50 Cent's latest game has sold only 56k

PS3Hype writes: 'With 50 Cent becoming less popular in the music industry, his games also become unpopular. The first 50 Cent game has sold a nice 1.1 millon games, but his latest game (Blood on the Sand) has only sold 56.000 copies (in 2 months). That's not really impressive, and we think that 50 Cent games become to the history from now.'

Now that.....is what I call a flop.

heosphuros5474d ago

he shouldnt of bothered with either of the games. they both suck!

Sharingan_no_Kakashi5474d ago

Even in japan this would be considered a flop.

don_wroc_love5474d ago

i my opinion, the second game was quite cool and gave me a lot of fun :)
i think that poor sale was a result of poor quality of first game in series...

STK0265474d ago

have you even played blood on the sand to say that it sucks? while it lacked multiplayer, the game was fun. It wasn't a masterpiece, but it didn't suck. The graphics were okay, sound was annoying for me since I'm not a 50cent fan and all you hear is either him or his songs, gameplay was actually very good and the story, well, while being on the sucky side wasn't as bad as some other stories I've seen in games lately.

as for bulletproof, I won't argue about the fact it sucked.

Blaze9295474d ago (Edited 5474d ago )

Was not a terrible game. You guys are just too ignorant to give it a try becuase it features a rapper.

And if you guys actually look at the article it isn't 56K, its about 156k.

56k on the PS3
100k on the Xbox 360

Noted, "according to VGChartz" so who knows how much more the actual numbers are. A good game ignored becuase people know nothing, shame.

TenSteps5474d ago

Yeah Blood on the Sand didn't suck but thats why it's so fun it's ironic the bad game sold while the good game didn't

Lifendz5474d ago

Games like this are joke games. You can't sell these games for full retail price against the mega games available now. Last year was a different story. The landscape and available games were not nearly as robust as it is today. This game screams for a 29.99 or 39.99 price point. At that price, it becomes an impulse purchase. For more than that it's just not feasible as evidenced by the sales.

aksmashh5474d ago

For A Game This Sh*t Sold That Much Its A Achievement

Why Didn't They Ever Make A Micheal Jackson Game?
It Would Of Crazy With All His Moves

OGharryjoysticks5473d ago

The Blood on the Sand game was good. You obviously didn't play it, you're not a fan of arcade shooters, or just a hater.

On next gen systems it's better than a lot of shooters

kparks5473d ago

me i really liked the game and coop is fun and challenging i played through it several times and really liked it and it was pretty funny in its own way.. its a really good game not a big 50 cent fan but you got to respect what he is doing he makes music does vitamin water makes games and several other things he is a business man trying to make money and his music and games may not be something you like but there are loads of people out there who do and to say that his second game sucks shows that your just hating or never played it!! but his first game SUCKED A$$

pixelsword5473d ago

Like vgchartz, but other than them?

theusedfake5473d ago

"Why Didn't They Ever Make A Micheal Jackson Game?"

Sega did in 1990 lol. it's called Michael Jackson's Moonwalker.

7thNightvolley5473d ago (Edited 5473d ago )

came out on 2 CONSOLES and still didnt make it pass 56k.. lool wow.. now that is a challenge, There u go ppl 50 cent Blood in the sands" has set a new bar

ajeben8095473d ago

thats about all it deserves

50CALheadshot5473d ago

just like his album sales.

he made a bet that if kanye sold ore records than 50 , 50 would quit making music.

lol, 50 is still singin on the radiuo

theEnemy5473d ago

selling them for 50 cents a pop.

f7897905473d ago

The sales will shoot up. People buy bad games to entertain themselves. I'd buy Big Rigs for $5 for a good laugh.

bmatthews5474d ago

56,000 people were dumb enough to buy it?

that's a shocking figure in it's own right, but in all seriousness that is a major flop.

DelbertGrady5474d ago

The game is probably better than his music though. His rapping skills are as good as P Diddys or Kanyes lol!

Rockstar5474d ago

This isn't my type of game, not even close.

But wasn't it X-Play that said this game is actually really good?
Likely others but I remember X-Play specifically.

