^Again, what is being quoted.

VictorG's posts are all gone, and I had to use posts quoting him.

gosh, why was victorg permabanned?

"modnation flop. as expected. won't reach 1 million."


posting them as they come folks.

it really is a flop, mind you. absurd = false. so my statement isn't absurd, since it's the truth.

watch, as modnation will sink into obscurity very quickly. poor reviews + a genre that only belongs to mario = flop. and if you think 50k first week in europe isn't a flop, maybe your standards are just too low.

and for reference, MAG did nearly 100k first week in europe (double that of modnation), and it's still just at 800k sales now, despite a bigger opening in america, which modnation will not have, since MAG is in a more popular genre.

so how can modnation possibly hit 1 million? no way.

LOL!!! Not gonna lie man that's some pretty funny shit right there. I couldn't figure who would've said the first two quotes until I read the last one and then figured :D!

I found "Gran Turismo 5 won't reach 5 Mil + Sales", "Final Fantasy XIII won't sell over 1 Mil in Japan", "Halo is dying" "Halo Reach will sell ODST Numbers", "Alan Wake 94+ on Metacritic" pretty damn absurd and pretty much everything here that was Pachter's Predictions very absurd, especially Wii HD prediction and the way he tried to prove his prediction right by claiming the PS3 as the Wii HD. Douchebag... I've seen more absurd but that's all I can think of right now on top of my head.

and for another reference, mario kart did nearly 600k first week in europe (over 10x more than modnation). so no, there will be no sudden "mario kart legs" that will sprout from this. mario kart was a huge title to begin with. it didn't just suddenly sell more.

sorry, i feel the need to defend my post because it isn't absurd. it's the truth. modnation is a flop.

3 post because of a single post.

LBP : one of the most hyped game ever, released in the fall sold 333k world wide in its first week, it was called a major flop. guess where it's at now.

333k with outstanding reviews (game of the year) released in the holidays, and therefore sold a whole lot in the following weeks, and also got two re-releases. also, remember that it had a staggered release because it got recalled in america for that stupid song. take a good long look again at it's sales, not just first week. as you mentioned already, LBP was hyped like crazy. hence the sales. and the only people who said that LBP flopped were those who predicted the insane 10 million sales.

not a comparison to modnation, which received mediocre reviews (82 metacritic), released in the slowest season of the year, and is not hyped by any means. it will not receive a platinum treatment, nor will it be game of the year (no way). where's the marketing push? none. where's the hype? none.

don't compare a good game and a mediocre game just because they have the same concept. modnation is a flop, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. second week sales WW should be below 100k. third week should be around 60k. then it'll disappear into obscurity.

I was just playing with you, it was fun watching you. But I do believe these types of games with a price cut cut can do well in Europe. In America, that's another story.
