The Last Guardian on PlayStation 4 Sells an Estimated 484K Units First Week at Retail

The action-adventure video game from Sony Interactive Entertainment - The Last Guardian - sold 484,267 units first week at retail, according to our estimates. First week sales can be viewed on the VGChartz Global Weekly Chart for the week ending December 10.

[Gazondaily]

It's a niche game. Still, 10 years in development but I think the figures aren't that bad at all.

[gangsta_red]

You also have to figure how much money not only Sony poured into this but how much the studio lost because of this. No way they could have recouped that loss with those sales.

Niche game?

[Goldby]

it wasnt actively being developed for 10 years

EDIT: 99 upvotes. you guys are awesome.

NEXT ROUND ON ME!

[KickSpinFilter]

No guns Bang Bang etc. A game about a Dog Bird and a boy that's pretty Niche

[dcbronco]

Exactly Gangsta, Sony can add it to the pile of games that loses a ton of money. But what are the four out of ten that makes so much money they break even on exclusives. The LoU does its job. Who else. Oh, Bloodborne. Then?

[Thatguy-310]

Sony doesn't always make games expecting them to sell millions upon millions. They solely made this game for the fans. And if you look at the past games(ico, shadow of the colossus) they didn't sell millions upon millions at release.

[uptownsoul]

Well then its a good thing that Sony thought about getting the game out to the fans more than they thought about how much money they would or wouldn't make

[Silly gameAr]

@dcbronco

Yet, they keep coming, so what does that tell you?

[Trez1234]

Dcbronco@ uncharted 4 , the last of us, bloodborne, KZ shadow fall, infamous second son, knack, driveclub all sold over 2 millions. Then you have little big planet 3, until dawn, rachet and clank and those did pretty well commercially.

Unlike the start of last gen, games are selling well on playstation.

[IamTylerDurden1]

Gangster

Team Ico games even though they get great reviews don't really sell. In actuality TLG has exceeded sales expectations thus far and was sold out at many stores the week after launch. It already outsold ICO and is selling at a faster rate than SotC. In truth, Sony didn't press enough copies and underestimated demand.

Sony probably will lose money on TLG, but that isn't why they decided to keep it alive and not dump it like MS did with Scalebound. They knew it'd probably be a losing venture with all the issues surrounding it, but the reason Sony decided to finish this game was purely for the fans. It is a niche game btw.

[Muzikguy]

@gangsta

It seems like you and some others like dcbronco are putting way too much into sales figures. This is what makes Sony different from other companies. They don't "need" to sell 7 gazillion copies of a game to consider it a success or warrant a sequel. They know not every game can sell like COD or GTA. They know that that mentality of only looking at sales isn't how you build a diverse game library.

[OB1Biker]

'But i like the new get out of jail free card we now have with the term Niche. '

I usually easily understand what your saying, with your concerns and the like, but you lost me there.
It's about the monopoly game right?

[bluefox755]

You're right, this will most likely be a loss for Sony, financially. But they still delivered. They could have done like Microsoft with Scalebound and just scrapped the project years ago when things got tough, but they didn't. This is why people buy Playstation. They go the extra mile to deliver quality games, no matter the cost.

Also, Niche game? Of course it's a niche game. Everyone one of Team Ico's games are niche. It doesn't stop them from being critically praised, winning awards, and doing unique things that have never been done in gaming before. Sure, the Mt Dew swilling CoD crowd will probably pass on this game, but that doesn't make it any less great.

[Chevalier]

Considering that it almost sold 500,000 opening week I would consider it a success. Just look at Gears 4 week 1 only sold 617,000 in comparison and had far more advertising and AAA budget.

http://n4g.com/news/1980894...

If you look at it that way it did quite well actually. I guess Gears did do quite poorly considering Uncharted did over 2.7 million. But for Last Guardian to come close to Gears of War 4 a big franchise game is quite an achievement.

http://blog.us.playstation....

Last Guardian easily outsold Forza Horizon 3 even.

https://www.google.ca/amp/s...

It also beat Quantum Break with more than double the sales.
http://n4g.com/news/1917774...

So perspective wise it was just behind Gears 4 and outsold Forza Horizon 3 BOTH established franchises and easily outsold other new games like Recore and Quantum Break. So if anything it looks like it did quite well.

