Epic Mickey Not So Epic In Europe
Disney and Junction Point's Epic Mickey hit store shelves in North America today, but gamers in Europe have been able to pick it up since last week. However, it doesn't look like they did.
According to U.K. sales numbers, everybody's favorite mouse barely cracked the Top 40 on the individual formats charts. Epic Mickey debuted at position #39, just above F1 2010 (which has been available in Europe since September).
Is this a sign of bad things to come? We thought Epic Mickey was okay, but there was a lot of positive buzz surrounding the game. Are there more people on the fence about this title than it seemed?
