This question has been asked many times: Why do many PS3 games, such as Uncharted 2, get mediocre sales?
To be clear, the sales weren't bad; I'm sure it recouped costs and turned a profit, and it sold well compared to other PS3 exclusives, but compared to the other sales hits of the year, it's not close. And for a game that is of such universally praised quality and so seemingly mass-market friendly, it's puzzling.
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."
They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.
Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid
I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.
"Deep Silver, Dambuster Studios, and PLAION are today very happy and excited to announce that they have just released the second expansion (“SoLA”) for "Dead Island 2" (the said expansion is availableright now for PC and consoles via digital stores)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
For now, the quality of the game doesn't necessarily guarantee good sales.
Marketting and how well the franchise is known..
(CoD is a very established franchised compared to U2)
But I dont think the sales of U2 are bad.. i don't expect halo 3 sales. It's a much more new-er Ip then that.
It may have something to do with the amount of games that come out? us ps3 owners have multiplats such as assassins creed 2, batman, bioshock and then several exclusives throughout the year and not everybody can afford that many - hence sony games tend to have a long sales tail.
I know there have been many games I have missed soon after their launch simply because too much choice
Because the aren't good to sale more. people just don't want them.
and good thing don't need marketing. people will know it without marketing.
There are number of reasons why and if i had to name them it would take all day. Simply put games on ps3 haven't got that something SPECIAL which xbox360 games have u just want to play xbox360 game. Games are not that important on ps3 and if u ask me i would say to SONY gracefully leave the gaming industry with some dignity.
