You heard it here, a game has to sell a million in less than a month to be successful.

My 2500 PS2 flops thread is ringing some serious bells right now.

If this was on an HD console, and it flopped, we wouldn't hear about it, like the dozens of other flops on the HD consoles. The Wii catches all the flak like it is the only system that can have flop games.

Now that we're at it, Valkyria Chronicles should've been on the Wii. Dragon Quest Swords blew that thing out of the water, and it was an on-rails RPG.




See how ridiculous this is?

This post? yes.

Axumblade, thank you very much. That was exactly what I was trying to say and I was just too tired to explain it.

Baby legs grow into bigger legs as time passes :P

They also get covered in poop and baby powder.

I dunno what I'm talking about. I'd just like to see if we can further the analogy.

I like the intentions, but the end results are almost never what you expect them to be. The whole thing just makes for one grand spewing contest, and no one wins.

Just enjoy the game if you have it, and give it time. I'm not saying that this game cannot be successful (See: Boom Blox, de Blob, World at War, etc.), but... let's throw a "celebration" when it hits 500k.

Nice adjustments though.

Well, lets hope that this game starts to pick up because even though it is a little short, it still is a great game. I'm hoping it will cross the 1 mill in sales.

So basically game the people here wanted to flop, actually is selling to a point it'll actually break even and even profit for the developer but not high enough for ultra mega bragging rights on the Vgchartz.

Okay, but why do people call legs after a couple weeks? What if it were to suddenly drop off and have sub-1k sales? Not that that's likely to happen, but I think people have forgotten what "legs" were supposed to be.

Appolose: You're really overthinking it.

 

So, where did I go wrong?

 

I think all Montana is trying to say is that there are people who are on here that he respects the opinions of but when sales get involved, they sometimes go into extremist fanboy mode, which is not anything that montana wants anything to do with. He doesn't respect people who freak out because a game did "zomg 1 million after 3 weeks! suck it!" mentality, which some of the Nintendo fans lower themselves to when predicting things of the future, so if they were proved right, they might act as pretentious as some of the other forms of fanboys that are on here.

 

 

 And, extremist fanboy mode is when you respond to trolls?

It now looks quite likely that this game will not flop (i.e. it will likely generate profit and probably sell enough for Sega's expectations).

Unless you think this was a big budget production of course. I don't think it was, given the simplicity of the graphics, short length and absence of any significant multiplayer.