[vega275]

I thought these were offical number from sony. Not vgchartz. I highly doubt that lost guardian sold that much at all. Matter fact did it even make the top 10 on NPD? Cause the sales for the uk sucked

[81BX]

I agree its niche. But for how many consoles sony has sold, that is a low number.

[showtimefolks]

gangsta_red

it amazes me that you think this was in active development for 10 years, it amazes me more that you think this game had a huge budget

team ico were always very small developer so if this game sells 2.5-3 million it will be profitable

dcbronco

seriously even halo,gears and forza haven't sold so what's the point?

not every exclusive needs to sell 10 million to make a profit

TomatoDragon

thank you. the last guardian will end up with 3 plus million sales which will be great

when did 484K in one week of sales became bad that means if sales hold up it will sell 1.5-2 million in a month

[Christopher]

I wouldn't be surprised. Almost half of many big game costs are in marketing. Selling 500k is break even for most AAA titles nowadays, 1m for major titles, 2m for your CoD/BF1s. The team working on this was small to begin with and, yeah, they went through a ton of years, but it probably doesn't measure up to the costs of a single AC game.

If they hit 750k sold, I'd bet they made a profit, but I bet those profit margins are cringeworthy.

[_-EDMIX-_]

I don't disagree but that's what makes the release that much more special because this company never really needed to continue the support of this title yet they pulled through for the fans even though they knew they probably weren't going to make a return.

Dedication .

Also yes it is very much a niche game The Shadow of the Colossus and Ico series have always been small sellers

[Outside_ofthe_Box]

* * * "No way they could have recouped that loss with those sales" * * *

How much did you expect the TLG to sell during its launch week in order for the money to be recouped by Sony?

It appears that Horizon: ZD's budget is much more than TLG despite TLG being in development longer than Horizon. Which means that TLG budget is well under than that of a typical AAA game. So you can stop "worrying" about recouped losses. Unless you think Gears, whose budget if (I were to bet) is a lot closer to Horizon's, didn't recoup the loss either given that it sold only 133k more than TLG(a niche title) when comparing launch week to launch week...

Selling 500k more or less during the first week is good for The Last Guardian in my opinion. I guess people were expecting 700-900k for week one? That would mean it would have done better than Gears' first week which wouldn't be a realistic prediction given that MS actually marketed it and that Gears is a huge established franchise compared to niche TLG.

[UCForce]

Nope,It's a niche game. Even the game is not for everyone, but it is successful game for fan and critics. More importantly, I'm proud Sony for sticking their gut and finished their game for 10 years development. For MS, they cancelled Scalebond was a mistake.

[Dark_Knightmare2]

It's def a niche game so the fact it sold almost half a million in its first week is actually pretty decent

[Outside_ofthe_Box]

* * * "I am specifically wondering about sales for a game that took nearly 10 years to make and then making less than 500k on release" * * *

If you are truly wondering this then you no longer need to wonder. TomatoDragon has already provided a link that gives an idea of what the budget of The Last Guardian is, which is less than that of a typical AAA game.

Now that we know the approximation of the budget, 500k for a game on one platform with little to no marketing is a good start. No? If not, what do you estimate it needed to sell week one to recoup losses?

[NewMonday]

Thatguy-3106h ago(Edited 5h ago)
"Sony doesn't always make games expecting them to sell millions upon millions. They solely made this game for the fans"

this!

Sony and everybody knew this wasn't going to be a big hit, even Shadow of the Collossis wasn't a big seller on the dominant PS2.

but Sony know the platform and industry need a few "art house" games, even if doesn't sell much it will add to the prestige of the PS4 and that is the value of the game.

[rainslacker]

That's an estimate of sales, so that's the first grain of salt.

Second would be that that's the first week of sales. So likely, it sold more than that over time.

Dunno if it'll lose money or not. No one knows what the budget was, but it wasn't in the top tier AAA range. Probably 30-50 million, including marketing.

[UltraNova]

Gangsta

What do you call a game with a boy and his huge dog bird, mainstream? Yes its a nich game/genre. A niche game that outsold actual AAA mainstream games in its first week, so I'd call that a success sales wise, plus It doesnt hurt that it was a good game as well.

Lets not forget that these type of games have long legs. It will be selling for years to come. I m fairly confident it will surpass 2 million by years end and will top at 3-5 milion further down the road.

I really hope Team ICO is already working on a new IP, I cant get enough of the worlds they create.

PS: I think this game would be pure magic in 3rd person VR...

