Mass Effect 2 is tracking on level with or better than its predecessor, darth.

The chart graphing tools are gone

they painted strikingly different picture.

But then Resonance Of Fate is selling as good as any random new IP JRPG did last gen.

If ROF is there, why isn't Star Ocean IV PS3 version there?

If Resonance Of Fate is there why isn't NIER there?

If Resonance Of Fate is there why isn't FF Crystal Chronicles Wii there?

Who expected big things from Resonance Of Fate pray tell...

ooh, Crystal Chronicles! Forgot about that one. BIIIIIIIGtime flop.

Star Ocean is an old port a game that flopped last year. Not worth discussing. And what the fuck is NIER? This list isn't all about sales, Darth. Mass Effect 2 = selling faster than the original, 96 Meta and many GOTY awards to come. Not flop.

Why is White Knight Chronicles a flop?

We knew its metascore would be bad because even Japanese reviewers weren't nice to it and reception in Japan was poor.

YET it sold a big amount for a JRPG this gen despite launching a month before FFXIII

Why is White Knight Chronicles a flop?



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Mass Effect 2 is massively overtracked here by the way.

Still hasn't been adjusted from that "1.6 Million sold" figure we got.

http://kotaku.com/5536720/bad-company-2-sells-five-million-fifa-sells-a-lot-more

We had perfect figures for Dante's Inferno, FIFA and Bad Company... But Mass Effect 2 was 1.6 Million sold on the 360 alone. Nevermind PC too.

I got banned last year for saying SO4 is a flop, so watch it okedokey!

And NIER as a S-E game that came out in April, it flopped because of no marketing and has a low metascore. Funny its actually got everything people have been wanting in a JRPG but no-one even knew it came out and died on arrival.

And Me2 was not selling faster, the chart graphing function proved all of this!

Why is White Knight Chronicles there?

We knew it was gonna suck since its release in Japan.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Also why is Valkyria Chronicles 2 there

Did anyone expect it to do well in sales? This is a PSP game we are talking about

You say this thread is when something "disappoints" in sales/reviews

Well how did VC2 disappoint in sales when we knew it would sale bad because of PSP. That is matching expectations.

trollolololol this is fun!

Interesting. You should see what Brett has to say about that.

Though I'll point out that thee's no source cited for that conference call and they might not be including PC sales, nor is it illustrated the date up to which sales had been counted.



Why is MGs Peace Walker there?

Did anyone seriously fall into the "this is MGS5 so you buyz it" trap?

Kojima is a genius, he would call it MGS5 if it was meant to be the real thing.

The title has done fine for a spin off and a PSP game.

Wow your hotter than I expected OkeyDokey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why is Alpha Protocol there?

you expected a good game from Obsidian?

Why is Alpha Protocol there?



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

I wouldn't call M:oM or FFXIII flops. You could call their metascores disappointing when comparing to other games in the franchises (even though the majority of reviews are "positive") but I can't agree with calling them flops.

 

It's far to soon to call VC2 a flop saleswise. It's a niche game and we don't even have sales from America and EMEAA yet!
