Forums - Sales - Deadly Creatures, Tenchu, & Onechanabara are bombing (according to Amazon)

Deadly Creatures #385 in Video Games

Onechanbara:Bikini Zombie Slayers #403 in Video Games    (360 version is sitting at #172)

Tenchu: Shadow Assassins  #828 in Video Games

 

What really worries me is that (edited in) deadly creatures is being used as a barometer by other publishers, according to Matt of IGN.

Just as a comparison, Zack & Wiki cracked the top 20, and was always in the top 100 the first couple weeks of its release.

Yeah, I'm enjoying both Deadly Creatures and Tenchu. I didn't get into Onechanbara, but then again I've only given it 10 minutes.

Did any of those get advertising?

According to Amazon "We Cheer" is a success. ....... well not really. Didn't we have a rule about Amazon numbers?



Viper1 on 16 February 2009

Don't use Amazon tracking as any kind of gauge. Amazon can only sell how much it buys from the publisher. If they only buy 10 copies, it's going to be listed very low on the charts.

However, I heard some retailers aren't even carrying Deadly Creatures.

though i'm sure theyre not doing any sort of amazing, i'm sure theyre not doing that bad.

i wouldnt be suprised if onechanbara sells more on the wii than the 360...



saicho on 16 February 2009

uh... Onechanbara:Bikini Zombie Slayers is being used as a barometer by other publishers?



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.
