I don't see why they should stop. If the ads are honest, no reason to. Those who don't advertise don't succeed. However, I think Bloodborne should be their front and center major product being marketed.
| Ruler said: I would wait for the sales numbers before making such a claim, tough bloodborne should get all the ads now as much as possible there i agree |
Well, I'm going by the Amazon charts and they are usually very accurate when you compare them to the NPD charts. I'm saying that its doing very bad sales wise even this heavy advertisement.
Also for the people saying to wait for the numbers, I don't think they will release the numbers, I'm pretty sure Driveclub has sold over one million by now yet they did not release any numbers. Driveclub was a mess, reviewed bad. They barely even mention Driveclub anymore. They're going to do the same with The Order 1886.
| PieToast said: Yes. I think geame publishers should always put metacritic into consideration and let it dictate their decisions. Just like how everyone makes their opinion on how good or bad a game is based on it's objective numbering system. |
Do you even know what metacritic does? It averages all the reviewers scores. And do you know what the reviewers said? It was a bad game, people are seeing all these bad reviews all over the internet, of course people aren't going to buy the game. I mean are you going to argue that if The Order received a 90+ on metacritic this game wouldn't be selling so much? I doubt anyone will, it goes the same way for bad reviews, people aren't going to buy a 65 metacrtic game. Of course I'm talking about a majority, there are people now starting to ignore metacritic but that doesn't include the general consumer.

They've probably already paid the this advertising, so stopping right now wouldn't ave them anything. They probably won't continue to advertise once the pre-paid marketing has run its course.

Ads and ad time have already been established in the budget; the money is as good as spent, so no.
| PlayMatt said: I think they could share the advertisement money of it between: LittleBigPlanet 3 (the younger public is also a public but I haven't seen almost any advertisement for it), Ratchet & Clank Reboot/Movie (for real, the movie is already ready, nobody has seen anything from the game yet, and almost nobody knows that this movie is gonna get its premier soon!) Fat Princess Adventures (Such a cool game on PS3/PSP, the new game looks focused mostly on casual gamers, but why would they buy it if nobody knows it exists?) Tearaway Vita/Unfolded (really deserves to be advertised!) Shadow of the Beast (a game for more hardcore/nostalgia gamers, but yet not any marketing for one year already!) |
Games like Fat Princess Adventures or Tearaway are niche games no matter how you advertise it it will never sell a lot because it's don't suit the taste of the mainstream gamers
PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m
Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m
Well, I guess it depends on what they want to do with the Order. If they want it to keep it known to the public to sell more copies, sure, keep advertising it. But if it's time to move on to the next thing, then stop advertising it.

Eh, Yes to some degree. Metacritic and reviews in general would not be around if there weren't people interested in it and they didn't have any impact on anything. Word of mouth is also very important. I'm not sure that The Order has great word of mouth, seems rather mixed.

They could advertise them on kids focused spaces, at least... I always see Nintendo advertising cartoony games and selling A LOTTT, Sony on the other way... only advertised LBP last gen and the first game was a monster in sales and the second game a monster in its debut!
The Bitch is back! And better then ever! #BritneyReturns
SONY Bring them BACK for PS4 and VITA!

The internet doesn't equal the general public. CoD for example has a highly negative image online and we know how much that sells.
