Forums - Gaming Discussion - Xbox exclusive D4 flops with less than 10k copies sold in first week (according to the game's leaderboards)

Saw this on Neogaf:

According to the leaderboards, as of this very moment less than 10,000 people have bought and played this game worldwide.

The game’s director, Swery, has stated that his team is not actively working on further episodes at this time and that the sales of Season One will determine if they are allowed to continue the story. Naturally, this episodic story ends on a cliffhanger.

What is the budget for this game?



Aren't this guy's games very niche anyway? But well don't expect a Japanese exclusive on the Xbone to sell well I guess.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Ouch. We're the expectations higher tho? I'm not so sure it was ever targeted at being a huge seller.



Expected... the dev is overrated and he has absolutely no selling power on its own. He is not Kojima or Miyamoto... hell not even Kamiya.

Too bad, the game seems fine, but it looms more suited for a low-profile multiplatform release, rather then an exclusive IMO.



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

Own fault. On the PS4 every game sold better. The multi-title are the best proof.



Did MS do any advertising for it??
Oh well I shall wait for a PS4 version hopefully (more likely PC though), yes MS Studios published it but in an off camera interview (really it was just a gamer playing D4 and him having a chat) at TGS he spoke as if it was an exclusive to XBO for now. So hopefully its ported in the fututre.



The game looked alright from what I have seen of it. Maybe it will have some legs or good word of mouth. The Xbox community is not really known for buying this type of genre/game though. It was mostly just used for list wars for exclusive games on internet forums.



They made the deal for the wrong console, and with the wrong company, thanks to Microsoft, we are fucked, we paid the first part and we will never get a sequel ...



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

Not surprising. It would have struggled for sales even if it was multiplat and PC. It had no chance being an exclusive on the console with the smallest user base, and the one least likely to be interested in this kind of game
