[QUOTE="Dreams-Visions"] [QUOTE="PSP107"]Rachtet/Clank didnt sell 100,000 copies, is that a Flop?PSP107
100,000 copies would be, in fact, pathetic if that were true. Yes.Remember, it takes around 500,000 copies sold to break even. Maybe a little less now...but remember, developers aren't people who work for free...and this industry is a business. When developers don't make money on a title that they spend a lot of money on, it hurts them.
so yes, anything less than something close to a million sold would probably a big loss and huge disappointment for them.

Nothing to be happy about there. :(
Those are very low sales figures for premiere games on a system devoid of such quality in general. On a healthy system, I'd suggest those games should sell much closer to a million in a couple months time. We'll see where Ratchet is at the end of January.
