I don´t think so....
we could find a good number of games with similar situations in any given generation (high anticipation - bad reviews - poor sales performance)...... 1080 Avalanche for the Gamecube..... Hybrid Heaven for the N64.....Aliens Colonial Marines for Xbox360/PS3..... The 5th Element for PS..... the list can go on and on..., Devil´s Third is just another one.

"Wii not passing Psone.DS not passing PS2."
LOL. Those are not tragedies in any sense....... All those devices sold very, very well, they´re just 4 of the 5 best selling consoles ever.

I think the Konami - MGS incident will be remembered through decades, especially when a new MGS/Silent Hill,or a game from Kojima productions releases. Ppl will bring this up through the years.

Offcourse not, Devils third is totally irrelevant, you acting like main Zelda get those reviews.

I don't get it. How is a console not passing sales of another console considered tragedy?

It has something of a chance on PC, surely.

Rare left Nintendo in 2002. And the biggest tragedy is the Zelda u isn't here yet.....

You mean obviously tragedies for Nintendo fans

Rare left Nintendo in 2002. And the biggest tragedy is the Zelda u isn't here yet.....

This, the game won't even be a footnote in a decade, it'll be lucky if anyone even remembers it exists by the start of the new year.

The last two console generations in general are the source of gamings' greatest tragedies:

- Paid online becomes widely acceptable
- DLC
- Microtransactions
- Incomplete, buggy releases with fans serving as testing departments
- Remake after remake to fill the void of new and interesting ideas
- Zelda's underwhelming presence in stark contrast to its Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess greatness
- The downfall of Halo
- The burnout of Need for Speed
- The rise and fall of Dead Space
- The destruction of Rare, and Banjo-Kazooie in particular
- The casualization of Smash
- The despicable, though commercially successful, reconstruction of Fire Emblem
- The slaughter of Sonic

Truly, PC gamers are the only ones who have been spared for the most part these last few years, with the rise of Valve and other creative content creators.
