Whatever floats your boat on the "denial" river

What I speak is the facts, its not an opinion. Its not a preference, DragonKnight. As I've said before the game sold less than they expected, but even after revising figures, the franchise still managed to sell 1.1 million in one region while coming up to about a half a million units in the west.

DMC4 came out 5 years ago. And only sold 2 million. Not even bayonnetta sold that much and that came out 6 months later than DMC4.

MG rising according to everyone here is a better game than DmC and it released a month after it. How much did that sell?

How much has God of War Ascension Sell, coming off the high of GOW3 3 years later in the same month?

If its not about the market and the general interest for the game then where are these hack and slash fans that came out in droves during the ps2 era that's buying these stellar games to appease them?

MG Rising still hasn't sold a million according to Konami and Platinum, Ninja Gaiden hasn't, we got 350k for the first month sales of Mega franchise God of War Ascension from NPD and all you have to tell me regarding The sales performance is vocal minority angry internet fans of DMC caused Capcom and NT to sell an estimated 1.6 million units of DmC across 3 regions...?

Maybe that same fan base also caused GOW:Ascension, And metal Gear Rising to sell less and not the general shrinking market for anything else that's not 3rd person or first person shooters /s.

Call DmC a bad game, and shout at the top of your lungs because the minority on the internet or the vocal majority on here will agree with your opinion, your view may have had a bigger say if both other establish hack and slash games performed way better all within the same month. metal Gear and GOW are big name brands and yet they performed poorly this year in the hack and slash market.

Please have a fucking seat, if DMC4 released this year instead of DmC it would have sold the same amount, keep kidding yourself, walk around on the net of N4G thinking its because of character redesign and a change in direction that caused a game to go from selling 4 million 8 years ago on PS2 to selling 1.6 today.

How moronic.

Yep denial allright . You can beat you chest while calling other morons all you want . All of those recent release you mentione are already performing better than DmC in less times .

And actually MGR did break 1 millions , so did GOW Ascension so far . Ascension is obviously selling lower than most would expct , but it is likely to still perfomr well and way beyond whatever is expected of DMC .

PG , Konami and Kojima were actually very happy with sales the first week end of release of the game . A far cry from capcom constantly playing revised numbers and pr damage control .

You're the one shouting from your lungs here . The game bombed hard . Some others didnt , and some other did , doesnt absolve it from bombing had .

And no i didnt expect DmC4 numbers , we kept telling the game the way it was received looked and played wouldnt and it didnt . But let's not pretend capcom and fan of the game expected it to be that low .

We called eons ago , your lame excuses and spin twisting as soon as the news of the flop would reach , and you guys arent dissapointing .

It's a fact , the game went from being the second selling hack and slash franchise , to dead last (or to be fair only in front of Ninja gaiden 3) . Shrinking sales or not , it should have retained its spot in the fold and didnt in the least .

Dont expect me to come back as usual , it will just turn into further name calling and wont make us agree in the least . See ya

Terrible games don't have an average of 86%, DMC is actually a fun game if people give it a chance.

Resistance 3 is actually a good game too but sales were very low so I wouldn't think that game was terrible either. Sales don't always depict how good a game is. Many people on here will say GT is better than Forza, reviews suggest it isn't, sales do. So there is no guideline to what's the best game. Otherwise Call of Duty is the best game.

There are many reasons for why a game doesn't sell well. Timing, fanbase, marketing, bored of the ip, consumer trust and so on.
