What flops did you expect to be a success and successful games you expected to be flops?

Flops: Wonderful 101, Sonic Lost World, Rayman Legends.

Successful games: Wii Party U.

why would you think those games WOULDNT flop?

OT are going with just games? cause console wise Wii U and game wise. honestly. just about every 3rd party game for the system. Especially the CODs and ACs they werent going to do PS360 numbers but damn. I guess that comes down to low console sales.

I thought they wouldn't flop because W101 has lots of praise by fans, Sonic tends to be a million seller, and Rayman has lots of praise and Origins sold more.


W101 has praise from fans, true. Too bad there arent that many fans, that game was about as niche as you can get.

Sonic got mixed reviews and released on a platform that wasnt and stilll isnt doing too hot to begin with, even taking 3ds numbers into account that version had to go against Pokemon, but still sold better than WIi U one.

Rayman hasnt been a huge seller since PS1 era. It can get all the praise it wants people arent going to rush out to buy Rayman not at full price and it went against GTA5

i thought Lego City Undercover would break 1 million and save Wii U.



I thought lbp Karting would do better sales wise,but that's the only I can think of.



I was surprised Gears of War Judgement did so poorly in comparison to the rest of the series. Still not so sure why, guess people really missed Marcus Fenix.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Good one, totally forgot about COD vita!



i never imagined the success of Luigi´s Mansion 2.
Also, never expected COD GHOSTS to be such a flop on Wii U.

Yeah, with so many problems it's astonishing it's made it to 890k.

Succes: Saints row IV
Really thought that game would bomb hard

Glad it did well though, very fun!

 

Having said that, sales did drop.  Hopefully they invest strongly in a next-generation reboot!
