Forums - Sales Discussion - Alien:Isolation is sadly.... very overtracked ;(

Tagged games:

One of the best horror games I've played in recent years. I'm happy it was both commercial and critical success. 1 million is still a good number, especially after the Colonil Marines damaged the bran's name. I can't wait for a sequel.

Is the game really good though? I heard it was kind of a let down.



VGC has most of their software overtracked as of right now.



Only 1Mil across 5 platforms? What?

I thought 3rd parties only sold bad on WiiU...



Ah there's that good old Vgchartz inaccuracy I'd heard so much about. So this is why its considered a joke of a site.

It's very good, one of the few games that does horror right these days.  It has its problems, like shoe horning in Ripley's until now never mentioned daughter as the main character is at best maudlin, but frankly it just does nothing and falls flat; and on the higher difficulties the alien can admittedly be unfair with its comings and goings but with patience you can always get around it. 

 

Really, Isolation's biggest problem likely isn't it's fault but sega's in that following the shitfest that was colonial marines would sour even the most ardent of alien fans from trusting in their licensed games again.

Yeah i agree colonial marines did some major damage to the franchise. I wonder if it will ever recover.



Bummer. I'll probably be buying it this year, so at least there's that. :)

The game is very, very niche but I am surprised vgchartz overtracked it by so much. I think it must be the PS4 EU versions which is overtracked.

1 Mil is still good. Average price of $59, your looking at close to $55 - 60 mil in sales which must easily covery the budget of this game, even with the 30/40% retailer cut.



Their number probably includes digital sales, which vgchartz does not (if I'm remember correctly) which makes it even worse
