Yeah wasn't Freddy the highest selling character?

Yeah, and scorpion was for injustice, thats why nrs are doubling down on the guest characters for mkx

So why do people get salty about guest characters when the majority of people buy them?

So if they're not the highest selling they're a flop? Kenshi shouldn't be in either then.

But Rain didn't sell all that much, for what I have been told.

Has an official statement been released regarding where they chart?

Rain, MMH and Zatanna were all fan requests weren't they? How well did they sell?

 

[TopTierHarley]

Every character that is in the game and playable is based solely around their role in the story.

Kenshi is in the main roster. I think most people like him, but even if they didn't, they're paying 60 USD for a lot of other things, not just him. Now, DLCs are made to sell by themselves. Maybe you're right, and Tanya is a good move by them.

Martian Manhunter sold the best for Injustice. Despite what Boon said. I've looked at the PSN and Xbox Live DLC sales records and can provide proof. Freddy however sold the best for MK9, with Rain coming in 2nd.

Freddy sold the best in MK9? are you sure? could you post some proofs of that?

When I was digging in the XBL sales records, he was leagues ahead of Rain who was leagues ahead of Kenshi and Skarlet. I don't think the PSN sales records would be too different.

I believe you. I guess he outsold Kenshi, Rain and Skarlet because Kenshi & Rain weren't well known and Skarlet was entirely new.

 

[Mulder]

Skarlet over all sold the worst on XBL. I don't think it'd be different over on PSN.

Probably because they don't belong in the MK universe or some shit. Idk.

Poor Skarlet.

 

[Mulder]

Making a brand new character based on a fan urban legend DLC was IMO a bad call. But that's just my thoughts. Skarlet as a concept was great.

That's no surprise there. Freddy Krueger has a greater fan base and how many times has he been playable in any fighting game? People couldn't wait to get their hands on Freddy.

That's also why Jason Voorhees is a brilliant idea. He gets a lot of hate on these boards, but his fan base is gigantic as well. I think a lot of people underestimate that.

Horror fans will get wet in the pants.

Scorpion sold 2nd best on XBL for Injustice. He did pretty shitty on PSN though. Zod and Batgirl were overall disasters sales wise.

I can believe that, nobody wanted Zod nor Batgirl. If they would have released Darkseid or Dr. Fate I bet Scorpion would have been at the bottom.

 

[Wemfs]

Batgirl was whack as fuck. Darkseid or Dr. Fate would've been leaps and bounds better than fucking Batgirl. They could've done so much better.

 

[Mulder]

Lobo did pretty good on PSN ((He was the 3rd best selling character)) but crashed on XBL. Only MMH and Zatanna ((Came in 2nd on PSN, 3rd on XBL)) did well across the board.

Hmmm where are you seeing this... The ps3 site oddly lists skarlett as the best selling...

I didn't look at the PSN sales for MK9 which might be my error.

Sounds like different strokes for different folks

Could I get a link to this? I'm curious to see the PSN sales.

Oh... Its odd because it lists skarlett, kenshi, rain, freddy...
Maybe there is a big difference in region and platform... Or overtime freddy dropped...

 

[Mulder]

Is it listing them in release order? Because that'd be a funny coincidence if they sold from highest to lowest in release order.
