Forums - Sales - Acclaimed games that bomb in sales?

Elebits and Zack and Wiki are the first that come to my mind.

Eternal Darkness from last generation as well.

Does anyone know whether games on vgchartz that are listed as 0.00 million actually sold less than 10,000? Or does that mean no data is available?



means no data i believe, or no one ever updated it



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

Zack and Wiki.. but it hasn't sold that poorly if you go by VGChartz.. it has yet to be released in Europe so hopefully people will buy it there.



Grand Theft Auto III, had pretty high acclain but never really panned out...



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

Jeanne d'arc and Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow are both phenominal!

Hmm, if you consider Blue Dragon acclaimed, then add that too.

Super Mario Galaxy. People keep telling me that game bombed.

In all seriousness though-- Uncharted and Ratchet and Clank are both good games that haven't done nearly as well as they should have.



okami and physconauts really. no next gen game has bombed yet. not done as well as reviews say, but none have bombed.

Very true. I guess you could say the same about Gran Turismo 3 and Mario 64. Well praised but never sold that much.
