BioShock franchise isn’t dead even after Irrational closure and underwhelming Infinite sales

Irrational Games spent five years making BioShock Infinite.

That’s a lot of time and money to spend on one project, and it likely put a lot of pressure on the studio to sell a ton of copies. As 2013 came to an end, however, the physical version of BioShock Infinite didn’t make the top-10 best-selling games of the year, according to the NPD Group. In fact, the disc version of Minecraft for Xbox 360 (which was a year-old port of a more than 2-year-old game) outsold the physical release of BioShock Infinite for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 combined.
