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.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
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.
