@Dezzy 660K (Digital and physical) by around November was the estimates. That's bad because NSane Trilogy (only on the PS4) did 2.5 million in the same timeframe.
Papa Activision isn't gonna be happy about that. Even with the change in price, not even hitting a cool million would be enough for them to pull the plug as the rumor suggests.
That's also ignoring possible development troubles even before release.
@Clyde_Radcliffe A Switch port would have been on the cards except development was also rumored to be terrible with Beenox having to be brought in to clean up their mess. Take it with a grain of salt but the scuttlebutt is that Toys For Bob botched it and Activision knew they had a turd on their hands.
@Dezzy Crash 4 was actively avoided during the Activision investor meeting yesterday, so yeah. It didn't even break a million sales if estimates are to be believed.
There's also the recent rumor from Liam Robertson who claims that "Wumpa League" is dead.
Bitch and moan but people are still buying the stuff. Consumers don't care they've been lied to, had parts of their games removed and sold to them as DLC (microtransactions or/and season pass), are forced to download large Day one Patches because the whole game isn't on the disc (Lookin at you, Spyro), or even getting a functional game.
Let them. It's their money to waste. No skin off my back.
Xenoblade X ain't coming. Especially if the rumors that Nintendo of America are cockblocking it are true ("Use the censored version or we won't release it").
It'd just be another flop, like the censored switch version of Tokyo Mirage Sessions NoA forced everywhere (Thank you Atlus rep for telling us).
@PrincessAzunyan
Hi gaslighting person. You are right, it is never a problem even though we live in a world where SONY CENSORS games of this type. Nintendo totally never did anything like this before except when they did to Fatal Frame 5.
Totally not a real problem because censorship doesn't exist...Unless it involves big tits then it's not really censorship, it's making things "diverse and inclusive". Ya fool.
@dBackLash If "barely anyone cared" you wouldn't be saying anything. Pirated version was uncensored and had all the costumes (yes even the nintendo ones). Add in that you need an HD to buy the game anyway and the obvious choice was obvious.
But please, keep lying. Just like with Tokyo Mirage Sessions flopping on the Switch. "Censorship wasn't an issue, it was Covid/Donald Trump/Russian Bots/Manbearpig"
@Narrator1 That's not it. The game got a physical release in Europe and Japan. Nintendo of America, the worthless garbage they are, decided to not bother despite being a much bigger market.
Granted, the European version didn't do much better cause it was censored as well.
Ah yes, the series Nintendo outright killed due to a mixture of incompetence and censorship. You know you done f'ed up when the Pirated version of Fatal Frame 5 is the best version.
"Hey, let's make this 12GB digital only even though our base console only has 8GB of space. Let's also censor it cause we don't want to scare kids playing this M-RATED game"
@Entrr_username It's a straight forward attempt to cause "controversy" which they hope will get Nintendo's attention. They want someone with actual power to censor the game but that type of thing only works on Sony and against anime games.
Never heard of the game but this mess is great advertisement.
We've been through this already when Fairy Tale got its day one censorship patch. Nothing the devs say can be trusted.
FYI Sony forces devs to censor on ALL platforms in order to release on playstation. If there is a playstation version, the game is "pre-censored" i.e. already watered down to appease Sony just like with Kandagawa Jet Girls.
@boredlizard Not likely. they actually got the hip to shoulder proportions correct here(unlike Abbyzilla). She also has proper breasts instead of Jinder Mahall manpecks.
What I'm saying is the art director actually knew how to draw a muscular woman unlike whatever Naughty Dog was trying to do.
For those wondering, Freedom Planet is currently in Duke Nukem Forever territory. So much so that they've re-named the release date to "When it's done".
Don't know what's happening behind the scenes but I've given up on Freedom Planet 2. Maybe when its on sale but I've stopped caring.

@Ghost_of_Hasashi So long as Nintendo of America is "allegedly" cockblocking it, don't get your hopes up.
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
You didn't want to defend against censorship years ago with Xenoblade X and the weeb stuff so this is your reward. Enjoy.
Re: Pyra and Mythra Are Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Newest DLC Fighters
1.92 million sales
That's what happens when you don't have Treehouse to butcher your games in localization.
Also, RIP Xenoblade X port.

Keep moving the goal post bub. Before that it was "Wii U's install base is too small". It was censorship.
But please, keep lying. It amuses me. BTW

Feel free to cite a source but I'm certain you don't have a better one. In the end, Crash 4 was a flop. It ain't pleasant but thems the breaks.
That link also had Xbox sales BTW.

After the Crash 4 flop, guess they'll go back to the well with Wrath of Cortex and Twinsanity....Or they'll just remake another old Call of Duty game.
Re: Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury Leaked Online A Week Before Launch

That'd be like playing wack a mole. Knock one down, another two pop up.
Better to find where the source of the leak is and send in the Plumbers....With baseball bats.

Re: Video: 13 Great Wii U Games Still Not on Switch

That's a fluff piece. It was Treehouse who did it because Nintendo handled all the publishing aspects.

You can also check it on the wayback machine. I don't know what happened but I don't expect to see a release of the game, ever.
