Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Quantum Break Preorders "Well Ahead of Plan," Could Be a "Mega Hit"

April Fool... my god, what a waste of money inves in this game!



In Sony We Trust!

If a year ago, you told me that not only would Until Dawn review better than QB. But it also have a higher attachment rate...I wouldn't believe you.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

So if we stretch, those 150K copies sold in NA in April, could become 400k lifetime with normal pricing, and perhaps 500K with significant price drops.

The rest of the world doesn't get game sales even half of NA on XBox, so that would bring at best another 250K copies.

So in total, with wishful thinking we get 750K. But let's say I underestimated something, and because I want to be generous I'm willing to stretch to 1 million lifetime global sales for Quantum Break (now that must be a real strech when we know about these 150K for April).

That makes me really really sad for Remedy.

I never thought that a game that was showed for 3 E3s in a row, with a segment of the show dedicated to it would perform so badly.



QB seems to be X1s Order unfortunately. It might be a better game but the reviews didn't do it any favors from the looks of things.

Nah, The Order 1886 actually sold quite decently. QB is more comparable to God of War 3 Remastered on PS4 in terms of sales.

XD an extra 30k?

You really have no idea of how digital sales work, do you?

You really have no idea what a joke looks like do you?  Lmao

Anytime Aaron Greenberg says anything on twitter, it should be assumed that he is full of shit.
The exact opposite should be assumed.
I think he tries too hard to paint the best possible picture for Xbox but over compensates and overstates to the point of embarrassment.

A megahit? How does he actually qualify this? By the standards he has set, everything is a megahit.

Well this was his reason...

 

 

 

 

 

I guess. <(') 

 

The retailer insiders on gaf said post launch QB sales plummeted.  So even if he thinks 150k is good the sales curves he based his comment on won't apply.  

 

The thing that disappoints me about QB low sales isn't the fact it was massively hyped up,  but the fact the game actually seems to be decent.  It deserves better sales.
