Kotaku has an interesting piece on the new 50 Cent game, 50 Cent: Blood on The Sand, which is doing remarkably bad, at least compared to its predecessor, 50 Cent: Bulletproof. The sequel is only selling 1/12th of Bulletproof, or a mere 56,000 copies between its February launch and April, according to NPD. This is despite far better reviews from the industry.

One argument presented was that the setting of the new game — in the desert — is less appealing than the urban setting of the predecessor, and the fact that 50 Cent isn’t as popular as he was a few years back.
