Why Did Bionic Commando Rearmed Outsell Bionic Commando?

Luke Plunkett: "You may have heard. Capcom's Bionic Commando revamp has tanked, and tanked in a big way, selling only 27,000 units during the month of May. Which begs the question: why?

After all, the same developers (Grin) released a Bionic Commando game last year that lacked the advertising, budget and horsepower of the "main" title, yet it still managed to sell over 130,000 copies during its first week on sale, despite being a port of a difficult, antiquated arcade/NES title."

2 - I can sum it up better.
Bionic Commando: Rearmed = Good
Bionic Commando (2009) = Bad

I also have to say the use of the word "antiquated" is more than a little insulting for a game that outplays it's successor.

3 - boicott
BC:R didn't lack advertising. There are still like 20 videoes and stuff on the psn that was released prior to the game.
Capcom still have to add trophysupport to BC:R like they said at release.
And who wouldn't like to boicott capcom. F them.
And Grin? Wanted and Terminator are two fantastic AAA titles. not.
