE GLORY

unlike flagship franchises such as AC for HD console, Nintendo will NOT put money into advertise other third party games (unlike Sony or Microsoft).

500k LT,

Why should Nintendo be responsible for this? They already took the time out to send members of their own studio (Retro) to assist in the development and you want Ninty to advertise it too? Nintendo doesn't have to do everything.

Ubisoft must take more responsibilty and serve much more of a purpose than just distributing copies. If they can afford to advertise Just Dance and create a host of viral internet ads for it, then they can advertise Red Steel 2. The market for this game on the Wii isn't risky to cater too either, so the idea of advertising being a waste is a complete fallacy.

After seeing the first 10 minutes of gameplay, I would say somewhere between 150-200k first week WW and 1 million lifetime.


Completely agree with you Snake. I played Red Steel 2 firt time to gamescom. Since this hands-on, the game is the most wanted game for me with Zelda...Absolutely incredible !

You can stop gun fire with your Sword/wii motion + and that's just really really fun ! The handle is perfect.

When I played, i Was surprised to not see the same result for a stars wars game. With the motion +...so you must just buy this fantastic game !!!

I predict around 50-75k 1st week but will eventually sell 2 million+ if it is a good game and heavily marketed. If not than at 1 million sold.

500k LT,

The reason Sony/MS did that is to gain an advantage in sales. RS2 is exclusive.

Sony advertissed AC: Bloodlines too but also side by side with AC2 to gain more brand recognition...

Soriku, Soriku, Soriku. When will you ever learn?

The reason why Nintendo won't advertise Red Steel 2 is already mentioned in kingofwale's post. Only flagship franchises from third parties get this special treatment from console manufacturers. In other words, games that have the potential to move hardware. Like Nintendo plans to do with Monster Hunter Tri.

Red Steel 2 is just not a big game. That's all there is to it.