[TWB]

Prototype phase -> active development -> 2 yeat hiatus when Puppeteer was being worked on the PS3 (Ueda confirmed that they allocated resources there) -> less active development with a smaller team -> transition and last stretch development on the PS4.

They did use their resources wisely. Its not like they went overboard with the budget.

[C-H-E-F]

I think at the end of the day the game became a project for the fans more-so than a project for financial gains. I think the only way it would've made money is if it sold the way GTAV is selling haha. It's definitely a fan made game with no intentions of capitalizing on consumer finances. I didn't even see 1 commercial for this game leading up to the release.

@gangsta_red
Every game is a niche game unless it's a household titles... like GTAV, COD, BF, those are mainstream games but then you have games like Rainbow Six n Saints Row that are of the same genre but are niche games because they cater to a different core audience as well as they aren't household titles.

[Liqu1d]

"Niche game?"

Yes. I know you only started gaming last generation so onto Google and look up the sales of Ico and SoTC.

[QUIMICOMORTAL]

they and we all knew that wasn't going to recover the money invested! But I think Sony deserves credit for keeping it alive as much as it did for the fans

[SpaceRanger]

A game is niche when it sells close to 500,000 its first week? Ok?

Didn't know Forza was an even more niche game. Pretty "Noice" if you ask me.
http://n4g.com/news/1974704...

[SpaceRanger]

It seems to not be in comparison to its predecessor. What about the game does not cater to a wide audience? This isn't a Souls game (which to some degree has become mainstream for its play style). At that level you're just setting genres.

And by your logic, if Forza was that mainstream,(which it is) wouldn't it have sold more to its "wide audience"? Wouldn't gears have sold more to its "wide audience"?

Edit:
"They'll agree it is niche as they've been saying it for weeks."

I'm not surprised since this news just got released and people can actually compare how big of an audience it had over "mainstream" games.

[Gazondaily]

You do realise that when I and everyone else say a niche game I'm not talking about its sales but it's genre right? It's a puzzle action game and you obviously got defensive thinking I'm talking about sales. So when you say:

"It seems to not be in comparison to its predecessor"

It's obvious that you don't know what everyone here is alluding to when we're talking about a "niche' title.

Do you understand now though? Others here are saying the same thing and it has been labelled as a niche title for ages.

Once again- niche based on the type of game it is. Not sales.

[SpaceRanger]

If we were talking about a genre, we'd say genre. People use "niche" rather than genre because of the definition of the word.

Niche: "Denoting or relating to products, services, or interests that appeal to a SMALL, specialized section of the population."

So by its definition, this game is technically not niche since it's appeal is more than to a small specialized section of the gaming community.

Once again, you're describing the word "genre" yet are using niche. Quantity defines the word niche. So yes, sales go hand in hand with the definition. If it sold more to more people it wouldn't be niche, it would be considered mainstream. Sorry Septic, ~500,000 in launch week is not a small specialized population. No matter how you spin it.

[Gazondaily]

I'm not spinning anything. Scroll down and notice several people saying the same thing. I don't see them having being afflicted by your replies as you struggle to understand what we're all saying.

[SpaceRanger]

"...as you struggle to understand what we're all saying."

Yeah it seems like sensible discussion with you is over. At least I tried.

[Gazondaily]

"Yeah it seems like sensible discussion with you is over. At least I tried."

No you didn't try.

When you're sitting there accusing me of spinning things when all I've done is praise the title in the same manner others are, you haven't tried nearly hard enough.

Why have you not replied to the three other posters on here saying the exact same thing?

"elda3h ago
Not bad for a niche game,I haven't really started my copy yet."

You literally made a beeline straight for me. Then I'm telling you what we all mean by niche title. Then you just start creating your own narrative for what niche means when EVERYONE ELSE here supposedly understands the meaning....and bring in Forza like I'm going to defend it's sales comparatively.

You're not fooling anyone. And if you really want to discuss it sensibly, drop the vindictive tone.

I'm not bad mouthing TLG here. It's done well. And yes, it's done better than Forza in first week sales.

[Trez1234]

Septic @ I agree with you that the last guardian is within a niche genre in gaming. Let's hope it becomes popular as all niche games/things in general can become popular.

[Liqu1d]

I hate to say it but Septic is right, TLG is a niche game just like Ico and SoTC were.

