After quite a few years and what appeared like a number of overhauls, the sport lastly launched final month to disappointing opinions throughout. We noticed video games like Anthem and Leap Power overcome detrimental opinions to promote nicely for the month of February, however Crackdown 3 was not so fortunate in its debut month.
As reported by VentureBeat as at all times, the February NPD numbers had been simply launched yesterday and it was no shock to see a few of the video games on the prime. Whereas we didn’t anticipate Crackdown 3 to win the month, it definitely did worse than we may have ever anticipated.
When wanting on the prime 20 for the month of February, Crackdown 3 is nowhere to be seen in anyway. Your first thought is perhaps that any Xbox sport would fail to chart nicely as a consequence of being a part of Xbox Sport Go, however that has not been the case prior to now. Video games like Sea of Thieves and State of Decay 2 topped the NPD charts of their respective months final yr even with Sport Go, so the correlation there doesn’t appear to match up.