Why is everyone saying this game sucks when I'm pretty sure about 98 percent of you (judging by the numbers) haven't played it?

Just because Fiddy is in it (and yes, for the record I think he sucks) doesn't mean the game necessarily sucks does it?

I agree with the opinion that the price killed this title, price and higher profile titles to be exact.

Again, I haven't played it so I don't know if it sucks or not.
But I'm guessing that's not the reason.

Blaze9295474d ago

thats exactly the reason. the majority if not all the people who are saying the game sucks havent even PLAYED it just becuase 50 cent is in it.

Play the game first then judge, but that will obviously never happen with this.

SprSynJn5473d ago

I think the point that is trying to be made here is that the name "50 cent" shouldn't even had gotten famous, much less a game being made using that name. Well, that point should be made anyway. :p

Consoldtobots5473d ago

IMO rap is played out, 50 is actually the one thats still somewhat listenable.

Kanye, Little Wayne and every rapper from the south is EVERYTHING that is killing it as a form of music.

Rap has gone gay. Its all ROCK for me now.

Sarcasm5473d ago

"Kanye, Little Wayne and every rapper from the south is EVERYTHING that is killing it as a form of music.

Rap has gone gay. Its all ROCK for me now."

Agreed, 50 cent is hardly considered horrible when all you hear is Kanye's stupid songs.

f7897905473d ago (Edited 5473d ago )

They could actually be a lot higher. Not hard to beat 56,000 sales.

News4fanboys5474d ago

^^ yeah!
acually thats success in my eyes since i was begging for this game to flop.
so HUGE success for me :)

i am going to enjoy watching him deteriorate.

VasiliasNtaHs5474d ago

I so agree with you! I wouldn't buy anything with this guy name on, not even for a 50 cent.

omni_atlas5473d ago

Didn't Edge give this a better score then Killzone 2?

LONEWOLF2315474d ago

Wow, so people actually bought this trash?
Must be a bunch of hardcore 50 pennies followers OR for all you know 50 pennies himself bought 50k just to save face.

LinuxGuru5474d ago (Edited 5474d ago )

lol @ 50 pennies

or

50 Pence

Mikelarry5474d ago

mean to sound like a hater but GOOD. this dude is trash

II Necroplasm II5474d ago

Yeah I have to agree with you lol. I might even pop out a 40 to celebrate.

Consoldtobots5473d ago

all rap is trash, not just him.

10 Licensed Games That Suprised Everyone by Not Sucking

Most licensed games tend to be below average, but every now and then, developers produce a game based on an existing license that is actually good.

Sciurus_vulgaris1740d ago

EA back in the early PS2/Xbox/GC-era actually put out some pretty good licensed games, notably 007 Nightfire , 007 Everything or Nothing and some of their Lord of The Rings games.

TheFirstClassic1739d ago

The world is not enough had a really good game made by eurocom on n64, it was overshadowed by goldeneye and perfect dark unfortunately, I think it has aged better in certain ways, and it had a better framerate. I miss the old days of solid bond games.

0hMyGandhi1739d ago

There were a bunch of fun Bond games, but Goldeneye and World's Not Enough (running on the ski lines in multiplayer was too much fun back in day)

Nightfire was also really great, as well.

PowerOfTheCloud1739d ago

Yup first game that came to my mind. Was better than the movie imho

0hMyGandhi1739d ago

Escape from Butcher Bay remains one of the best games I've ever played.

Leeroyw1739d ago

They managed to make a prison feel real and dangerous. Brilliant

psuedo1739d ago

I enjoyed "The Great Escape" game on the PS2. Also "The Thing" on PS2 wasnt to bad. Unfortunately it was to hard at the time when I was younger.

Literal_Cringe1739d ago

6th gen in general was a really good gen for licensed games, so many surprising gems from that time

0hMyGandhi1739d ago

Peter Jackson's King Kong.
Avatar: The game
X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

And love it or hate it, Enter The Matrix really scratched the itch for Matrix games as well.

Venoxn4g1738d ago

I prefered matrix: path of neo much more

Top 10 Sequels Nobody Asked For

COGconnected: Some sequels come as a result of the artists behind it truly believing an IP deserves a second chance, could be improved with just a few small tweaks, or is indeed good enough to warrant a sequel. These ones do not.

