Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Hasn’t Sold Well, Suggets New Report – WGB

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 wasn’t fairly nail the touchdown in the identical method Professional Skater 1+2 did, however was nonetheless an gratifying acid drop into the vert ramp of nostalgia. Nevertheless, as enjoyable because it was, the gross sales numbers are usually not wanting robust.

In this week’s newsletter from Alinea Analytics, Rhys Elliot gave us a have a look at July’s most downloaded video games throughout Xbox, PlayStation and PC. Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater 3+4 ranked because the ninth highest on their chart, bringing in 1.9 million downloads. After all, the sport launched straight onto Sport Cross, which is the place most of these downloads got here from.

What’s actually attention-grabbing, although, is that Elliot offered a approach to gauge gross sales. “…there sadly isn’t an excessive amount of to be stoked about sales-wise, as over 90% of those got here from Xbox because of its Sport Cross inclusion.”

So, if the sport had 1.9m downloads and no less than 90% of these had been from Sport Cross, meaning we are able to surmise that the sport solely offered about 190,000 copies throughout Xbox, PlayStation and Steam. That quantity could also be barely greater now, in fact, nevertheless it’s nonetheless not nice.

In comparison with the primary sport, Professional Skater 3+4 is doing significantly better by way of uncooked participant numbers, as Professional Skater 1+2 offered 1,000,000 copies in its first two weeks. However as I’m certain you already found out, that’s gross sales and never simply gamers, so 1+2 carried out massively higher in that sense.

Lately, although, it’s a lot tougher to gauge success as a result of Sport Cross works on fully totally different metrics, and Microsoft aren’t sharing what these are – they is likely to be very proud of Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater 3+4, which was rumoured to have been given simply 18 months of growth and a small funds.
