You do know the reason why they are going to offer this epilogue DLC, is because the game bombed, and thus, they can't continue the story with a sequel, because there will be no sequel.

i'm liking it okay so far

i can't comment on the story because i only halfway pay attention to what's being said and i sort of tune out

 i'm just enjoying the pretty scenery and the easy jumping

it's a good game to autopilot through and watch all the cool animations

It's no Assassin's Creed, but it's not a bomb by any stretch (especially when you consider that they reused the AC engine). And where the hell did you get that 2 million figure, Green Man?

Anyway, I'll buy the epilogue if it has new achievements. :-[

500 k across both platforms is not a bomb? This game was a major release for Ubisoft, sales expectations were in the 2/3 million mark. The dev himself said that sequels depended on the success of the installment. It's the worst selling Ubisoft Prince of Persia by far.

It's a bomb. This ain't the Ps1 days. Next Prince of Persia will be very different.

Just beat PoP on the PS3. I loved this game, and am considering picking up the Epilogue DLC. Did anyone play it?

Yeah, it's worth the money if you enjoyed the main game at all.

It's also on the 360, and he didn't like that version.

There were so many awesome games coming out in that period that a lot of games bombed. 

It seems a lot of publishers/developers eventually realised why their sales for some games were low in that period (duh), and if so they may stick to the formula but release at a better time.

Actually, another model I'm waiting to encounter is including a portion of the game as DLC with a one-time unlock code that ships in the game. Maybe stick 20% of the gameplay in there, and it's only accessible to people who purchased the game new. Imagine if Rock Band 2's free 20 tracks were the hard-hitters like The Who and Red Hot Chili Peppers and Metallica instead of local Boston bands and other up-and-comers. People would have been falling over themselves to buy it new.
