Do you guys really believe that Cloud, Snake and whoever, could make any difference?
Crash Bandicoot and Cloud? Fuckin' absolutely. Snake? Maybe not... but still. Couldn't hurt.

That memory card comment already proved that.
If this came out in 2005 for the PS2, then defiantly.
Playstation mascot fighter sells badly in region known for poor Playstation sales.
I was interested at first but lost all interest during their marketing period. I’m probably in the minority here so I’m not saying they should have done anything different, but it feels like Sony doesn’t know how to market games (to me).
For my taste, Sony spammed their own blog way too much with marketing for their game. It felt like they don’t have any real means to market this games. I personally want to be surprised by games and not know everything beforehand. Again: Not saying they should have done everything differently, just that the way they did it turned me off.
I think that existed.
But what didn't exist? 'And I want Radec, Sweet Tooth, Fat Princess, Not Dante, Raiden, that kid from Ape Escape' etc in it. And to be fair, I like some of those characters, and I think the gameplay's pretty fun, but holy shit did they blow it on the getting big characters to pad out the smaller ones in this.
Honestly, the game's roster feels like free advertising for the publishers(Capcom, Konami) rather than celebrating Sony's mascots and third party franchises. I'm surprised when I finish a match as Raiden or Dante it doesn't say 'DMC/MGR in stores <insert date here>'
There's heavy rumors already that Nintendo have already secured a large number of third party characters for their next fighting game, including.
Namco Bandai - Lloyd Irving
Capcom - Chris Redfield, Ryu
Sega - Bayonetta, Sonic
Konami - Solid Snake, Eva
Ubisoft - Altair, The Prince
Activision - Tony Hawk
Ah huh.Can't say I'm surprised.
Can't say I feel bad for them either.
Making blatant rip-offs is not something that should be supported in any industry.

Uhh... the PS3 has sold just fine here and the PS2 was monstrous in the UK.
Can't say I'm surprised.

So far I've seen it marketed in the PS blog, TV ads, magazines, mailorder shop mailouts and the front of the store in GAME. What exactly is missing in the marketing strategy guys?
Yep. I think they thought Last of Us would make the holiday. Once that dropped back, there was nothing left to replace it.
Is there a thanksgiving like holiday in the uk? What holiday are we talking about?
I lost interested because I felt like they shoved it down my throat. You know, like you'll like your favourite food less when you eat it four times a week.You lost all interest in a game because you didn't like how it was marketed on a blog....
Meh, sure it will do alright in the long term
Xmas
Is it 1995 or something?
If this came out in 2005 for the PS2, then defiantly.
When do people in the uk do their christmas shopping?

Shocking news: UK market is in shambles.
Interested in the US NPD for a more reliable sales number.

Iconic characters perhaps?
Maybe it's just me and was unlucky to miss them, but I saw no TV ads whatsoever in the UK. But like I said could just be me.
Yep, I think it will get LPB1 numbers. Over 2 Mio. worldwide. Which is ok.Meh, sure it will do alright in the long term
Uh.. ok! So you never played the game. Alright!Can't say I'm surprised.

Pretty much the only country in Europe the ps3 is in 3rd place
Shameless Sony copy of what was a shit Nintendo game fails in the marketplace.
Heart warming news.
Yes, this game sold badly because of the UK market...
A bit of a surpise that it bombed that bad but to be honest its character lineup is just unappealing and this games lacks content. It feels like a barebone PSN game. Playstation Allstar sounds like a promising premise but it just lacks the iconic characters that helped to built up the "Playstation" image from PS1 to PS3, yes a lot of them are from 3rd parties but truth is most people don´t buy a Playstation for Sonys 1st party games. Where are Crash Bandicoot, Lara Croft, characters from popular franchises like Resident Evil, Dino Crisis, Final Fantasy, Suikoden, Eva Brea from Parasite Eve, Onimusha, Solid Snake, original Dante or even Spyro? Instead they included Bioshock character... honestly who cares about this thing.
They should have been more honest and call it Sonys Rumble or something like that, because calling it Playstation Allstars seems like false advertising and a lie to me.
I feel damn sorry for sony, they must put more money into first party titles than any other yet alot of them dont sell very well even when they are good games, this had little hope its a niche market. Such a shame.
