Why some IPs sell poorly

October 20, 2011 in Blog comments 1

Year after year some publishers produce the same games. Sometimes if gamers are lucky they seen a new IP. Sometimes the new IPs sell well for example Bulletstorm, Dead Island, and LA Noire. But other games like Majin and Blur don't sell well at all. Is it because the gaming industry only wants the new Call of Duty, Gears of War, and Madden?

    big game companies can not make a lot of new IPs.. they just can not. they must produce huge big hitters each and every time. with out fail.

    so with that said here are the types of games that are typically made;
    1. sequels (call of duty, FF, mario, zelda, warcraft)
    2. games for hollywood, video games made after games.
    3. tie games.. these could be any games that have a cleb, sports or alike tie in. such as rock band.

    that is the state of big gaming right now... the good news is there has never been more indie gaming companies and they have never ever gained so much round so fast.. we are in a time of change for the game market.. its going back to how games use to be on the indie end.

    its all marketing and the basic fan is the fans us are part to blame for the state of gaming as it is today.


    good read on your thoughts on this
