We only know so far that least on steam it sold/was downloaded 1,2 million times or something. It means only 10% of the sales were on pc if its true


its higher than 10 percent because this is sold in, while PC is sold through. im expecting a massive number of units shipped, and sell through to not be as close. but it will continue to sell through out the holiday. they probably shipped enough to cover them up until black friday. 

From a publisher's perspective, shipped = sold.

I remember when Fallout was a relatively niche PC series before Fallout 3. Same with Elder Scrolls. Bethesda sure knows how to make IP's appealing to mass audiences.

Yeah, and some things are better left that way.

Ditto

OT: Good sales all around though, now it's only a matter of time before some "curirous" (that seems to be the scapegoat these days) folk decide to break things down to pit one against the other and who the supposed winrar is despite the game being fun and gamers having fun with it.



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

WOW!

I just bought the $40 collector's edition "Survival Guide", and I am not even a Fallout Fan(never played before 4). Played the Vault app and got interested. Day 1 buyer .



It is near the end of the end....

Awesome :D

Truly Open world is taking over, though its still a shooter as well.


Because of opinions like this someone will feel like completing the game without shooting anyone.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

If it was on the Wii u it would have sold 12.1 million! Such a wasted opportunity...

If it was on WiiU, i would imagine the game looking more last gen on all platforms as a insurance to make the game be able to run on a hardware weak enough as WiiU at 30fps. So i don't understand why you wish a WiiU version... I would rather buy a Pc or a Xb1/Ps4 for the game even if they made a versjon for WiiU.

The game should rightfully be GotY just by the virtue of its launch and marketing. They did this without a true ad campaign and without overhyping it. They just gave us a decent bit of info on improvements once, then went silent until launch. That's most impressive to me, that they can approach records without a big marketing push.

The game also deserves GotY because of its quality; they delivered another superb Bethesda experience, but very surprisingly without the millions of bugs. At least in the experiences I've seen and my own playing experience, this game is miles better in that regard than any Bethsoft game before it.



You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt!  I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading.  After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!

I see they aren't claiming biggest entertainment launch of 2015. So does that mean CoD's $550 million was all sell through and that FO4 sell through didn't quite reach that?