[Sparta07]

Well is a new ip, and it sold as much as forza. So no, not bad at all. Especially for a niche game.
🤓

[Letthewookiewin]

I bought mine digitally :( so I don't count. I wonder how many you can add from digital sales.

[Gazondaily]

Three

[Utalkin2me]

@Septic

Dont you have some game cancellations to look forward too?

[nowitzki2004]

I agree, its a good sales number for the game in the first week. There is a bunch of people like myself who are just waiting for the right sale, or price drop.

[TWB]

It is a decent amount sold, since Ico and SotC had a fanbase of 1 mil, so TLG basically sold half of that in 1 week. Sony even said the preorders were up from their estimates, and they had stated that they expected more from TLG for it to be a success.

It probably will meet their goals with this pace.

[C-H-E-F]

Yeah, i haven't picked it up yet because I bought a sh!t ton of games in october - December including PSVR/PSVITA/PS4 games and i really need to dive into those i'm sure there's others like me that are trying to trim down their library before diving into more games. I'll be picking it up in march more than likely. I literally just beat Beyond 2 Souls and I bought that game at launch... smh haha

[QUIMICOMORTAL]

they and we all knew that wasn't going to recover the money invested! But I think Sony deserves credit for keeping it alive as much as it did for the fans.

[isarai]

It may sound like a flop but i doubt it is, the team working on this "Team ICO" is only about 23 people. This also wasn't in constant development despite what people think, the game has been on hold many times and the team split up for other projects (the art team was used for Knack, and the ico collection, also worked on Puppeteer)

Plus i doubt sony thought it would hit mass appeal, they seemed well aware it was niche when asked about it so many times

[RpgSama]

Actually is a lot more than I thought it could sell, and I'm a big Team ICO fan, not only did it sell amazingly well for a "niche" title, these are just first week RETAIL number, they are not even counting digital.

This is the kind of game that will have long legs as more and more people get to discover it and recommend it, I'm very happy for Team Ico.

[hells_supernova]

I am not saying you are a liar but I need evidence that this was the case.

Great sales for this title. I don't think it will ever make its money back but im glad sony released it

[Summons75]

While there is no way this is going to recoop it's losses, this was a lot better that I was expecting for an already niche developer developing this for a good 8 years. Glad to have this in my collection.

[OB1Biker]

That sounds a good number to me. Is it not? Were people expecting a bloodborne like number?

[ShadowKnight]

SOTC and ICO sold around 1 million in it's lifetime on the PS2 and The ICO & Shadow of the Colossus Collection sold another 1.32 million on the PS3. The Last Guardian is on pace to sell a million copies and it's still a fantastic game that got great reviews. I'm glad the game wasn't cancelled.

http://www.vgchartz.com/gam...

http://www.vgchartz.com/gam...

http://www.vgchartz.com/gam...

http://www.gamesindustry.bi...

[Nyxus]

Yeah and also keep in mind these numbers are only for the first week. The game is still in the UK charts even now (granted, not very high, but it's still selling).

[KickSpinFilter]

Could have long legs?

[dirkdady]

Yea bet u we'll be seeing the ICO collection pt 2 on ps5.

[thegamefox93]

Its gonna definitely sell more than 1 million...It sold almost 500k in the first week
I can see it selling a total 1.5 million copies in the next 3 years...

[CapitalGamerNZ]

I can see it doing those sorts of numbers as well however, this is what's wrong with gaming. Doesn't seem to matter how many consoles Sony or MS shift the attach rate for most games still remains really low. 50 million consoles and only 500k copies sold. That's a lot of PS4 owners that are not buying the game!

[Christopher]

***That's a lot of PS4 owners that are not buying the game!***

It's actually typical that a very small portion of console owners actually buy a specific game. Only a handful of games each year sell anywhere close to 10% of the install base. Usually big third party titles.

[Tussin187]

Yes, I'm just glad Sony had the balls not to cancel the game because they knew it had a special place in gamers hearts. The one's that wanted it at least. That's why I continue to support Sony because of decisions like this.

[Omeganex9999]

That's what makes Playstation the leader. No fucking way they would have cancelled Scalebound. But PS is in a much better position than MS currently.

[UCForce]

You should thank to Sony that they weren't give up this game.

[Elda]

Not bad for a niche game,I haven't really started my copy yet.

