WWE Game Not Doing Well
Unfortunately for WWE and THQ, the SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 has not sold as well as it was expected to. Compared to the 2008 version, sales are down 22% from what the '08 version was at this time of the year. THQ was hoping to break even this year, but this will be difficult due to games like this.

yeah....09 is better than 08,but because we have higher expectation for 09 it's a bigger disappointment than 08!

Yea, these idiot game makers miss a huge market when they don't make them for PC. The idea however is to get those PC users to buy the PS3, 360 consoles and spend more money. To hell with them.

I agree with no one has $60 to spend on a game nowadays. Plus the lack of GM really sucked. I did like the expanded roster finally. PUT IN A REAL BACKSTAGE AREA!!! Falls Count Anywhere matches are dumb until they add more areas and do something with the ramp areas. I'd like to do a Shane or Jeff Hardy off the Titon-Tron.

'08 disappointed so many people that they probably weren't willing to sink the money into '09.

maybe if you clowns got jobs instead of jerking off on this site all day you'd have money. the reason the game isn't selling is because it hasn't changed at all over the years. other than the rosters everything is the same. it's a waste of time for THQ.

Well they are both good games and I like both buy 09 is better but not by much I had high expectaitions for it and it did not do really good on 1-10 i would give 08 5 and 09 7 maybe 5 or 6 they arent as good as i thought if it wasnt for 09 i would be still playing 08... 09 Has a kinda good career and bad one but 09 HAS THE ROAD TO WRESTLEMAINIA I thought that was the best part I FINSIHED THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!
