Enslaved: Odyssey to the West underperformed because it was released at the wrong time of year, publisher Namco Bandai has claimed.
Marketing VP Carlson Choi told Siliconera that it was a mistake to release the Ninja Theory-developed adventure title in October, during a packed holiday season.
From Xfire: "It's not unusual to see the occasional bad PC port, but these ones make the bad PC ports look great in comparison."
To be fair with GTAIV, it was a very CPU bound game, released at a time when the vast majority of PC gamers still believed that the CPU was nearly irrelevant, and that you only needed a good GPU. 95% of "gaming" builds back then were using turds for CPUs.

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West may be a cult classic now, but it's also a fascinating predecessor to the popular cinematic games of today.
This game deserves a full remake. Good game but could be so much more on modern hardware.
Still a great game a sleeper hit to most people I so want a sequel to this game but I am not holding my breath.
One of the few games that I finished. I have actually finished this game on pc and Xbox.
It may have sold a little better had it been released some other time because other games like castlevania los and fallout new vegas were games that were released around the same time and those games were miles better than enslaved.
I borrowed it from a friend and enjoyed it, but the replay value is low. I would rent or borrow.
Should've been out for $39.99, similar to BlazBlue:CS. I don't think I would've shelled out 60.00 for the game. It's a great experience though.
like they blamed SONY for heavenly sword!
Its always the blame game with NT. If it is truly as good of a game as some people are claiming it to be then it would've sold regardless.
