We had the 360 version alone at 1.6 Million. It's overtracked. By a lot. All the other games they mentioned matched our data, while ME2 was hugely overtracked and never changed. There's hundreds of links for it, but I'll just drop one. http://www.examiner.com/video-game-news-in-national/ea-reveals-sales-results-for-army-of-two-the-40th-day-dante-s-inferno-and-mass-effect-2 Resident Evil 4 is a totally different example. It was one of the first high quality games on the Wii, no offence to the Wii, but there wasn't exactly a lot of quality games on the system at the time of RE4 release. It helps that RE also sells amazingly well in all regions, and had a userbase of over 3 Million people who potentially wanted to play it again with a new, hyped up control scheme. It's a totally different comparison due to the time of when the game released. It's also worth noting that you shouldn't judge these games on the openings they have. Judge them on the legs they have. If they really are of high quality, they will have legs. Word of mouth will help them out a lot. Again, 150k in 2 Weeks of being on sale is not bad at all. Not when BioShock opened up to 60k, took 5 Weeks to reach 150k, and finished up at over 800k units. I feel that a ton of them are being quite brainy, and waiting for the price to drop. |
Well I guess that still makes it an opinion about the overtracking, but this isn't an exact science so we can either trust the numbers or not.
It's not totally different, but you pick the points that support your point of view and I pick the ones that support mine. Stalemate.
Let's hope it's just that.
