Well good it deserves to flop in sales. you don't sale a game that lasts a measly six hours for 60 bucks and expect people to buy it in the trucksloads.

Heavenly Sword was not very fun compared to God of War, Devil May Cray, or even Ninja Gaiden.

1. You use vgchartz

2. Heavenly Sword was released on the 12th, and this ends on the 15th. That is only three days.

Good job.

Only a lemming would say a first party developer for sony will make a game for xbox 360 and use heavenly sword to claim mgs4 is coming to the xbox 360...

funny thing is this was advertised twice on fox during the NFL cowboys vs. dolphins, so that must have cost a lot and they had advertising in the movie theater also. Kinda pathetic after all that thats all it can sell.

It probably flopped because of underhype and the fact that the main character is a girl.

i hold the person who said this responsible. if halo 3 doesnt sell 19200000 copies in 12 hours, its a flop.

80k Isnt to bad for only 1 week for a user base of 4 million. If sales stay steady it could be around 600k sold which isnt to bad depending on how much it cost to developit it.

And ill quote it again and then add it didnt actually come out until 13 in nearly all places because of a stuff up, so thats 80thousand is only 2 days of sales, and 80thousand in 2 days is great.
