Haze VS Too human, which will bomb the most?

Saw this question on another forum and thought it would make an interesting topic here.
Haze has sold 400.000 (lifetime) so far and Too human is nearing 200.000 and sales dropping steeply this week.

So here's the big question, which game was the bigger failure?

Haze without a doubt. Up until launch it was touted as a Halo killer, but it ended up being a sub-standard coop fps like just about every other one released for the ps3 to date. It wasn't just the poor game, I believe the hype and lacklustre demo also helped its demise.

Also from my PoV all the marketing stuff made it look spookily similar to a few other PS3 games launched around that time. I think the main contributor being the helmet and yellow visor... I have seen that in quite a few titles I am sure.

Now... Too human is quite a blast, I quite like the fighting style and for a long term PC gamer like me I found it quite new and exciting. A bit like DMC4 but with a combat style that suits me better, but I am surprised that considering how long it has come to market how few copies it has sold.

Have you tried it yet Gazz?

haze is alright. I think what kills most decent games on the PS3 are the hypes. i still cant believe that people think MGS4 is the best PS3 game so far. it stinks and isn't even a game but an interactive movie

Nope, I have not. Haze I did try, and I have little to no interest in games like Too Human or anything similar to the JRPG genre, only ones I ever played were Final fantasy and Koudelka. I did post in the Too Human topic here though: Too Human

This topic also was not created with the option of bashing any system which may come to mind since both titles were on different systems. Just as some fun way of looking at sales and seeing how reviewscores are becoming increasingly important in the gaming industry.

Yeah I understand mate. The only thing going for Haze is the mass coop feature and I must admit it is quite a nice experience when playing with a few people of varying abilities, however, as I also found with Crysis, the singleplayer campaign is mind-numbingly over-similar to nearly every FPS, bar HL2, CoD4 and Bioshock, that I ever played.