MrSec842022d ago

Loads of people asked for a sequel to Knack, including myself.

The first game was good fun, clearly rushed for launch, but a good launch title for PS4.

rainslacker2022d ago

Yeah, I know a lot of people who liked the game, and said they wouldn't mind a sequel which improved on the original.

SuperSonic912022d ago

Knack 2 is so much fun for couch co-op.

sprinterboy2022d ago

Great for co/op keeping the kids entertained

Platformgamer2022d ago

you stole the words from my mouth.
knack is so underrated

NotanotherReboot2022d ago

So how come "loads of people" didn't buy the game?

Teflon022022d ago

Half a milli is pretty fine for that game actually

rainslacker2021d ago

Loads of people did. Loads of people also played it on PS+.

Although, I don't really know what the actual numerical value is of a load, unless it's the kind of load that we usually see used to criticize Sony or its games.

Akarogg 2022d ago

It sold about as well as Doom on Switch

The great dunk spoke, and knack 2 was goty before it even dropped. Spaghetti. Meatballs. Puerto Rico.

Amplitude2022d ago

Knack 2 and Kane and Lynch 2 were so good
Cool article though aha mostly all true.

Still waiting for Kanye and Lynch 3 to solve that insane cliffhanger ending

PhantomS422022d ago

I will always want more Naughty Bear. Those games are like bad SyFy movies, just so awful but so fun.

Retroman2022d ago (Edited 2022d ago )

Knack 1-2 was Fantastic...,.... hope Knack 3 being developed.
Can't wait for Ratchet and clank 2
Ps4

King_Noctis2022d ago

I wonder what would happen if Knack was multiplatform. Would people defend it that much.

rainslacker2021d ago (Edited 2021d ago )

I think people probably wouldn't even pay attention to it at all. There is no denying that exclusives do get a bit of a bump in notoriety. Same could be said for any number of mid-tier game which is multi-plat. It doesn't really get that much attention outside of an announcement, maybe an occasional screen shot or marketing blurb, and then some reviews on release. Quite a few mid-tier titles that are exclusive...especially those from 1st party, get a lot more attention.

That being said, the first one was pretty fun for a launch title. The second one was really good, although still had some room to do things better.

6 Xbox 360 Games That Still Need Xbox One Backwards Compatibility

Here are the seven Xbox 360 games that still need to be backwards compatible with the Xbox One, including one last Call of Duty title and a hip hop artist that needs to find his skull.

GRAW2 and Ninja Gaiden 2 and I’ll be set. I’m a little bitter though you can’t buy Splinter Cell Blacklist digitally, I certainly would have bought a new copy to play, I don’t have my disc anymore and I’ll never own another game on disc. Same thing happened with Red River, not sure why it happens but it is disappointing.

Sophisticated_Chap2079d ago

You can actually buy Blacklist digitally:

https://marketplace.xbox.co...

I agree with you though, we need GRAW2, but the game that I am really waiting for is The Darkness (the first game). I just played through GRAW1, and it was the first time that I had ever played the Xbox 360 version. It was good, but GRAW2 is definitely heads and tails above it in terms of the campaign.

It they could ever manage to release FEAR1 digitally, that would be awesome, but not likely.

AK912079d ago

Would love Dishonored 1 and the Batman Arkham games on BC, the remastered versions of those games is hot garbage.

DivineAssault 2079d ago

Do people actually play 360 games on the xb1 or do they kinda toy around for a while to check out the improvements? Im curious because i cant stand last gen games

annoyedgamer2079d ago

Yes, especially the miltiplayer games. I used it for Black Ops 2.

DivineAssault 2078d ago

I can see that. I dont like shooters but if you play those, i guess youd be really into the BC

Einhander19712079d ago

I bought the Xbox one X because of the backwards compatibility. Last gen games look amazing, Gears, Red dead look incredible in 4K. Still some of the best games were on last gen.

Lon3wolf2079d ago

Infinite Undiscovery is the only one I'm waiting on, I replayed Blue Dragon when it hit BC.
