Enslaved Flops
In what is seen as a surprise to many - Namco Bandai's Andy Serkis driven action-adventure game Enslaved: Odyssey to the West hasn't met the companies expectations. The title has only so far managed to sell 800,000 units around the world, far less than Namco were expecting despite the good reviews and promotion the game had. The game also suffered at launch due to the PlayStation 3 version strangely not having Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound, something the company said would be added via a patch...but nearly a month down the line and the issue has not been fixed.
