No marketing, no hype, no sales...

+ it is a Kinect stravaganza.

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

isnt this a kinect game?

Depends how you wanna play it. You can play the full game with Kinect, but you can also play the entire game with just the controller.

You can use the kinect or just play with a controller.

It was expected. Deadly premonition was a shitty game that only gained a cult status due to its awfulness, sort of an Ed Wood effect.
And this game being an episodic download on a console whose users rarely get downloadable games, and using failed Kinect accessory, it was destined to flop hard.
They should be happy that they sold 10K.

You mean to tell me that Xbox users rarely get downloadable games? I thought OG Xbox was the first console to have online marketplace implemented on.

It got average scores of 7 & 8's. And most reviewers agree that Kinect is well implemented in this game.

Serves it right with that Metascore of just 77. That score = Terrible game.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

This game is not on OG XBox, or on X360. It's on a console named XBox One, and that console is well known to have very few indie and downloadable games, due to the well known and published restrictive MS policies.

Xbone HAD a drought of downloadable titles. It's seen a slew of them over the last while. Any idea that Xbone fans are not used to or "rarely get" downloadable games is just false.

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 ...

Exactly.  While Sony probably wouldn't have had TV ads, unless it was in a montage of PS4 titles, they would have definitely featured them at one or two of their conferences.  They would have also definitely had at least 3 or 4 videos about the game featured on their Youtube channel and blog.  You also have the fact that PS fans seems to enjoy a much wider spectrum of games.

So, sales wouldn't have been spectacular, but they would have been MUCH better than this.

Time to go multiplat. This is the problem with going exclusive these days.
