Now, this is the first time I see this mentioned here, plainly. And now that you mentioned it, Neal, could you please elaborate on why SH4 was not a top-seller?
I have my own ideas, but I would really like to hear those of others, especially yours.
Maybe this is the market/product analysis Ubi never cared to do.
BTW, I believe SH4 was such a disappointment in sales because it was the same in terms of gameplay and even moddability. Instead of building upon its famous predecessor, it tried to reinvent things and failed in a lot of aspects (ships physics and interface being just two such examples).
