Ni No Kuni deserved better than that.

Fall/winter can't come soon enough. That's all there is to say, really.

Anyhow, Fire Emblem opened up quite nicely. And this time it seems VGC didn't muck up too bad with the Pre-Orders! Woo hoo! (Hopefully this means they are getting luckier better at tracking them.)

EA said outright that they aren't going to invest anymore into the franchise if it doesn't hit those numbers.

Apparently, the 2-3 million that the last two games each got isn't good enough for them. I don't play Dead Space, but I find that disturbing.

Seriously? If so, EA are hiding behind this number because they want to stop with the series. That's my explanation.


As a big dead space fan, I don't mind if it ends. The 3 games did what needed to be done. It doesn't need endless sequals.

Granted I know that's not why EA is saying that.

Very true. I could never see this series being a big franchise.

I'm going to be watching those Dead Space numbers closely. They say it needs 5 million total...judging by how the last two games in the series sold, I doubt it.

They need 5 million for what? To make profit?

This is correct. They want 5+ million for both platforms combined otherwise there may be no more Dead Space games. They also have made the games more action oriented to increase sales.

I don't care for the franchise, but that is undeserved for the fans and the devs. The game is selling in the millions, that is great and absolutely sustainable for an AAA-franchise.


It's just another great franchise ruined by EA greed/market direction.

EA has killed off a lot of franchises. They will continue to hurt other franchises as well.

EA was most likely responsible for the fall of Bioware (DA2 not fairing well, ME3 ending fiasco)

EA not doing anything with the Burnout franchise (Burnout Crash lol, and having Criterion direct all the NFS games. Burnout Paradise was open world where as all the old Burnouts were pure course crashing fun.)

Don't even get me started on all The Sims expansion/DLC cash cowing.

And of course EA turning Dead Space into a action oriented franchise with a sprinkle of jump scares for "sales". Dead Space 1 vs Dead Space 3 differences are staggering. Not to say I didn't enjoy DS3 because I did, but it could have been so much more. DS1 was a near 10/10 for me, DS2 a 9/10 and DS3 is barely a 8/10 for me and I do mean barely.

Last Skate game was pretty bad to.

I'd say their best Franchise for quality and money is probably Battlefield, though the last campaign was laughable.



It's just that simple.

Sly Cooper overtracked in pre-orders? God damn I'm sorry but the pre-order chartz are so unreliable nowadays. For all I know Gears of War Judgement has 1m+ pre-orders already -.-
