Rayman Legends gets a price cut in US shops

This does not bode well for Rayman's popularity in the US.

Gamestop and Wal-Mart drops the prices from $60 to $40 in less than a month. This seems to be a result of sales being an unsurprising low, especially at how Ubisoft handled the delay and due to what it's competing against. Rayman Origins all over again from what I see.

Thoughts?

Everyone's playing GTAV.freedomfreak

So it'll be cheap real soon then.

Did it to themselves. I bet alot of people would of bought this on Wii-U in february $60, because of the software drought. I bought at launch and love it, but I'm not everyone and people don't want to pay $60 for a platformer not matter how high quality it is.

Im not sure the real reasoning. Probably a factor of GTAV's release and the delay when it was to release in two weeks when they announced the push back.

It's only cheaper on Wii U, ey? Maybe it's a gesture to the people who have waited an extra half year for this?

Rayman Origins dropped to like 30 dollars really quickly and i think Ubisoft was really happy with how profitable that game was. I dont think this is a 50 million dollar game.

[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"]It's still pretty bad when you couldn't sell it at full price though.

Rayman Origins kept getting price drops, and it ended up selling over a million. Legends will be fine.charizard1605

last i heard it sold around 1.5 million just between the ps3 and 360 version. so it's safe to say that origins sold over 2 million units, which is pretty damn good for a 2d platformer not named mario. legends will be fine.

i  played it by my friend.. The game sucks.. Clearly for children

Shouldve stayed exclusive and released in february. It wouldve sold better due to not dealing with GTAV.nini200

no. it would have sold worse due to only being available on the wii-u.

That's why I didn't get it immediately.  I knew this would happen.

But it's trickle down marketing.  Every company does it.  Name one that doesn't.

I'll probably get it when it's on a steam sale. :P

I feel bad for saying this, but i knew this was going to happend, so i didn't bought it at launch...i got The Puppeteer instead,(another game i think it will have a price cut real soon, but damn it is worth every penny i pay for it) also i want to get it on WiiU and i won't be getting one untli December...so, i think i will find it really cheap by the time i finally get it...yeah, a shame because it does look like a great game.
