Senior community manager James Stevenson responded to Gamermint’s report comparing the low sales to that of Dead Island, which was released on the same day, 6th September: ”Comparing Resistance 3′s sell-through number on one platform to Dead Island’s copies shipped number on 3 platforms isn’t really an Apples to Apples comparison.”
When a user sent a tweet to Insomniac Games official Twitter account, ”Sad to hear the bad news about Resistance 3 but I really hope R&C All4One will do great! It deserves it! Loved the beta!”, a spokesperson replied, “what bad news? Oh, no, the numbers are accurate, but that was still good enough for #7 on the US charts”
Insomniac’s other 2011 release, Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, will be released on 18th October. The developer has also teamed up with Electronic Arts to work on a multiplatform title called Overstrike.
