Forums - Sales Discussion - Any news/predictions on Diablo III PS360 sales??

Tagged games:

So Diablo III sold a ton of copies last year on PC and this year it has hit the consoles... Despite the bad rep the game got on PC, the reviews have been really good on consoles rating them as "definitive version of D3".

I got the game as a gift from a friend and we are having a blast playing it coop on PS3, and I've seen quite a few players in my list with this game (and I can confirm the conversion went really, really well! - amazing graphics and controls). Also, Diablo III is on top position of recently played games at PSNProfiles.com (site that tracks trophies), which means a significant number of players have the game now.

So, do we have any numbers for Diablo III PS3 and 360?

How many copies you guys think it sold first week, and any predictions for LT sales?



Around the Network

It'll do decently week 1, prolly 100k-150k for each platform, but I think DIII would have been better served coming out this past spring or early summer, rather than now as the fall approaches and the release schedule kicks into high gear with GTAV next week, and then of course the impeding launches of XB1 and PS4.

It's likely this game may fall by the wayside by the time September is over, but if there's a good deal around Black Friday week I just might pick it up.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

I'd say slightly over 100k on PS3 and similar on X360.

Liftime around 1 million combined on PS360.

How would that compare to PC sales? Not very good, right?

Btw, this coming to PS4?



Played it with a friend yesterday. It was fun, but not really special (AAA worthy). IMO not a huge step up from games like Dungeon Siege III (which I liked and finished). Still a decent time waster though.

Retail-wise they wouldn't be thaaat far behind, but with digital sales and a considerable amount of copies that were sent out for free for WoW members who bought an annual pass, the comparison would favour the PC version by far.

it will sell pretty good if they throw as many tv ads on you as on me here. especially for ps3 with the "exclusive on ps3" ads but not really a clue how much it will sell...



As of December 2012 it sold 12 million copies. It was set out with WoW annual pass.

I think I read somewhere it's sold 14 million copies, but I don't care to look. Still I think it will sell 2 million combined total Lifetime on consoles. Maybe I'm wrong.

Does it have any "One more turn"-magic? (not that it is turn based)

I'm craving for a game that will draw me deep within it to mess around with lots of stats and items. And I want it to be addictive.

Was Dungeon Siege 3 like that? (started it and cleared the first house but can't remember much)

According to Blizzard, back in May 2013 Diablo III PC had 14.5 million unique players. Guess that means 14.5 million copies? :P

Yes it is coming to PS4 (maybe the Bone too).

Also, looking at some numbers from PSNProfiles and VChartz:

PSNProfiles lists 590K owners for COD Blops, 13K onwers for Diablo III.

If VGChartz lists 12M sold for Blops, then if the proportions match, we have 264K sales for Diablo III PS3. :P
