Some games sell amazing, that are crap like halo 3 (this is a joke)). While other gmaes, you wish would sell more. It is pretty much boudn to happen that these games will sell terribly, even though they are hyped and score well. NG2 is bound to sell mediocrely, like Ninja gaiden Sigma, and Ninja Gaiden black. LBP, even though is going to have one of the highest if not highest average critic score, will bomb for being too kiddy. Games like Turok, and other generic fps are bound to outsell all these games, which is sad. So here is my list

Patapon


Hardly a game you ever hear hyped, yet it beats DMC4 for GOTM at egm, and still no one talks about it.


De Blob- regardless of quality (I already played the online version, and it is great) this game will have mediocre sales.


LBP-This game is not going to sell well for having an unique art**** even though this game is bound to be awesome


Ninja Gaiden 2-Great Graphics, okay gameplay, but won't sell well because it doesn't have guns

If it would have meant Clover Studios not being closed down, then I wish Okami would have sold more.

Otherwise, I don't follow sales too much aside from seeing what is posted here on SW.

Anyway i have a few

1- Ninja Gaiden the series is very good, its a shame its difficulty costs the game sales.
2- FIre Emblem - another great series, and radiant of dawn went way underrated here on gamespot. THe game is really good.
3- Metroid- I blame nintendo for the lack of hype and marketing on this one
4- Viva Pinata- one of the most refreshing experiences on the 360 and hardly anyone ever mentions it
5- Silicon Knights games- Eternal Darkness should have sould 1 million. Too HUman is going to be very good and it wont sell well either. COme on gamers show some love.

It is going to sell around 4 to 5 million. What else does a game that calibur need, to have halo sales?

I heard that Uncharted didn't sell too well, at least not in the first few days which is a shame because it's honestly a great game.

It's buyable now as a XBL original dl.

As far as the topic goes I wish Okami, Ico and SotC would have done better at retail.

I try not to dwell on this topic too much since it's so depressing to watch fiddy cent bulletproof sell 2 million copies while our favorites fail at retail.

That was the problem. It sold cuz of that, and stopped selling post-beta.

I mean it needed more sales for a constant stream.

So you only buy 3rd party games?

Every time the wii line-up is brought up you make it seem sub-par, some how.

Go on Virtual Console and download Contra III, Gunstar Heroes, Super Castlevania IV, Sin & Punishment, Ninja Gaiden, and Shinobi III. That'll keep you busy until the summer with real hardcore games. Not the watered down stuff people play nowadays.

You will take party games and minigames from 3rd parties and you will love it.

Um so, do you know my financial situation?

I dont game all the time and unlike some of you I go out with friends and im waiting for my birthday to get all my games, my parents are real greedy and rarely buy me games or give me money.

Galaxy and Paper Mario are both whimsical nonsense. They have next to no engaging story. Metroid, while it has a semi interesting story, is hardly on par with the other platform games, not to mention the linearity. The newest Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn (WII), has a very lackluster story. Its practically a retelling of World War 2.

Yeah, I'm sure :roll:, whenever the Virtual Console is mentioned, everyone apparently has extensive gaming collections that span decades. Well, I'm a hardcore gamer and I do not know one person who even owns half of the games I mentioned. Also, Sin & Punishment never came out in the US, so I doubt you own that one.
