bad bad bad decision making from the high up in their company



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Why don't they sell? They are not military shooters. Or Space Shooters. And there is never any hype trains for them.



Agree with number 3.

their games might be niche but they are SO GOOD, i wish they sold more.



crap is usually mainstream, the good stuff is usually niche

Are you telling me people didn't like Demon's Souls? Then why didn't those people go buy Puppeteer?

People liked Demon's Souls more than any Beyonetta. So i'm not sure what you mean!

I'm trying to tell you your misconception of gamers not buying games = not liking games. I asked you, "how do you know that?" on which you replied "why are they not buying them?" as if it explained the lack of sales.

 

Hence why I ask "Didn't people like Demon's Souls"? Since the next project of SCE Japan, Puppeteer, bombed hard. Going by your logic, people didn't buy Puppeteer because they didn't like Demon's Souls. Hence the lack of sales for that company too.



1 and 2, no. 

3, yes.....their creations are very niche type games.
