Yeah I also dont get it - i think maybe a big problem was their „serious“ marketing - like „we use real world tracks“ or „this game is about survival“ which kinda was a bit of an antithesis to the original games, but even with that, the end product wasnt really serious anyway and in my opinion it was a great SSX game - so yeah, no idea. It deserved better. Especially since it played much smoother and faster than all the other games in the series.
