DerNebel said: So it was more frontloaded than Gears, big whoop, also hey US =/= the world, in case you forgot. And if you don't believe me about the frontloaded part just compare December 2006 NPD and April 2014. I'd link you vgchartz numbers but I have a feeling that you wouldn't believe them anyway. |
So TF did another 300K in a month where increases are slight and Gears did 800k in a month where hardware sales double? 1.5M vs 1.8m isn't even worth discussing. And no, what value have VGC? it's all made up anyway
| DerNebel said: Also how that Sony comparison is in any way relevant is beyond me, but GoW3 sold 1.1 million in the US its first month. |
Hence why it's less than TF 1.2M first month. It's somewhat relevant.

And Rare Replay is #19 next to PS4's COD: BLOPS 3....it's almost like there's no discernable pattern. Yeah, it's pretty obvious FO is going to outsell RotTR, it's no indicator of how RotTR will sell. I'm pretty sure CoD4 and Halo 3 destroyed Assassins Creed in 2007 as well, and that did 7M on 360.

Not for this holiday. It's certainly got greater presence at E3 than the next assassins creed. It's pretty much just Halo, CoD, Fallout and RotTR this year.
| sasquatchmontana said: You don't know Titanfall PC numbers, period. They will mainly be digital and the split between them and X1 numbers is certainly not 9 to 1, logic dictates as much. |
Uh, if you're going by Digital as well, Xbox One (if it's at all like WiiU) attributes 20-25% of its sales as digital too, which wasn't tracked at the time.
| sasquatchmontana said: And I don't know why you want me to look for such a game, cause I certainly never said that Titanfall sold as much on PC as it did on X1. But just for the fun of it, do you wanna know about a 5 million+ game that sold more on PC than Xbox? Here, you go it's called Tomb Raider: |
I said console, not Xbox. It just happens in this instance, for RotTR, 97% of the console market for that game is Xbox One and 3% 360. The console version of games has been bossing PC versions sales since CoD 2 and Oblivion. Also 2.2M? If the series was at 6M in March 2014, then the PC version either has only sold 200k in a year and a half, or the Console versions were over 2.5M at the time.
You say 6M is outlandish for 12 months, despite the underperforming TR 2013 selling the same without a holiday launch and yet the One has exclusive games (TMCC or Titanfall, there's plenty of examples on 360 too) that have outsold cross platform titles by significant margins.
