It's just a very educated guesstimation from probably over a hundred kind of anecdotal, kinda circumstancial sources. Remember, vgchartz has the most trouble tracking (or predicting) low selling and niche games. I predict they'll adjust these numbers. I mean outlawauron said there were about 22-23k on the leaderboards and vgchartz is reporting about 92k sold on ps3. I don't believe that on ps3 where everyone is basically online out of the box, only about 25% of BlazBlue owners have gone online and played a ranked match? Sounds off to me. Same goes for 360. On 360 to a less extent because not everyone has a gold subscription but idk if 56k people that aren't gold subscribers would purchase blazblue without the intention of buying a gold subcription very very soon there after. |
Well, you have to consider many factors rather than just a raw userbase. Japanese players are far less likely to play an online, due to online console gaming that still hasn't taken off there. So we can't expect many at all to play from there. (Whenever Warhawk released in Japan over PSN only, it sold 8,000 first week making it the most downloaded item on the PSN store. That's terrible)
I wouldn't be surprised if half hadn't played it online. We'll see what's up.
