But obviously when investing in new IPs the publisher or company investing will look at the studios past history as a whole.

Companies who invest in these games want the game to pay for itself and make the targeted amount of profit within the first month month or two of its release (this is usually where over 2/3 of what the game will ever sell happens... usually more then 2/3, some games have legs though).



Also I want to know where that website gets it's data from...

Yes GT is the best selling PS Exclusive of all time... ever. God of War 3 is the second best at like 7 mil.

But GT games are amazingly far in between.

Game UK have cancelled my order for no reason at all - anyone else have this issue? Their webchat is unavailable and they are unreachable by phone - what a joke

email to game ceo ASAP - express how upset you are without being rude and this should be resolved (he will pass it onto someone else who will resolve it on his behalf).

you will need to do a bit of googling but it'll be worth it

Don't know if things have changed Gz but appears these corporate staff hide their emails well... I like to think I'm pretty good on searching these things out on google and used to be able to track them down but absolutely no joy on gamestop.us yesterday

That said it may be easier with game...

CEO@gamestop.com and president@gamestop.com didnt actually bounce back apparently...

Well I found the CEO for gamestop yesterday- sure it's just a case of joining up the dots, but I recall there was a dedicated website listing CEO email addresses.

If you pm me I may well still have a contact at game.

Don't let it rest Nipper they have to give you a reason or manually reinstate your order... Of course they have probably oversold...
