The worst ever commercial launch of a tennis game !

by **C4iLL** » Sat, 18 Feb 2012 12:36

Week n°1 sales of GST2 on Xbox = 2.900
Week n°1 sales of TS4 on Xbox = 22.000

Week n°1 sales of GST2 on PS3 = 7.636
Week n°1 sales of TS4 on PS3 = 26.000

After 10 weeks of commercialisation of TS4 :
Sales on Xbox = 4.815
Sales on PS3 = 7.750

TS4 made more sales during its tenth week, than GST2 during its first week ! What an historic fail :lol:

Compare to GST on Wii:

1st week: 42.005

10th week: 13.873

The Wii version was true quality regarding gameplay and the sales were solid.

TS3 on Wii sold the best out of all the TS3 versions - yet it was the worst home console version. :lol:

Obviously the attempts in putting out more casual tennis games are (relative) failures: Tennis is a niche sports genre and usually only played by true tennis fans, they should be the focus.

EA should have priced the game at $11,999,999.99 instead of $49.99. Granted, at that price, less people would be inclined to buy, but EA would only have had to sell one game to make a profit.

People are stupid.

After 4-5 weeks, only 45-50K units were sold (PS3 and Xbox).
Top Spin 4 = 600K

Since 2012, TS4 = 50K sales, a great statistic !

Good to see that gamers, for the most part, refused to drink the EA Kool-Aid.

Don't think it's just because of EA but because GST2 is an awful, unfinished game. EA Sports can do better.

And good to see so many new players getting into TS4.

The worst ever commercial launch of a tennis game !
