Not surprising as Forza has never been as big as people claimed. The best selling entry in the franchise was bundled.I Sony actually promoted DC it could easily be over 900,000 already.This proves that reviews don'[t matter.DC is a good game with its problems just like any game,but it is enjoyable.

Oh come one, DC is average at best, the only reason it sells well is because it was hyped to death, Sony knew it was going to get poor reviews so they held back the reviews until after release so it wouldnt effect sales. To me that is a poor on Sony's part and a bad way to treat your customers 


have you played the game? If not than you can not speak on the quality. Everyone I know who has it enjoy the game,but as I said it has it's issues and some annoying things about it.Sony did not even promote it.People are buying it because they are interested.All of these excuses does not change the facts.Ryse was hyped but did not sell.

forza on x1 will win at the end .Just wait for the bundles. Forza is king of bundling

Most driveclub sales currently are from the bundles as well, at least in Europe where is available with both the black and white... For free (400 just like without any game).

 

And again, it feels so overtracked, US wise, I wouldn't be surprised if it was low on other territories tho

Most reviews are day before or even day of, if you have a bad game and shit reviews you launch early.   DC got good reviews, they had no idea of the post lauch issues they would have with it.  They knew more or less what they were getting and were more then fine with it.  7ish out of ten is generally accepted with no fuss.

Hypes to death LOL sure yahh maybe a year ago.   Luckly what it means to you means very little to rest of us.  


Reviews are irrelevant,but they are good.I don't know where this rule came from that a 70% is a bad score.Most games are just solid and games like COD that get great reviews are mediocre to me from my experience.It's just fanboy wars to bring up reviews.

The game was not bundled in the US though and if it i overtracked so is Forza.Either was people are playing the game.



If DC was just average and people would quickly get tired of it, the servers would be working by now and the free version would be up to get more interest. As it is I have a hard time staying up in the leader boards playing several hours a day.

Track racers may not be the 'it' thing for reviewers nowadays, seems enough people are having a lot of fun with it. Anyway I'm curious about the digital sales. I paid CAD 18 more for the physical release, the difference is even bigger in the UK I believe.

DC also got a lot of bad reviews and im sure the game was released before the review embargo lifted - It was hyped to death, every day there were articles and gameplay uploads (which turned out to look better than the actual game ended up being)

But anyway it seems no matter what Sony do they are beyond criticism in the eye of PS4 oweners, can you image the outcry if MS released DC will all the missing features and server issues, but becuase it's Sony it's acceptable

i don't have a clue where all these websites were uploading new videos etc every day or over hyped, that is pure exageration as is making the accusation PS4 owners don't criticize what Sony do!

 

their are good and bad reviews for all games, DC got good and bad reviews as did FH2 neither game is perfect, review scores really are almost pointless as i said and provided a link for in an earlier post, a lot of dirty play from big developers paying reviewers to give better than what the game deserves, the  best reviews are now done by the people who buy the games rather than from the main gaming/media websites.

So you are down to lies to support your false claims, im running DC on less then a year old $2.5k tv and i can attest DC looks awesome as good as any preview, and sony has taken massive amounts of shit on their own official forums and other game sites i cant imagine where you are pulling such foolishness out of.  Maybe out of thin air.  But.  Unless you claim the only ones bitching about DC are nintendo and xbox fanboys, could very well be true.  Ps4 domination has really soured those peoples days.

Your post has just proved my "no matter what Sony do they are beyond criticism in the eye of PS4 oweners" comment correct, as you are cleary on the defensive that I dare to say something negative about Sony or DC and accuse me of lies and false claims

If you spent any time on neogaf, dualshockers, N4g etc and their twitter feeds there were loads of daily DC posts, vids etc on the built up for release.

I have no problem with Sony / MS / Nintendo or preference, they all have pro's and con's , good games, bad games I enjoy them all, Im just not blinkered to defend one brand no matter what

its not defending when you call some one out for their blatent lies.  They are taking a shit load of SHIt for the DC issues, you saying other wise is nothing but a lie.  That alone proves you are not worth continuing this discussion on with. 

later gator.
