Altered Beast...LOL! I think it's official: Everyone is sick of Sega's crap.

Some decent sales, though nothing spectacular. Radiata Stories did better than I thought it would. Never heard of the #2 seller. Would have liked to see DDS2 do a bit better, but I guess that's not bad for a cheap sequel. Only on the GCN could a massively hyped RE title debue at #3.

Yea I'm sick of Sega's mediocre titles espically what they have done to the Shinobi series... it's just horrid

Escaflowne2001 · 01-29-2005, 08:38 PM

What did Altered Beast score in Famitsu?

Decado · 01-29-2005, 09:24 PM

Not terribly. 29/40, I think.

Still, apparently there are plenty of things to pick on in the game.

Dr. Bombay · 01-29-2005, 09:46 PM

What's sad is that the game was in development for like, 2 years, and it still came out horribly.

In non-related news, there has yet to be a PSP game that's sold better than a DS game thus far. Not that I expected Soukyuu No Fafner to do that well in the first place.

Third best anime in japan my ass.

I guess the announcement of a PS2 port did hurt RE4 sales for the GC...

Rubeus · 01-29-2005, 10:24 PM

It's surprising that Another Century's Episode beats Biohazard 4, RE4 supposed to be the killer app and ACE is not even in the Japanese most wanted chart at any time.

BlueNocturne · 01-30-2005, 02:49 AM

I don't think people are sick of all of Sega's "mediocre" crap. They just don't know how to market their games anymore. Especially in NA.

Nephlabobo · 01-30-2005, 02:51 AM

I was hoping Digital Devil Saga would do better than 39,000

DBJAY · 01-30-2005, 03:35 AM

It's just one day worth of sales right? I imagine the hottest titles would get the people who rush in on day one to buy them, while the lesser buzz titles will have people coming in later on.

Nephlabobo · 01-30-2005, 04:03 AM

Yeah I guess it's not bad....still seems a bit low though.

I thought the last one sold alot better than that in Japan.
