comparing install bases doesnt matter the fact the halo 1 anniversary sold 930k in 2 weeks and last of us only sold 800k proves that halo 1 is a better game also gears of war remake would sell tons |
We've already been over this very often on here, but since you're new and apparently very young, I'll explain it again.
1. Comparing install bases doesn't matter, if we're talking about something like 50mil vs. 60mil. If we're talking about 10mil vs. 61mil then it very much matters. And before you point out that some next gen games are already outselling their last gen counterparts, that is because people are not very interested in their 360s and PS3s anymore.
2. What do you consider the best game ever? Is it this? Or is this even close to the top?
| 1 | Wii Sports | Wii | 2006 | Sports | Nintendo | 41.14 | 28.74 | 3.77 | 8.41 | 82.06 |
I don't think so. And that is already enough to disprove the theory that better sales equal better game. Another thing I have forgot in my first post are digital sales, I don't know if it was even possible to download Halo: Anniversary to 360 when it came out, but even if, it was still something way less people did back then. TLOU:R on the other hand is doing terrific digitally with already over 30k PS Store ratings.
3. How much is "tons"? The numbers that TLOU:R is pulling can easily be considered "tons" for a remaster, in fact its already starting to look like it'll have better legs than the last Gears game.
You should really stop trying to downplay TLOU, it's a massive critical and commercial success that has shipped easily over 8 million units by now and is well on its way to do 10 million or more.
Also some advice, I've read some of your posts on this forum and what you're doing here really doesn't fly on vgchartz, change your posting style or simply stop talking about non Xbox related stuff or you won't be here for long.
