50 Cent’s Blood and Sand may have impressed video game critic’s moreso than his first game Bulletproof but apparently, accolades aren’t enough to convince the fans. Sales for Fif’s 2009 sequel to his 2005 hit aren’t as impressive; were talking 1/12th of its predecessor, around 56,000 copies world wide.
To its credit, Blood and Sand has only been on shelves for three months now. However it pales in comparison to the first three months of fan fueled frenzy — 681,000 copies–that pushed the final sales figures for Bulletproof to 1,123,000 copies.
On top of the frustration over the string of Before I Self Destruct release delays and a sagging economy, if his game’s performance is any indicator of the markets willingness to put a buck behind the name 50 Cent, 50 may have a rough year ahead of him.
