10 Video Games That Released At The WORST Possible Time
2. Resistance: Fall Of Man
Another shooter, the first entry into the Resistance franchise had a difficult release, but not because of any kind of FPS sandwich. In fact, even though Resistance was a PlayStation 3 exclusive, its biggest competitor comes out of nowhere in being that of the Nintendo Wii.
Both releasing in November of 2006, the Wii took the world by storm and as you probably remember, everyone had to have one. This is also the reason why Wii Sports, the most basic of concepts, is the highest selling single platform game of all time.
Past the Nintendo hype you might think Resistance could enjoy its comfy place among the PlayStation 3’s exclusives. That’s correct, to some degree. The simple, bland shooter held its own as an exclusive.
However, it also had to compete with the likes of Call of Duty 3 and across the industry on the Xbox 360, the original Gears of War. Although they’re not direct competitors, we can clearly see which exclusive won that little showdown.