[Goldby]

trico is sooo lifelike. im amazed how i look at him and see an animal, not a series of animations and such

[bluefox755]

You're in for a treat, it's a little slow moving at first, but stick with it until the end, you'll be glad you did. I'm not someone who typically "feels things" in video games, lol, but this game struck a chord.

[Elda]

It seems like it's a very touching/emotional game between boy & animal/creature.

[Z501]

Who thought a puzzle game (a Japanese puzzle game) was going to sell millions?
For example:
Catherine - 2011 - PS3 - first week 140,000 XBox 360 - 21,000

[KickSpinFilter]

Game is awesome, but you need patience when you play this game. Trico is like dealing with a puppy at first, but then trust begins to be established. Camera is touchy, and needs a soft touch on stick then it's no big deal. Def going to play through it again once I get through my backlog of games.

[sk8ofmnd]

Isnt this still selling better that sotc and its older brother?

[MRMagoo123]

it sold better than a heap of big name games like forza and quantum break in its first week and just under the much hyped gears 4

[ToastyMcNibbles]

Wheres Colin Moriarty at? Massive Last Guardian hater who swore it absolutley bombed. This is a great amount for just the first week.

[corroios]

Really good for a game like The Last Guardian. I thougth it would be much less. Its good that game like this is another hit for Sony.

We want more new ip and hope Sony keep trying new stuff and gamers buy it. Even if this game isnt a FPS, TPS or a racer.

[343_Guilty_Spark]

So glad I gave this game a chance. It was a masterpiece.

[SpaceRanger]

In all honesty, a part of me was always excited for this game because Trico looks so much like my dog! Wish I could post a picture up.

[MRMagoo123]

why can't you ? you just upload your image to an image sharing site and link it like people do all the time

[SpaceRanger]

I would just rather not go through all of that just for the purpose of comments on this site. Just personal preference.

[MRMagoo123]

meh it's up to you but some people would have enjoyed seeing the comparison /shrug

[2pacalypsenow]

Almost 1/2 a million on it's first week, not bad

[MRMagoo123]

it's actually very good really when you take into account gears 4 sold only 600k or a bit over

[Moonman]

I'm totally buying it.

[81BX]

Gonna give it a shot once it drops in price.

[IamTylerDurden1]

That's excellent, i expect it to outsell SotC and sell well over a million units. It's on pace to become the most successful Team Ico game to date. All this with supply shortages after launch.

[ILostMyMind]

Good work, Sony. Keep bringing us new titles. I will still buy my copy but not now. I only have eyes for Horizon.

[Phill-Spencer]

484k is not bad at all for such a niche game. Gears of war 4 for example sold 617k at retail within 1 week in a genre that is potientially much more attractive to the mainstream.

[ninsigma]

Absolutely not surprised. This was a game for the fans of the studio. It's a shame more people don't buy into this type of game because they are beautiful. Oh well, as long as enough people buy them to warrant them being made I'll be happy.

[thegamefox93]

almost 500k in a week. It's gonna be the best selling team ico game released...

[jznrpg]

Pretty good for an Ico game actually, it was never going to sell Billions of dollars worth

[stonecold3]

It's vg charts not a reliable source we know they under track PS4 estimate this source is redundant I love the last guardian best games 2016 with uncharted 4

[bluefox755]

Good amount, better than I expected actually. Ico games are very niche, despite the critical acclaim they receive. Congrats Team Ico.

[maybelovehate]

How does No Man's Sky sell better than the Last Guardian? Customers are strange.

[MRMagoo123]

because people thought no man's was minecraft in space that's why. The last guardian is set to be the biggest seller the team have ever produced I think they will manage.

[Liqu1d]

Never underestimate the power of marketing.

[Sunny_D]

Being shown on a late night talk show surely didn't hurt NMS, that's for sure.

[Goldby]

available on ps4 and pc help too

[DashArrivals]

That's pretty good numbers I reckon. Good stuff

[cfc83]

Not bad as alot of peple buy digital. Plus it costs full AAA price. I think it will sell 2m eventually.

[Razzer]

I didn't expect sales that high, frankly. Nice

Edit. Oh wait. This is vgchartz. Well....hope their guess is close.

[DialgaMarine]

That's not bad at all, all things considered.

[Sherif129]

People should really play this game. I've never played ICO or Shadow of the Colossus, but I really enjoyed The Last Guardian. A nice unique change to the games I usually play.

[Goldby]

go backa nd play the other ones liek right now. stop what you are doing and go play them.

