Considering AC Liberation was bundled from day one I wouldn't say 400 K is a good sales number. But it is certainly better than all of Sony's exclusive's have managed this year.


Well we cant prove that it did bad either so yeah lol

Are games other then Halo, AssCreed and CoD selling nowadays?? If there's proof we need next-gen now, I'd say that was in - when hyped games fall completely flat.


Yes, I could name off plenty this year that has done good.

*I'll clarify what I meant - are any non-well established franchise games selling well? We seem to just be getting the same games every year and nothing else penetrates the market.



Hasn't dishonoured sold well? It's a new ip I can think of from the of my head. Watch Dogs too? Hmm, I'm sure there's one more....



i wouldn't call battle royale with 76 a flop or resi 6 with 3m+

Battle Royeale is the biggest sony title this year and people expected it to do a lot better.  It isn't charting very well and the score is not great either.  For a game that has been wanted for more than a decade this has been a huge dissapointment.  Resident evil sold well off of its brand name, not off of quality.  Over all they hurt there brand name though by selling a bad game.

Ahh I see.  Well I think Dishonored, Minecraft, Day Z, Sleeping Dogs (although not really a new ip), and a few other games did pretty well for themselves.  New Ips struggle late in gens so this will likely change during the new gen when people minds open up a bit.  I see what you are saying though.

Yeah it's really unfortunate.  I was really let down when I played the beta myself.  It had a lot of potential but for whatever reason it just didn't work well.  Honestly I believe they just tried too hard to make it a deep fighter.  In reality there is better deep fighter games out there and this type of game is much better suited with chaotic fun which it doesnt have.   Because of this it just feels stiff and clunky.  That is just my opinion on it though.




       

still thought this game sell well! Where all the people who wanted this game for the past decade now??? Wonder What SuperBots thinking now.? (facepalm) lol
