Was launching Res 2 a week after COD WaW in others a wise move?? I think it could have disappointing debut sales and very disdappointing lifetime sales.


It was a terrible move the sequels to 3 major FPS franchise to be released within a week of each other (Gears of War 2, Resistance 2, Call of Duty 5) I of them had to dissapoint. Call of Duty 4 was far superior to Resistance, it sold better, its more popular its more played. So obviously people are gonna but the sequel to the better game. But i think Xmas will help Resistance 2.

i dont understand why everything to do with ps3 is all of sudden getting adjusted down? whats going on? are you getting some new data from somewhere?

Yeah NPD had far lower sales for Resistance 2, LBP and a bit lower sales for Gears 2. All of them got adjusted.

Why doesn't anyone complain when 360 or Wii related things are overtracked?

Didn't fall off as much as Gears 2. 1.4 million to less than 500,000.



Heavens to Murgatoids.

Gears of War is a third person shooter...

I thought 304k was low. 237k is just ridiculous. What are all of the PS3 owners buying?

@ skeeuk up against cod waw though isnt it.... i know it will be the second week for cod but still.

 

well cod4 is just well popular imo, im playing online now and its just superb the way it all works, but they had to release R2 at sometime and its on the shelfs now to be purchased.

over time it will sell very well, its not as big ip as say gears is, but it should do fine overall.

Resistance wasnt that special of a game thats probably effecting it, but the main reason was everybody was waiting for COD5.

COD4 killed the Resistance online community
