NPD Sales Results for April 2009
- Thread starter EviLore
- Start date
i guess there are some trends we will never understand.
how is it possible that kz2 has done so ppoorly? i look at the buzz kz2 has gotten over the internet and i think there must have been way more than 1.5 million people who were super excited about the game....no? with the amount of buzz kz2 has recieved, i would think it's a 3-4 million seller game, or at least on par with uncharted?

Karma said::lol This. All things considered, the 360 is doing pretty good for a $500 game machine during one of the worst recessions in history.
Nice parody.:lol
Seriously,the recession didn't tell Sony to throw in a fucking BR media device now did it. This is their own doing.

Nintendo should reeeeeally stop stealth announcing games two months before they release. most video games sell on hype, not because they're sitting on the shelf.*
*that's just games with Mario or Wii in their titles.

Well, if games being on sale or discounted affects the Top N lists, it is pretty clear the recession has hit gaming. :-/Balb said:

I called Madworld's low sales since it's reveal. Honestly this game would have fared no better being on the 360 or PS3. It's a comic book style black and white, a beat-em-up, too violent, and a new IP. Add SEGA's failure to promote the game correctly and that's some bad mix right there.
No matter how you spin it niche is niche. It's like trying to push Blazeblue, Broken Sword, or Valkyria Chronicles to the masses. Unless you have 1st rate Nintendo level marketing the game will have zero chance.
I mean yes at times promoting the niche and quirky can be a home run, just look at Guitar Hero or for a more recent example De Blob. However it shouldn't be shocking if a game in this category performs low numbers because they usually do, hence why so few publishers will take the risks of taking them in.
Don't get me wrong I'm not saying that the Wii is the "M" rated and adult male gaming audience's haven, but to think that Madworld would be a "test game" for the Wii of this demographic is pretty ridiculous.

What a crazy drop in hardware sales.

These NPDs include the week it sold for half-price. I'd imagine it wouldn't have even made the list were it not for that.Tron 2.0 said:

Nintendo really needs to stop this whole "announce a game 4 months or LESS before release" bullshit.
It's bad for the game, bad for the console, and bad for the consumer as well.
a Master Ninja said:
Are you referring to that Best Buy sale? Because sales don't make (or hardly) makes any differences to how a game sells. (that's an odd sentence)

What do these old, forgotten games have in common? They went on sale during the month of April.
Flying_Phoenix said:
Nope. It's pretty much 100% dead.
My guess is that the price will drop to $30 or something, and sales will spike a bit. It might do NMH numbers, but considering its massive drop, I doubt it.
CTW is an example of the opposite. Its sales have been holding steady, so it'll probably do well over time.

I'm just happy to see it in a "Top X" sales list.
