Forums - Sales Discussion - Did Fallout 3 flop?

I just saw a thread about how 500k week 1 for R2 in just NA was a flop

well, if we compare, Fallout 3 sold roughly 1 million week 1 across 3 platforms and it was being sold in every region (except japan I think)

anyways, do people consider that a flop? I'm not trying to defend R2, I'm just using it for comparison



Around the Network

no.



no both r2 and fallout 3 weren't flops
500k on a single console in NA 1 week is good
and fallout 3 breaking a million is good



4.3 million shipped first week is what I think Bethesda said. Hardly a flop haha.



Resistance 2 didn't flop. Without a lot of investigation, I'd say it did below expectations, but not flopped.

Fallout 3 shipped 4.7M copies. That's probably over 300M dollars in revenue. That's about as high as most major blockbuster movies do. I'm not sure if any other game, save for Grand Theft Auto, has had an initial shipment of more than that this generation.

Around the Network

they all sold considerably good.

r2, lbp and fall out 3.

anyover 500k in a single territory it's a success.



Fallout 3 did not flop, it sold a lot on first week and will propably sell a lot more in upcoming weeks. :p

After counting EU resistance 2 should easily be the 3rd best selling launch Ps3 game....hardly a flop



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Fallout 3 sold well. It's also very hard to track PC sales.

With 4.3 million copies sold to retail, it's already a huge hit.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

It's also sold on steam, fyi. I don't think VGC could track those tremendous sales.
