Resistance Retribution Sales Promising, For The PSP

(Posted: 12/04/2009) by Ronin90

Released over three weeks ago to rave reviews from critics, Resistance Retribution was praised for being a perfect example of how a Playstation Portable game should be approached by developers. Sales haven't necessarily been through the roof, but it has been selling reasonably well for a PSP game.

According to VGChartz (an independent game sales estimator), sales across the board have actually been fairly even, with Japanese gamers (not predominantly known for their adoption of western software) buying the game at a frequency on par with those seen in Europe (approx 15k units in the first week), and only slightly behind North American gamers.

Games such as Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters and Tekken: Dark Resurrection have sold in the millions after starting off slowly, and this looks promising for Resistance Retribution as while it may not achieve those numbers in the short-term, it currently looks promising for high totals in the long-term.

Gaming Union identified it as offering a "deep and rewarding experience", while GameTrailers claimed it was a "must-play for fans of the series or those who are looking for a great shooter for the road". There were also numerous other commendations and if you are a fan of the Resistance franchise and own a PSP, you should definitely check out Retribution.
