Speaking of sales and stuff, how much of a percent does MS, Sony and Nintendo make off of downloadable titles?

No worries, we all jump to conclusions sometimes. :)

Yeah it has been said already but... That site seems to be just taking random stabs in the dark at sales numbers with little to no evidence and none in the case of Sonic 4 and Dead Space.

Posted the latest FADE numbers (they are trying to be the NPD of digital sales, they feed numbers to companies, including SEGA). Oct Sonic 4 came in 2nd, with 98k. (only XBLA)

Sonic 4 was one of the '10 biggest gaming disappointments of 2010' according to IGN:

That's interesting, especially considering their review of the game. Silly IGN

They gave Gran Turismo 5 an 8,5/10 and it places in second in that list.

Also, Final Fantasy XIII got an 8,9/10 and it's the biggest disappointment of the year in their opinion.

The list was really stupid. Sonic 4 "Short" even though it has 2 more episodes? Really? Oh, "BEING VERY GOOD IS NOT ENOUGH" God what is this?

Pokemon is on there?

Oh, its by Australians. That explains everything.

Because Australians are NOT gamers.

MadMan summed it up perfectly. If we were collecting Kangaroos or talking about Mad Max then we would listen.

To be fair I do kinda agree with the whole list, not just s4e1. Australians for the win... or something like  that   :p

After reading the full list, I agree on Final Fantasy XIII. It has without a doubt hurt the overall image of this massive RPG franchise and to be honest I have yet to play a Squeenix game this generation that I liked.

About Sonic 4, well, I only played the trial version thus far, maybe the game didn't quite live up to whatever hype it had, I guess that's fair.

Isn't Final Fantasy XIV  bigger disappointment than FF XIII?
Was everyone expecting it would suck?

I don't know anybody personally that's put a significant amount of time into it and not really enjoyed it.
The only people I know that've not liked it, only played the first couple hours, complained that it was too linear and dropped it.
The paradigm system is one of the most intense battle systems in any RPG that I've ever played.  Sure the game takes a while to open it all up, but the sections leading up to that get you to use different paradigms that you wouldn't normally think of, and might be crucial later on in the game.

Thing is, I've played through FF6 and FF9 following 13, and they're just as linear.  Neither game really opens up until at least the halfway point.

That said, they were all games that I really enjoyed.
