I'm gonna guess this is a completely different game that you don't want to name?

EDIT: Yea it seems like Angry Birds.

Didn't even know it was coming out for the 3DS and Vita.

 

[metalslimer]

Angry Birds

Deserved failure

 

[slit]

What Star Wars game is this?

A star wars game came out for 3ds and vita last month?

Well this should tell you all you need to know about why it sunk.

Angry Birds: Star Wars, I guess. Good to see it crash and burn, full price for a 0.99 iOS game should never happen.

angry birds star wars I guess?

[Manmademan]

Wedbush reports are probably much more cheap than NPD and provide a good amount of data.

Wedbush, eh? Nice try, Mr. Pachter.

 

[Metallix87]

Angry Birds?

Oh, then I'm absolutely thrilled to see it bomb so hard.

 

[catmincer]

From wiki

" On July 18, 2013, Rovio announced that Angry Birds Star Wars will be heading for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Xbox 360, Wii, Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS on October 29, 2013 in conjunction with Activision"

Must be that.

 

[Pie and Beans]

People didn't spring for $40 Angry Birds huh.

Game industry doomed.

 

[John Harker]

Angry Birds: Star Wars, I guess. Good to see it crash and burn, full price for a 0.99 iOS game should never happen.

good to see? the original is the #1 best selling third party on 3DS, it's like over 500k.

so much for third parties on 3DS!

 

[donny2112]

What Star Wars game is this?

Angry Birds.

 

[KillerTravis]

I didn't even wanted to know how bad they were milking the Star Wars franchise. An Angry Birds game?

Tell me Wii U was lower than PSV, please.

Next gen tax!

 

[LOCK]

Xbox 360 YTD October 2013 = 1.8mm
3DS YTD October 2013 = 2.0mm

Nintendo expects to do 5m in NA this year. So they expect a huge Nov and Dec.

They totally fucking deserved the sales numbers, 40$ for a game that's fucking free on smartphones. Fuck outta here.

 

[Immaculate]

WHAT !?

What Star Wars game is this?

A star wars game came out for 3ds and vita last month?

Huge success.

angry birds star wars i think

 

[allan-bh]

Wedbush, eh? Nice try, Mr. Pachter.

haha.. no

But I've seen the report and is nice for know some NPD data.

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

I wonder how bad Batman Blackgate bombed.

 

[catmincer]

I didn't even wanted to know how bad they were milking the Star Wars franchise. An Angry Birds game?

There's two actually.

 

[metalslimer]

As if that success actually helped the 3DS in the west with 3rd parties.

Ooooch...

Wasn't the last Angry Birds game the best selling 3rd party 3DS game in the west or something? Sold like 400-500k didn't it?

Some drop off there.

 

[frankie_baby]

Third parties here in the West didn't give a shit, and they likely never will.

 

[metalslimer]

please for the love of humanity don't speak too soon, theres still xmas coming up

Don't worry pretty sure that game only did well due to the lack of other games at the time. With stuff like Pokemon and AC out no one is buying AB for 40 bucks

 

[DaBoss]

To be fair, didn't that have more content? It was 3 games right? And wasn't the MSRP $19.99 or $29.99?

 

[StreetsAhead]

Ooooch...

Wasn't the last Angry Birds game the best selling 3rd party 3DS game in the west or something? Sold like 400-500k didn't it?

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.

I can only assume Angry Birds was not a front-loaded game.

But seriously who would buy another Angry Birds collection if they already have one.

 

[gamergirly]

creamsugar, any thoughts on the Zelda Wind Waker HD sales for Wii U?

 

[jetjevons]

How did Beyond; two souls end up selling in NA?

 

[chadboban]

Oh I see, it was angry birds. Should teach them to stop repackaging IOS games and selling them full price

 

[CoffeeGames]

Wondering what the Wii U numbers are, doubt they are good though.

I'm wondering the same thing. Price drop the month before, with a new bundle...and not a peep about its sales yet?

Considering NOA advertised the 2DS more than the new Wii U bundle/price drop in October though (actual TV ad for the 2DS, versus just internet ad for the Wii U bundle), I want to know how well the Wii U sold with little/no efforts from NOA. They have done nothing to help promote the system for basically its entire first year, and I want to see if their continued lazy approach is working for them.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

So about 80million units? Nothing wrong with that.

that's as much of a failure as psp.

 

[KillerTravis]

Who in their right mind would buy a Angry Birds game for their kids when they can get a new Pokemon game for the same price? If that's the effort third parties are expecting will sell on handhelds they can fuck into space.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Angry Birds: Star Wars, I guess. Good to see it crash and burn, full price for a 0.99 iOS game should never happen.

So they sold $4000 copies at 4000x of a price. If they sold it for 0.99, they wouldn't make that money in their lifetime.

 

[creamsugar]

Super Hedgehog Galaxy < 30k (2 platforms)

 

[Dr. Feel Good]

Super Hedgehog Galaxy < 30k (2 platforms)

That's rough.

 

[Yawnier]

Super Hedgehog Galaxy < 30k (2 platforms)

Yikes

 

[metalslimer]

So they sold $4000 copies at 4000x of a price. If they sold it for 0.99, they wouldn't make that money in their lifetime.

Er....how in the world is 99cents 1/4000th of 40 bucks

Super Hedgehog Galaxy < 30k (2 platforms)

Holy fucking shit. What a colossal failure.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Super Hedgehog Galaxy < 30k (2 platforms)

DAMN!

Sonic is a failure everywhere

 

[John Harker]

please for the love of humanity don't speak too soon, theres still xmas coming up

oh i was kidding. there hasn't been third party games in ages!
I don't blame them. no one buys 3DS software that isn't a nintendo mascot.

 

[DaBoss]

Super Hedgehog Galaxy < 30k (2 platforms)

Wow. That's bad.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Super Hedgehog Galaxy < 30k (2 platforms)

That deal was not worth it. No sir.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

Super Hedgehog Galaxy < 30k (2 platforms)

Damn, that's 3DS and Wii U combined? Must have sold like 10k on Wii U then... that's about as big of a bomb as w101. (or even worse?)

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

Super Hedgehog Galaxy < 30k (2 platforms)

GOD DAMN

 

[frankie_baby]

Angry Birds: Star Wars, I guess. Good to see it crash and burn, full price for a FREE ANDROID game should never happen.

even worse

 

[Santiako]

Super Hedgehog Galaxy < 30k (2 platforms)

Fucking hell, that's low.

 

[Hugh Buelow]

Super Hedgehog Galaxy < 30k (2 platforms)

Ugh. Not great. On the other hand, it released on Oct 29.

What's the period the data is covering?

 

[allan-bh]

Super Hedgehog Galaxy < 30k (2 platforms)

Not good. But will have legs.

 

[Metallix87]

Super Hedgehog Galaxy < 30k (2 platforms)

Better luck next time, Sega. Maybe a good game?
