Ok, so this game has been out for a while now, and there's a few reviews out... some people seem underwhelmed by it but it hasn't had exceptionally negative reviews. So, any idea why a franchise like Castlevania is doing so poorly. Only just managing 102,000 sales across both the PS3 and Xbox 360. Now even for a mediocre reception those sales figures are terrible. What happened?!

There was already a thread about this.

I would guess It's because the hype level.

I checked the first couple of pages didn't see anything. Still, I was under the impression this forum was rather quick-fire, threads rarely seem to last longer than a day or two so I didn't want to go digging deeper and necro a thread that people considered done.

Honestly, I didn't see much hype. There was a little sure, but there was far more hype over Titanfall, Thief, InFamous SS, and MGSV: Ground Zeros. I've heard very little outside of the normal reviews and previews that most AAA games get.

Your title is an exact copy lol

Locked.

And that's what caused low sales. No one cared about the game because they were paying attention to the games you listed. It's the same case with GTA V and the games that released in August/September.
