Kinda late to the party, but its great that we have numbers!Thank you very much Aqua!

And I do hope you start feeling confortable sharing the numbers and interacting with the users and forums here.Im not really one to say how forums should work or how they are in general, because this one is my first and only(at least for now) one that I take part in, but ever since I got in, the community has been very kind and engaging.They dont usually jump to conclusions and always try to argument their way about the topic, and even if they dont agree on something, it almost never ends on a fight.So I really hope you feel confortable here, and I hope that I and the rest of the users here see you in the forums more often!

To the topic at hand, DOOM has sold very well.Much better than I expected.And uncharted did very much as I expected, especially since we already had numbers sold worldwide for the first week.A bit sad about battleborne, since its probably going downhill from now, but its simply hard to compete against a blizzard game.

I poured my heart and soul into NeoGAF for three years of my life....just to get dumped unceremoniously like a piece of worthless trash.

And even when I got my friend and contact from The NPD Group to help them out because for whatever reason I'm no longer welcome at NeoGAF (I set up an account for him)....they just call him "an alt" and ban him after three months like he's a complete nobody.

 

It's not that there's anything wrong with this community....it's just a matter of me getting depressed and reticent about communities and forums after how I've been treated over there.

Yeah, the internet can be a hard place sometimes.I have the impression that Neogaf thinks it is the prodigy son.Since it has many leakers and developers, and sometimes are even quoted by important sites, such as IGN, they feel like they are the most important persons on the gaming industry, and that can lead to many arrogant actions.

But I do hope that you eventually get over this unfortunate episode.Trust is something thats hard to build, but easy to destroy.Just see it as starting anew here.Thats what I would do at least.And hey, you cant go worst than Spurge telling his real life adventures here.So I guess you will do good.Plus you are feeding us with the preeeeeciousssssss and delicious numbers.Mods will need to go through me before they lay a finger on you!!!!!!

Now that I have estabilished myself as such a nice guy, would you know lifetime sales for XCX on US?Still new to all this(even though im here for one year XD), but Im always curious to know how that game is doing.If you dont have acess to that information, its more than fine!
