Abe's Sales Slip by Joe McCloud - posted 12/11/1997 Considering I'm such a huge fan of GT Interactive's game Abe's Oddysee, you can imagine that when I learned of its position in a recent NPD Group Inc. report, I became as depressed as Kenny and Bobbi McCaughey are going to be when everyone stops giving them free stuff. Dispite the big bucks GT shelled out to promote Abe, the title slipped from its number 16 position during the first two weeks of October to just beyond the top 20 mark ranking in at 22 at the end of October. One analyst has calculated that between the $10m GT spent on promotion and the $2.5m-$3m for development, they would need to sell a 500,000-600,000 units just to break even! So far Abe has made his way into about 60,000 homes. pcgames.com Coy
