Duke Nukem - From hype to cash-game flop

14 years of development time to build an expectation that can not really be satisfied. That was clear even before the release of "Duke Nukem Forever". Nevertheless, many players were surprised by the sometimes nasty panned - and then let the game are probably in store.

Duke Nukem Forever is certainly not complete garbage, from a very good game but also very far away. Thus the game at Metacritic, a portal that cumulative score of all the major international trade magazines, at best, acceptable scores: Depending on the version (PC, PS3 or Xbox 360), the average score is 49-54 of 100 possible points.

Now some numbers on the Internet have emerged which suggest the conclusion that the bad ratings have had a massive impact on sales. Therefore Gearbox Software and Take 2 could to settle in the U.S. so far only 330 000 units of the game, the rest of the world market again came to 231 000 copies. The total would give a figure of 561 000 games sold. From the perspective of a publisher and developer of disappointing absolute value, which suggests a presumption that Duke Nukem Forever was sold primarily on the well overflowed and pre-orders since the publication of the first reviews how lead is on the shelves.

Publisher Take 2, who had spent as a sales target two million copies, wanted to refer to these numbers so far no comment.
