| AngryLittleAlchemist said: No they weren't. They were 90% less than Hitman Absolution ... which came out in the 7th generation when digital sales were still onl about 10%-15% of sales, and was the best selling Hitman game ever. A dumb metric if there's ever been one. The Steam player count is better than Hitman 1, with a more consistent player base. Not only that, but: https://www.destructoid.com/hitman-has-passed-13-million-players-504583.phtml Hitman Season 1 went from 2 million in early 2017, to 5 million in late 2017, to 13 million in mid 2018 (it's worth mentioning this metric was before Hitman 2 was announced, so it had nothing to do with an upcoming game bringing hype to the first season). |
Well if things are so rosey then I suspect there would be no rumour of MS buyout and the company would be shouting from the rooftops about sales. They are not and we know its not done that well. So regardless of my mistake... it was 10th in the UK charts which equals about 8 thousand copies at best. OK UK isn't the be all and end all but I think we know its not done well, guess we'll see, if they are brought out then I think we can say Hitman 2 sales didn't help.