We need mroe Ico-like companies making classic jpanese style games liek this, where the only handholding that is done is when you are holdding on for your life 50 feet above the ground.

[GamerGT]

So times $60.00 per game and not Bundled they made 29 million dollars first week.

[plmkoh]

Generated about $29 mil in market revenue, but that's shared among all partners, publishers, distributors and retailers.

Still a game like this would really cost $10 mil at most because it took so long. I think peoples perception of game budgets have been skewed by AAA titles because they include all that bloated Superbowl type marketing, a Japanese game like this doesn't do that.

[Christopher]

Closer to about $6 million.

[Sunny_D]

Wow, maybe my perception of game development has definitely been skewed for the past few years. 6 million is a lot but I'm having a hard time believing that any game can be made with that budget.

For some reason, I always assumed that games nowadays need a MINIMUM of atleast $50 million dollars or more. I guess that's good news for TLG.

[Christopher]

Your blockbuster AAA games with teams of almost 200 people can cost that. But majority of AAA games will cost between $5m and $10m.

[ClayRules2012]

That's honestly not bad. I don't think Sony expected to sell 1 million in its first week. I honestly believe they kept the game alive for the PS fans who love & appreciate Ueda's games, but also because Sony still had faith in the overall vision of the game/the story between Trico & the boy. I genuinely respect & love Sony more for not giving up on it, and just cancelling it.

Trico wasn't just some "AI" companion, who was lifeless, with zero personality. He was a Living/Breathing "Animal & Friend" I genuinely loved the gameplay dynamic & relationship between him & the boy. It was an adventure & gaming experience I'll never forget, and will always be grateful for.

[3-4-5]

Those numbers are good for any kind of Niche game. I didn't buy it but it seems to be another solid game in the PS4 gaming library.

[Movefasta1993]

I reckon there was a time,during the ps3,when this game haf insane amounts of hype behind it,it would have sold a million or more on launch.But still,solid numbers.

[P_Bomb]

This series, this team has never sold more than just over a million of any title. Even with double/triple the install base. Half a million week one (not year one or month one) looks to be their best debut so far.

Context is everything, so I had the opposite reaction to the naysayers. The only ding is I thought it'd do better in Japan. It's still on pace for a million though, which is good news for them.

[UCForce]

It's good to see this niche game doing pretty well. Congrats, Mr. Ueda !

[glennhkboy]

All the Japanese AAA titles take almost 6-10 years to be developed. I wander how do they recap their development cost.

[game4funz]

And who exactly expected this to sell more?

[PizzaSteve]

It should have been came out years ago. Some lost interest in it like me. It's a PS3 game ported to PS4 for $60. I would pay no more than $30 for it.

[mahmoods26]

A little low but I think it'll do well over time. Once the price comes down a bit gamers scared off by the reviews might give it more of a chance.

[Orionsangel]

A lot of us haven't even played it yet. I'm waiting for it to cost 20 bucks.

[IxWoodstockxI]

I hope this game goes on sale I want to play it but not for $60.

[Silly gameAr]

Wait for it to go on sale. Pretty simple.

[pyroxxx]

I got it digitally. Still don't know what to think of it,.. goes from pure joy to kinda frustration (sometimes checkpoints are a tad too far, and I tend to jump like shit, but usually they are pretty good),.. but my striker is an awesome puppy,.. animations are out of this world.

PS: just finished it,.. Yes this was great,.. teared up just a bit,.. Only regret I have is that I did not finish it in one sitting, because I forgot how it controls a bit,.. but yes this game is great,.. It is a kind of thing they don't make every day

[slappy508]

I bought my copy after the launch week because of Final Fantasy (so thats 484,001 at least :p). Sure the sales will continue to rise

[Realplaya]

I think when people ask game companies to make these type of games they should get a payment up front. The money should be non refundable because I swear a lot of people wanted this game.

[Officialxandr]

Thought the game was AMAZING! My only gripes were Trico not responding (although intentional, it got irritating here and there) and the controls being a little wonky.

[sampson3121]

Dead Rising only sold 200k in it's first week, and it's an already established ip. i think TLG also sold better than a lot of other games that were thought to sell well but didn't.

will buy it once i finish a few other games i am playing.

[Goldby]

TLG is global sales, DR4 is Uk slaes

[sampson3121]

didn't know that thanks.

[sampson3121]
