from my perspective as a good saleman the following is not good
advertisement and promotion: not much known about this game in the outer world i knew nothing about dangerous waters untill i came to subsim and many of my other friends who play sub command and SH3 have never heard of DW
how to counter: easy advertise more in magasines on the net and in shops
in store sales: total joke beyond belief i bough sub command in a store from sonalasyst it done ok so a better version would go down more so i bough sub command when it was kinda in the middle (about 2003)
how to counter: create a demand que like playstation does put a few not alot of copys on the shelf in major stores and when sold out have it on order that way you dont have to over produce and make a loss
my opinion: im glad DW is out im glad its a good game and with the patches it will be better but it will probly be a flunk i doubt many more people than these people on subsim are going to buy it so it becomes junk and that means no copies sold its failed,
not many people know about DW so they dont investigate it and dont dig deep its what puts people off.
personaly i think sonalasyst is going to have to rethink this whole idea of selling DW otherwise its going to be one hell of a great waste.
oh p.s can i see the sales figures if its possible please or something showing number of copys sold
cheers dont mean to be negative just advice and one opinion
