Battle royale flopped. Its as simple as that, although I think it will pass 1m once released in japan.
I hope we see a 2nd game at the ps4's launch, launch is always a good time to force people to buy into a franchise they otherwise wouldn't. I personally think A big part of its failure was how confused its artstyle. Hopefully they work on that mainly, add another 10 characters including (sypro, Crash etc). Also the unkind reviews didn't help, I think people really need toe xperience it for themselfs. All the things the reviews said were mostly true, but most never truly acknowledged that the game is still one of funnest 4player (local multiplayer) games out. They got too caught in the technicalities of you not being able to finish combos and such nonsense (IMO). AT launch people would pick up anything and it would turn the franchise into a certified hit.
