Critics tear up Superman Returns: The Videogame, shares drop

Superman Returns: The Videogame (Xbox 360), -2.98 DKP (-5.84%), shares declined to 48.02 DKP (forecasts 480,200 copies sold worldwide) today after critics tore up Electronic Arts Inc's interpretation of the Man of Steel. The decline was large relative to the inactive trading in the stock since the game became listed on the simExchange. Superman Returns: The Videogame (PS2), -3.26 DKP (-3.92%), also declined, falling to 79.97 DKP (forecasts 799,700 copies sold worldwide).

The game's launch in conjunction with the movie's DVD release did not generate much buzz for gamers as their attention has been focused on the PS3 and Wii launches along with other big titles this holiday season like Gears of War. The recent introduction of rival Marvel's Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (Xbox 360), +1.56 DKP (+2.00%), which rose to 79.59 DKP (forecasts 795,900 copies sold worldwide) may have also overshadowed the DC hero's new game.
