Anybody else notice this?

Left 4 Dead Release Date: November 17, 2008 (410,000)

Resistance 2 Release Date: November 4, 2008 (385,000)

What is going on here? Why would a multiplatform PC-centric 3rd party game that came out 2 weeks later outsell Sony's top exclusive for the holidays? Better Left 4 Dead advertising? I was always under the impression there was much more of that "internet hype" for Resistance and that usually means the games sell better.

Completed XBLA: 16 / 32
Completed Retail: 17 / 64
GS Completion %: 82.63%

"Strong game lineup in addition to Wii Music"?

Uhhhh I don't think those two should go together lol.

 

Let me ask you one question, just one, and I want you to answer it truefully.

- Have you played the game?

Pretty tame NPD thread, I might say.

Really? I think this was pretty exciting thread, of course you could be sarcastic, or you might have a different defination of tame than I do.

besides the 2million wii sold, pretty boring npd numbers. Wiifit numbers are kind of low, maybe its just me.

I have played it, albeit VERY brielfy, at EB one afternoon.  I can understand the casual market appeal I guess which is why it sells so well, but really (to me anyway) it didn't even feel like a game.



It's all about the game.

Yeah, consumers really hate the fact that the 360 gets these PC ports.

 

EDIT: And internet hype means jack squat.  It is called the Cloverfield effect.

I thought WF numbers were low too. Glad to see I'm not the only one. VGC overtracked it too, BTW. Which is amazing given that they severely undertracked the Wii itself.

Overall, VGC did a good job on everything - PS3 and X360 were very close, and most SW was good.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
