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


isnt this a kinect game?

Kinect-capable.  You can use the controller, as well.



Around the Network

I've seen this game before but have no idea what its about or desire to find out more. How did it review?

Some people have lost the plot saying this was MS's fault, but they could definitely do more to create a direct channel with their core gaming community like sony has with the Playstation blog.



Only semi-related but i wonder how well Oddworld New'n'tasty did on PS4. It does have more store ratings than some high profile games but that's probably a bad way to measure things



On another note, indie aren't considered front loade... This is an indie game right?



Without stereotyping fanbases too much, this game seems to be:

- Classic "adventure" style gameplay with a focus on narrative.

- With a very oddball Japanese style.

Neither of those things I think mesh particularly well with XB1's current userbase. It's basically standing on its own among everything else that MS seems to be doing which is completely different.

PS4 or PC would've had more of a userbase match, imo.

Then again, Swery doesn't exactly make high budget games... so I'm surprised to see him saying that it hasn't sold enough.

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

Fixed.



Ah well that sucks. I'll pick it up eventually, or maybe I'll wait for it to be on GWG.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Well, even for such game, only 10 000 sales is really terrible,  they earn nothing.

 

It sucks, i thought i would get the sequel for the end of the year



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

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

 

Not surprised what with it being tied to the X1. This kind of game just doesn't sell to that fanbase. Putting it on PC or PS4 would have made way more sense



What's D4? 10k is a disaster regardless though.
