Forums - Sales - Wow! Saints row 2 completely bombed on PS3

Its still on only 0.28 million sales while the 360 version is already on 0.62 million. Whats wrong with PS3 people. Hardly ever buying games.



End of '08 predictions (made by theprof00): PS3: 20m, 360: 23.5m, wii: 42m

Now Playin':  PS3|Resistance 2, LBP, Uncharted and Fifa 09, PSP| Ratchet and Clank: Size matters, 360| Gears of war 2 and Fallout 3.

Yeah PS3 people hardly ever buy games {decides to ignore PES & FIFA)
____

Saints Row 1 was a Xbox 360 exclusive.....don't expect the PS3 fanbase to be familiar witht he franchise..



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Yeah but it has got quite a lot of advertising here in the UK. Fifa and Pro are understandable as Euro is PS3 land and Football games are very popular so they match.

they only play football games , (as i do) and most of them are casual gamers buying the machine for only pro evo or fifa...



Thank you for that info, 360 fan...

Should I compare PES 2009 PS3 vs PES 360? hmm? hardly ever buying games? well, didn't have problems with outselling the 360 on Fifa, Far Cry 2, and GTA 4 - all in others, with the smaller PS3 userbase there.

Well look at the ration

2.4:1....in favour of 360

nowadays that isn't how multiplat games sell as Ps3 has started to eat up more of 360's sales...hence brining down the ratio.

but in the case of Saints Row it was known as an xbox franchise due to the first one being exculsive....& the first one sold what 2 Million....so combined these versions have sold 800K already..

if anything the franchise is doing better...

This is just a trolling thread. It's a sequel to a popular 360 game, and PS3 owners aren't accustomed with the series. That's not such a bad number.

Locked.



 

 

@ Xen
Obviously football games are going to sell like mad on the PS3 since euro is PS3 land. But I'm talking worldwide mate. Saints row 2 completely bombed worlwide while the 360 version is a likely million seller.

Sandbox games are kinda played out. I liked Saints Row, but the whole time I was telling myself "Wait'll GTA 4 comes out. It's gonna crush this game!" After playing GTA 4 (wich managed to not TOTALLY crush Saints Row -despite being a better game) I'm a little burned out on the genre. No doubt, others are too.

.90 million sales is nothing to scoff at, though.

What console was the main advertising for in the UK? the adverts I saw had a 360 box at the end in front of the PS3 one.

But like said, it's a sequal to a exclusive x-box game. If you look at the other multiplatform games released that week, Dead Space sold more on PS3 and Far Cry 2 sold more on PS3 in Europe.

America will always swing things like that though. Japan is a non-factor for a game like that.

 



Hmm, pie.
