I know this got delisted (I think even before release)...but I went back for fun and it didn't sell enough in its first 4 days of release to even crack VG top 200...
This game never would have tracked in any way for us to get even a trend.
This game will also be competing with SM: Friend or Foe for attention at approx the same time (if it is released). That is something the other console/handhelds didn't have to worry about 6 months ago.
Yes, but you can't build real hype around a DVD and Blue Ray release, I don't think it will create the halo like effect that a movie release does, so I don't think that it would boost sales for this game much (if at all). This stock should still be around 16DKP.
This should probably be around 16DKP or lower for the following reasons:
+It is a PSP movie game, so it probably won't sell that well in the first place. As examples, we have: ~Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (PSP) at 9.74DKP ~Shrek the Third (PSP) at 6.79DKP ~Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (PSP) at 11.97DKP ~Transformers: The Game (PSP) at 14.63DKP -All those games were released around the times of their respective movies also.
+The game is being released a good 6 months after the movie, so it can't use the halo surrounding that movie to boost sales and have free advertising.
+Unless this game is heavily marketed (how would you market a movie tie-in that is being released 6 months after the movie?), I don't see it selling well at all.
+To add onto these negatives, the game is being released near the start of the holiday season, so people will have their eyes on other games (such as Final Fantasy Tactics and Syphon Filter) rather than a movie game that is being released long after the hype of the movie has died down.
Lifetime sales of Spiderman 2 for PSP are approx 24DKP according to VG. This would be after 2+ years of sales and a lot of time at discount prices.
Spiderman 3 is coming out 5 months after the movie (if at all?) so will have NO movie tie in push..just SM fans purchasing it. This combined with the reviews of other versions being less that spectacular and I'd be surprised to see this game get to 20DKP.
