I think it's more than that if you include digital. If I had to guess, it's probably closer to 150K first week.

I get the feeling it sold a good amount digitally.

There's other ways the game can get exposure. It is a good candidate for being a XBL Gold game.

Well, that certainly goes against Phill Spencer narrative of good sales.

It's his job to say that everything goes well even when it is defininitely not. If this game had great sales I doubt they would have released 30 min demo for it.

Recore has a few  good ideas but gameplay wise is just mediocre. Not shocking results. Microsoft didn't put much into marketing because they realized it was not of high enough quality

Except that bugs in a game the size of bethesda one are quite different from this one and the ignoring the bugs are more due to the love they have for the content, which doesn't see to have happened on this

Most of the issues with this game seem to have been resolved. Ive only ran into 1 bug thus far and I'm halfway through the game. 

If i'm not wrong we have had several discussions about this on VGC and the consensus is that the scores must be given at the time of release and not changed. So if they were able to correct most issues so fast they should've instead delayed the game a little and delivered a better game.

Get the feeling this was a case of poor VGC tracking. 53k doesn't seem to match with what I saw on the various Amazon charts. For instance ReCore made it up to #3 on Amazon France before release and VGC claims it only sold 2.8k there...

You do know that Amazon is very poor predictor of sales of sw right?

Yes, it's... but there are people that pretend that he is very honest and etc.

New exclusive ips that review badly consistently underperform. And even some that review well don't do the best.

Just look at Order 1886, Wonderful 101, ZombiU, etc.

I think the developer no longer has the credibility that he used to. The whole mighty number 9 etc has affected this game too.



amdboomer on 10 October 2016

I'm enjoying the game. I wonder what digital sales were. I bought it digitally just so I could have the Win10 version to play in 4K.



Mr Puggsly on 10 October 2016

No hype and MS clearly didnt have much faith in the game to give it a push.

I'm sure it sold considerably better when digital sales and PC sales are added. Maybe legs will be solid after patches improve the experience.

Anywho, not all games do great.
