Resistance 3 Barely Outsells R1




Resistance 3 is supposed to be a big exclusive for Sony, a first-person shooter (FPS) series that helped launch the PlayStation 3 (in arguably one of the worst videogame console launches of all time) before molding into one of the platform holder's premier franchises.

However, first-week sales for the game are anything but impressive, bordering downright pathetic leading into arguably one of the most competitive few months in the industry in a long time (Battlefield 3, Modern Warfare 3, Uncharted 3, Skyrim, Gears of War 3, Forza 4, Batman: Arkham City, just to name a few).

Where did Sony go so wrong in its marketing for Resistance 3, and is Uncharted 3 on the same pathway to retail destruction?

Probably not.  Simply put, Resistance 3 was never that much of a franchise, but it did hold up as a very solid FPS series with an intriguing story (now, if only the developer could actually execute the story on a level that gamers can appreciate).

It is very troublesome to see the game's sales, though, and the figures do raise some questions as to Sony's handling of a game that could very well have the potential to move hardware on its own accord.

The fact that the third game in a series can only sell a mere 274,000 copies of the game (only just surpassing Resistance 1's first-week figures by a mere 30,000 -- remember: the first game was a launch title) for a console with an install base of roughly 53 million is disappointing to say the least, but not at all surprising.

Not a good look at all

I got the game for free and honestly I wouldn't have considered buying or renting the game.

I started playing it last night and the main campaign is pretty fun. But the graphics on the game leave me shaking my head sometimes. Certain times in the game the game looks dope but other times the graphics look like a PS2 game.

I'm not even surprised at Resistance 3 numbers, if never stood out, it never did anything significant in the FPS realm. Just playing the beta alone could tell you a lot about the MP aspect.

I really don't see why people freak whenever PSN goes down.

It's like a lot people nowadays just rely on and play most games strictly for multi player. Especially the gamers who play sports games or FPS games like Call Of Duty of Battlefield.

When PSN went down I simply just went back and played 1 player games that were in my backlog of games I hadn't touched in awhile.
