I expected to lbp vita to outsold lbp and lbp2 but it flop



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

Expected to flop: Wii Party U, COD Declassified
Expected to sell: Puppeteer, LittleBigPlanet Kart

COD Declassified is the embodiement of Sony's moneyhatting, and all that Nhillistic Software stands for combined with a major brand name. That game was never going to sell. 

Pupeteer was niche. Sony should have marketed it more, and LBP Karting is Modnation Racers with Sackboy. I didn't think it would do very well either.

What I'm saying is that I'm surprised it sold as much as it has, (890k) considering incredibly low reviews.

Gran Turismo 5: I honestly though it wouldn't reach 6 millions.
And for the record, GTA V: I think everybody expected big number as always, but not that HUGE.

I expected less sales from Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition on PS4.

Successes= W.o.W.
Flops= None.

I would have said Wii U would be a success if this was pre-E3 2012... but as soon as the show was over, and we knew hardly anything more about the Wii U than we did the year prior and the promise of unprecedented 3rd party support and partnerships vanished into thin air, it was painfully obvious something was wrong with the future of this console.

Hey, come on. They had fireworks. How did that not make you believe?!

Twisted Metal.

Vice versa? Nothing. I don't think there was ever a game I thought would sell poorly only for it to sell a lot.
