Like it or not but looking at the sales figures for more recent Xbox 360 exclusives and even multiple format games it appears that gamers are not 'biting' and parting with cash for these games.
Alan Wake, from Max Payne and Control creator Remedy, is a horror classic, prompting one player to buy 4,000 copies that don’t even work.
Kind of a goody story...
On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.
Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.
Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.
Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.
Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄
So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.
I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.
Alan Wake 2 continues the writer's story, 13 years later.
Remedy has Alan Wake merch on sale, including a pretty blue thermos. Unfortunately, things haven’t gone according to plan, and many players who want a thermos find themselves without one, though it does appear that Remedy is attempting to fix things. Nevertheless, it has resulted in a lot of upset, illustrating just how much the thermos means to Alan Wake fans.
Has anyone seen any Alan Wake ads? I've yet to see one and its one of there best games this year. I've noticed all the Multiplatform ads have been for the PS3 lately Even RDR and Its better on the 360. Whats wrong with MS they always spend a lot on Ads
because they're not strictly shooting games. period. i don't think alan wake has any gun play in it, me2 was an rpg and splinter cell was more tactical. they want their halo and gears and can't be bothered with anything else. that's the curse of having popular casual games (which they are) as your flagship titles. a large % of 360 owners probably only buy those 2 games as well as maybe madden & cod and that's it.
these games haven't sold poorly, but like with the wii, with the supposedly larger install base they should be doing much better.
btw surprising to see that the 360 RDR only outsold the ps3 version by 400k or so and prince of persia is selling more on ps3. i thought the 360 had a much larger install base and ps3 owners don't buy games?
There just not hitting the numbers they used to, probably because everyone and there mum are playing MW2.
I struggle to find people on my friends list who arn't playing an iteration of Call of Duty.
These games are ruining the industry but they are good fun online so who can argue with that.
Let's face it, the best selling games on the 360 or PS3 is usually FPSs.
