Dead Space 3 is a.... FAILURE?!

Well, Electronic Arts released it's annual sales report and the most odd thing came up: Dead Space 3 was classified as a "failure."

According to William D'Angelo of VGChartz.com, EA Labels president Frank Gibeau told CVG a year ago that Dead Space 3 needs to sell five million units to justify Dead Space 4. Dead Spoce 3 has sold just 880,000 units at retail as of the week ending February 23, 2013, according to VGChartz. This is the total sales after three weeks on sale.

So why is EA being so picky about the Dead Space franchise? To my knowledge, Dead Space is one of EA's best-selling series so them being so finicky about how many copies the third installment needs to sell in order for there to be a fourth is kind of ridiculous. I mean, Game Informer gave the game a 10 out of 10 AND named it Game of the Month in February 2013(?)! They can just use what they learned from the entry and just improve and apply it to the fourth game.

So what do you, the audience think? Is EA justified to stop continuing the Dead Space franchise just because Dead Space 3 didn't sell as well as hoped? Leave a comment in the Comments!
