Forums - Sony - Will Ratchet & Clank PS4 avoid being the lowest selling mainline title in the series?

Total:66

Some might want to argue Nexus was mainline or that neither that nor this one are mainline..but whatever. I'm going with Nexus wasn't and this one is.

The main titles saw its sales decline gradually, even though Crack in Time is often considered the best.

3 Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando PS2 2003 Platform Sony Computer Entertainment 1.44 0.83 0.26 0.25 2.78
4 Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal PS2 2004 Platform Sony Computer Entertainment 1.31 0.74 0.31 0.22 2.57
5 Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction PS3 2007 Platform Sony Computer Entertainment 0.91 1.09 0.08 0.45 2.54
6 Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time PS3 2009 Platform Sony Computer Entertainment 1.03 0.51 0.03 0.25 1.83

Can the reboot, with its 40$ price point and cross media promotion avoid lowering the bar further?

 

P.S.: EU numbers for Crack in time seem lower than they should be but I have no proof.

It will be fine. And... where is Into the Nexus

Despite the trend that is shown on that chart, I think the fact that it will be on PS4 will guarantee R&C good sales.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Aside from being budget priced it was also smaller than all the other games.. It's midway between Quest for booty and a regular release, why I didn't consider it mainline.

A quest for booty?

I think it will manage to not lower the bar further, mainly since a high profile known exclusive such as Ratchet and Clank is needed in the PS4's library.

I think it will get past a million, thanks to the price and the movie

Oh It had physical copies in Europe, I remember buying it retail it was actually really short. Fair enough.
