Lesson is to not change Dantes look.

Had no real effect on the sales of the game.

Maybe a smidge?

About as much effect that all that horrible feedback and jokes made about Call of Duty did on its sales.

Fans voted with their wallets.

How can Ninja Theory still be in business all their games have bombed?

Is this real life? Are people this short-sighted?

 

Edit: Nearly everything everyone is speculating on has no source. Yes, its sales are disappointing, but to call it a complete failure after 2-3 weeks is just dumb.


Let's see, people doesn't care about this game anymore even Capcom lowered its expectations to 1.2M (less than DMC4 on PS3 alone), Metal Gear Rising is coming in 2 weeks and a month after that God of War Ascension will be released.  DmC bombed.

Would have bombed even if it were Devil May Cry 5. People don't care about the series anymore. It's toast.

Not sure what these have to do with DmC. A new game in the Devil may Cry series was never going to do more than DMC4. Sequels to a game already released on the same console almost always see sales decreases. This is the rule with very few exceptions. That said, a lot of things have changed since in 5 years, and I don't think MG: R and God of War will do fantastically in sales either. DmC will likely finish around DMC2 lifetime. Not very good, but not the death of the franchise.

Oh no! They changed his hair style! That must be it!

Its called competition.

I can't imagine someone who would not buy one game they would have bought otherwise because of an equally niche title like MG: R. God of War, maybe since it has some broader appeal. Considering the buying habits of most gamers that are targeted by DmC and MG: R, I don't think it's very relevant.
