Forums - Sales Discussion - So is Beyond officially the flop of the year now?

Games like puppeteer, okami, vanquish or beyond two souls sells like crap. And on the other hand games like COD or BF sells a ton. This is gaming industry.

Edit: Damn Rayman and TW101 both platform/action games lost to Beyond lol.

If Nintendo kept Rayman exclusive to WiiU and launched it when WiiU really needed a game it could have sold double what it did.

Wonderful 101 is a pretty big flop IMO, I'm a huge fan of Platinum Games, and this was one of the big games pushing me to buy a WiiU, but not anymore.

Also, while Gears of War Judgement sold okay, it was a complete flop to me. It comepletly failed me as a Gears game, and put the final nail in my MS coffin.

300k is a respectable number.


300k for a supposed AAA game on a system with a 80m base is not good at all.  They're not even remotely close to breaking even at this point.



Stop hating and start playing.

DamnTastic on 22 October 2013

Fuse, Killer is Dead, The wonderfull 101, Lost planet 3, Rayman Legends, puppeteer, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time..
I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch of other games.
So take your pick, I wouldn't say beyond is a flop

If so, it's more evidence that Ubisoft was either deliberately self-sabotaging, or dumb enough to believe that their newborn Shanghai division was capable of delivering a quality port.

Malice or idiocy. That's all it comes down to.

Honestly this is the first time I hear about Wonderful 101 I was thinking flop among triple A games that get a lot of attention.

My Ebay store

Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.

please stop with your ridicilous conspiracy theories, maybe the wiiU fanbase are not fond of buying third party games



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

This.

As a percentage of the install base, Beyond did badly, where as Wonderful 101 didn't do so badly.  Rayman did horribly though.

As it is, Beyond got 1/3 of 1% market share. 

Wonderful 101 got 5% market share.
