Dear lord a 81 meta score is a flop? I am honestly stunned. Can't wait after 1 day when Sony announces that Infamous sells 1 million in one day and we still didn't hear the Titanfall numbers.. Just wait and see!

It's not a flop, but put it in VGChartz' perspective: they expect for whatever reason 5-7 million sales. I don't think there are that many games that score an 81 and sell 5 million. In that case it is a flop.


your post is a flop. See,I can make stuff up 2.

Do keep in mind, Xbox One owners have a far larger library of games to choose from at the moment. I think a lot of PS4 owners will flock to whatever big release comes out as their options are more limited.


far larger libary as in how? 


Maybe I'm wrong, but aren't there more games actually out now on Xbox One? Not talking about little indie arcade things, but full game wise? I might be wrong.

Because real gamers don't count indies.

A real gamer plays every type of game.

maybe exclusive wise,but that's about it. titanfall and deadrising 3 come to mind. I know there were 2-3 more at launch,but the rest are multiplats for the most part.

Lets be serious in gaming now a days FPS are king I mean look at a horrible game in Killzone it got a 74. Extremely difficult to get a good score as a console exclusive AAA game when you're not an FPS or a game with guns involved.

According to this very site, when including games with at least 10K sales, the PS4 has 22 games, and the Xbox One has 23.

Its not a flop. It's story is what killed it. The weight of the decisions that you make do not bear down enough on the story. I will find out for myself.

that's just vgchartz in general. I'd be fine if it makes it to a million. I don't care anything past that. I'm just weird that way. I'll be playing it on friday.
