| Seece said: Why is there always an excuse that lies on the developer and publisher??? "Didn't market enough" "Went multiplatform" ect ect |
They're not excuses, they're reasons. Everything happens for a reason.
Guys, Sonic Flopped, Arkham Origins flopped, AC 4 did, Deus EX flopped, Marketing is a problem but not the main issue, the real problem is people arent buying Wii Us and those who have one aint buying games for it, If there's only 4 million Wii Us out there no game will sell much even a great one like Pikmin 3 that game deserved 2 million at least

People stop saying it flopped
The 4 Sonic games on Wii had an average FW of 38k In USA, 17k in Europe and 5k in Japan which totals 60k. These games went on to have average lifetime sales of just under 1.8 million.
Sonic Lost World had a FW of 28k in USA, 10k in Europe and 2k in Japan which totals 40k. If this game has similar legs as the Wii Sonic games then it should sell around 1.2m which isnt bad.

No, an excuse is to lessen the blame on the real culprit.
Its a fun platformer but the fact they took a lot of the speed out means that I doubt many core fans bothered with it. Though I must say I only saw it in one Nintendo direct.

| xJbownagex said: This may be old news, but whatever. You may/ may not know that Sonic Lost World flopped. HARD. Selling roughly 38,000 in America it's first week. For a game that everyone was hyping up to be a system seller, that is atrocious. But, this time poor reception and the Wii U's install base weren't to blame. Sega did a TERRIBLE job marketing this game. I think I saw one television ad, no website ads, and only one standee in a Gamestop. Not only was the game poorly marketed, it was poorly planned. Why..why would you launch an exclusive title for a system that doesn't have many users THE SAME DAY AC4 AND BF4 come out. Not to mention, Wii Party U (not that that did much better either, however it did great in Japan.) had just come out as well as Arkham Origins. Sending that game out at that point is suicide. Even worse is the 3DS version, which is probably due to the aftermath of Pokemon X/Y. I expect atleast the game to have some sort of legs, hopefully long enough ones to atleast get to 500k, but Sega should've re-evaluated and sent the game out later than the planned release date. I feel like early December would've been good, as it would've filled in for Donkey Kong. |
Just wondering if you've had a chance to play it, and if you would recommend the purchase? A lot of the reviews were less than flattering, making me think twice about buying it at full price.
"Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child."

What was the point of the 3 Game deal with Nintendo if Nintendo weren't going too promote the games?

Ive seen this game advertised quite a bit on TV actually, mostly on Nickelodeon though.
