50 Cent: Blood on the Sand sales pale to Bulletproof

We're not amused either (by the game, I mean)...

It may help to market the game if you want the people to know about it.

Wait...1.2 million divided by 12 is 100,000, not 56,000. Uh oh, 50 Cent's really gonna be mad now.

maybe an online mp/trophy patch could help things...

I blame it on the horrible 50 game they made for the PS2, making people probably think this would suck just as much.

That's what you call a Delayed Reaction.

So MadWorld actually outsold something? Whoooooo.

Always a silver lining kids.

Biggest facepalm ever. I guess this just shows that even 50 Cent fans don't know how to see quality product.

This is irony at its best. The first game took relatively no effort and no thought went into it and it was devoured by his fans. This time, he took a hands-on approach and handcrafted it in his own image (like God would) and apparently no one gave a shit.
*cue Bender's irony song (from the Devil episode)*

You know who I blame? Ben Gilbert.

i was just thinking about getting this, then wolverine released and maybe next week.

This one's easy, it's all about the money. In 2005, the games were cheaper, the consoles were cheaper, and the economy was a lot better. The typical 50 cent fan(young, lower class) now probably doesn't even have a "next-gen" console, and even if they do, probably can't spare the $60 for the game. Most of the people in the target audience for this game are probably still using their PS2s. I bet if there was a PS2 version of Blood on the Sand out, it would be selling copies closer to what Bulletproof did.

Just a dumb premise. Plus 50 cent being on there makes people even less likely to buy it. I mean if a rapper is on it, then its gotta be good. I mean if people saw a game with Michael Bolton on it holding two machetes in a rain forest with his wife being constricted by a python, they would know to stay away. Blood in the sand is the same situation. Actually I'd probably buy the Michael Bolton game.

I find this sadly hilarious. Or hilariously sad. One of the two.

It's simple what happened: 50 cent's fans all bought the first game, realized it sucked, then thought his next game would too. Surprisingly, it didn't. Just goes to show that a poor quality product can bite you in the ass even after its made you money.

Personally, i couldn't care less. I hate rap. And even though blood on the sand isn't terrible, it's not particularly good, either. And nowadays you gotta make every cent count.

HA! I made a terrible pun.

There's hope for the future of gaming yet.

Crappy games like this shouldn't sell 1 copy let alone what it did

you know? because they got fooled once, if he comes out with a third game the second ones who got fooled will not be fooled again

I blame the west coast for this.

I wish he had an identical twin, so they could have a rap group call Susan B.

Damn, that's really disappointing, this was a very fun game. It's too bad that certain segments of the game review corps underweight fun in their reviews.

They just shouldn't have mentioned the Crystal Skull ... and the scene with the refrigerator was ludicrous. ... Oh wai *no carrier*

I did my part. I bought it and beat it twice in one day (the second time took less than three hours). I kept it to play again.

Honestly, (down vote me if u may) i would have bought this if it had trophies.

Not cause im a trophy whore and would have played it JUST for trophies but because i dont like that devs dont have the time to impliment such a small thing into the game, all it takes is one small patch, this goes the same for Silent Hill Homcoming.

the problem with the game is that it's just not realistic.

It's just stupid that 50 cent would be running through the desert killing everyone to find his skull.

When I lost my jeweled, crystal skull I just had to fill out a form.

I dont hink its bad because its 'hip hoppy' but its jus that its stereotipical cliches of hip hop but not really hiphop its fantasy

I'm not surprised a shitty game like this wasn't successful... 50 cent is old now in the hip hop community.... His time has come and gone and he'll join the pantheon of other hip hop hasbeen's from now on...

He should just be happy he was lucky enough to survive getting shot nine times and coming out with some shitty album that a buncha knuckle dragging idiots bought into.

Before I say this let me clear up a misconception that may be taken from what I'm about to say I'M NOT A 50 CENT FAN but i do listen 2 his music from time to time. Now is it me or am I reading alot of biased comments against 50? The dood makes a lot of decent music and in the hip hop circuit he's the master of beef, mater of fact he just knocked all of the momentum out of Rick Ross and DJ Khaled and Lil' Wayne (some one that is probably one of the most listened to rappers) has said that he wouldn't beef with 50 because it's pretty much a suicidal move career wise. On the whole gaming aspect they didn't even promote the game how it should of been and the demographic of people that bought the game aren't broke but probably just overlooked the game because of the first games obvious flaws. I mean I didn't grab it because I already had my games that I planned on buying picked out but I might grab it if I beat all of the games i have (which probably won't be likely because I have a long list of games to buy for 09) but if this occurs I'll be happy to grab it because it's a quick fun game that got decent reviews.
