Analysis of how the Ratchet and Clank franchise has performed this generation compared to last generation.

VGChartz - "When Ratchet and Clank debuted on the Playstation 2 in 2002 the game enjoyed critical acclaim and commercial success, going on to sell nearly 3 million units which is extremely uncommon for a new property. Each successive game in the franchise has seen a drop in sales compared to the previous game, the PS3 edition experienced the largest drop of ~30% from the previous entry, and a ~39% drop from the franchise's average on the Playstation 2. Still Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction has seen solid sales on the PS3 this generation, with the game's current total standing at 1.51 million. So why has the franchise seen such a large decrease in sales? Is it the smaller install base, a decrease in quality or something else? Read on to find out what we decided."

Id say the install base being smaller than it was in the ps2 days but i dont know. Also though in my opinion i think the first R&C game was a huge hit for kids and i think most Ps3 owners around launch and a little after were at least 16 and up because of the high price most parents would of bought their kids 360's or Wii's, this is all just my opinion though.

and like the article mentioned the lack of online play. It kinda makes SOME people wanna wait till the game drops in price to purchase it but then by that time they could of just forgot about it or their could be something better out.

im 27 and I could not wait to play the first release, I just love these old school platforms.

But I do think that this sort of game play is going out now, not forever it will return, but for now guys just seem to wana shoot guns, and do it online
