Forums - Sales - Riddick and Wheelman = Epic Fail in US sales? Already down to $39.99

Not going to give direct links, but if you go to Gamestop Wheelman is down to $39.99 new.

Riddick is already down to $39.99 new on Newegg as well. (360 version only)

Discuss.

Working in the largest retail chain in the US I'll give word if a permanent price drop occurs, but Wheelman was actually sell well where I work. Riddick on the other hand seemed to be moving "average" units for a new release.

Credit goes to Killbomb.



It's just that simple.

I blame Vin Diesel ever since the Pacifier I can't stand seeing his face instead of Jason Statham's. Not to mention the Wheelman game looked really bad I watched my friend play and it looked like a really bad version of GTA.

How is Weelman doing on the charts? Is it tracked yet?

Riddick I think will come up in next weeks numbers.

Im pretty sure both games will sell bad, just a couple of hundred thousand copies tops.



But...but..but... Vin Diesel was in those games.
OT : Didn't the original Riddick sell quite well on XBOX ?



are you sure these games didnt launch with a cheap price? banjo and tip did.

Can't say about Riddick, but Wheelman bombed hard (as did Wanted, Silent Hill, Star Ocean). At this point, I think it's getting extremely hard for new IP to compete with established big name franchises on the HD consoles.

Maybe if they are AAA and well advertised they can !
Look at assassins creed ! 8 million for a new IP ?
Gears of War was a new IP this gen !
Uncharted, Resistance, LBP, Mass Effect, and Bioshock sold well for new IPs.



damn didnt know they were that low priced so soon they werent so good reviewed games so that could be the reason they didnt do good i liked the cover system in Riddick though

No. Only Wii games fail. -_-
