Little big people?

Heavenly sword is not a flop, this is stupid trolling. I agree with hus the nintendo trolls keep coming.

Im leaving this thread peace..

Remember that Metroid Prime 3 and Bioshock were both on shelves for 4 days and still sold well over 3 times as many units as Heavenly Sword has ...

For a highly anticipated game, often cited as a major reason why people will buy a PS3, (roughly) 75,000 units sold in its first day would be a disapointment

LMAO

You dont even have a clue what  Warhawk sold no one does, there goes your whole post.

@Parokki

Warhawk isn't doing bad, it's at what 134K or something WITHOUT ONLINE included

Online would be lesss maybe, so itmust have sold around 200K

Thast good for ONLINE ONLY game

 And the user bases are 2 and 5 times bigger.

 your right, bioshock and Metroid are flops.

Also untill ndp numbers come out, vg number are meaningless since they still "update" when ndp is released. 

Leo-j Heavenly Sword will have very very very short legs due to it's length. It will be under 10K by week 4, and gone after that. Games that short are returned fast. People then buy the returns rather than new copies, and then return them again. The game will get in an endless cycle of rents/returns and it will never sell well. This is the problem with short games. Their best chance of high sales is in week 1.

Btw, I agree that Warhawk didn't flop.  For an online-only game it's sales were very very good. 

Not everything ...

Just everything without a proven track record of selling more than 2 Million units ... and I haven't been wrong yet.

 lol, I opened this thread just to see what your responce was...you didn't dissapoint.

By your logic every game that came out on the PS2 after the third year was a rediculous failure.  The fact is that first week sales rarely show huge influence from total install base except when the install base is extremely low (ie < 3m or so).  In the case of larger install bases it equates to the game having longer legs rather then huge first weeks.

 The exception to the impact on first week sales is of course highly anticipated AAA titles.  A game like Halo 3, SMG, GTA IV, Brawl, etc... will have a larger dependence on install base for its first week sales but is also more reliant on install base for its legs as a direct result.

So we'r still stuck on Motorstorm n Resistance being 1 million sellers so far

UNCAHRTED, RATCHET - A little help please
