| DélioPT said: There really is more 3rd party competition this time around. Yet, the clear winners will be ZombiU and Bo2. Both not selling millions right away is only natural. Actually the same thing will happen to the next CoD game on PS4 and 720 being that there won`t be enough consoles by then aswell. |
Just thought I'd back up that observation.
CoD3 on PS3 in the US sold just 12,298 copies in its first week, and another 13,071 copies in its second week. By the end of 2006, it managed 113,977... and went on to sell 1.36 million copies worldwide, including 481,507 in the US to date.
By comparison, on the Wii, it sold 43,534 copies in its first week and another 21,483 in its second week. By the end of 2006, it sold 156,095 copies, and sold 2.16 million copies worldwide, including 1,033,521 in the US to date.
It doesn't matter what console it is, you expect weak launch sales for games that release with the system, relatively speaking. It would be interesting, by the way, to look at the correlations between launch date, launch sales, and total sales.
