But the game in question was a core game which makes its target audience... people like yourself. You have failed Sega. |
It's all blurry for you, I understand. It might have been a core game on Wii, but most certainly not on 360/Kinect.

That week will be scary. I'm really expecting 3DS sales to topple over every other console.

Me too, it's the best game of the franchise, but with this opening it's looking to get the poorest sales. I guess to most FPS fans Online = everything.

| megaman79 said: Interesting to note that a "core" Kinect motion game on 360 didn't sell well at all. It didn't much better than many Wii games of a similar type. I guess it wasn't the Wii audience to blame, but rather bad quality product. |
I don't think it's either. Rise of Nightmares is an average game, but there was almost no advertizing for this game. I remember looking for a release date many times during the year, and only finding out about it a month before it released. This was a sleeper title, SEGA poorly advertized this game, they could have at least given a release date months before or something.
Also I just don't think the Kinect demograph wants a zombie game. Ryse is coming out soon (2012, but soon) and that will likely be the best FP...game for Kinect, and Dead Island also released the same week.
I blaime bad marketing, and a poorly planned release on SEGA's part. If they released it in October, far away from Dead Island, and Dance Central 2, maybe it could have gotten better sales.

It was advertised a lot on TV. I think I saw the commercial for Rise of Nightmares more than the Resistance 3 commericials.
Anyway its expected that R3 has low numbers. No matter how good the game is it was bound to sell less than the previous games. PS3 gamers have way too many options right now and R3 is nothing special. I myself skipped it. I'm saving my money for Modern Warfare 3 and Uncharted 3.

As it's purely annecdotal how often we both see the ads, I guess we can't really debate this effectively. I'd say it's been advertised more than the usual Sony exclusive though, which usually gets about £1m in tv advertising expenditure in the UK, but nowhere near on the same level as some other high profile games advertised in the past, from what I've seen. Anyway, it's a poor opening in NA, and I imagine the opening in EMEAA will be poor also. |
It's not been that heavily advertised. Kowenicki said that it was heavily advertised during the UK CL games.
The champions league only started on Tuesday so I don't see how that helps with last weeks sales but maybe he meant looking foward.
It has been more heavily advertised over a longer period on channel 5 Playstation sponsored movies.
Regardless I don't see how champions league games between 7pm - 10pm and movies usually after 9pm equates to "permanently on". I will check the networks for a breakdown at work out of personal interest.
It's a bad opening for R2 and I don't expect wonders in Europe.

The game is rated M for mature, so it's most definitely a core game. Or can you think of one single M-rated game that isn't considered a core game? |
Fable 3 Rated M fella
and even Rated 18+ in my country

| Michael-5 said: Why are Super Mario Galaxy and Super Paper Mario here? Did Nintendo suddenly add them to the players choice games? Also lol at Resistance, got outsold by Dead Island (360) and almost outsold by Dead Island (PS3). RE3 is under appreciated, but after RE2 I can understand why the user base isn't big. Online multiplayer is never active. Bet no one noticed Rise of Nightmares. Guess that game isn't going to be budging Kinect sales. |
Since the first announcement, IIRC
Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever
Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe
Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor
Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Oh I don't have tv, I live without it, so I never noticed. However when I go to a gamestore, I don't see posters, nothing on websites, and nothing on buses. I've seen Resistance 3 ads online, and on billboards, but nothing for Rise of Nightmares. I stand by my original point.
If PS3 owners have so many options, why is Dead Island selling numbers close to Resistance 3? Why are games like Killzone, Dues Ex, and InFamous 2 opening up to bigger launch weeks, sometimes significantly greater?
Resistance 3 has unique weapons, but a very generic feel, and online experience. Nothing about the game really makes it stand out, it has a fanbase the same size as Dead Space for a reason. It can be a good game, but just not appealing to most.
