Damn GOW owns this genre. Too bad GOS will only sell about 500k though.


you don't think it will do aswell then,why is that,

can't it hit a 1m,it does seem to be strong in america


PSP is dead in the west and GOW is a non factor in Japan.

Non-factor ? GoW III sold 110k in Japan. Thats a pretty good achievement for a Western game in the small JP market.

Given the PSP's popularity there, I believe it can hit a similar sales range. Americas should get around 100k first week, maybe 50k in others....

Around a 175k launch week and 700k lifetime is doable imo.

Wishful thinking, 120k first week, 500k lifetime.

GOW COO sold 40k in Japan btw.

I know its mostly a console site but come on...

I've updated the table with most of the games in the thread,i know people differ about what is H&S but we all know what we mean with hack slash button bash,

I decided to put games in that were not fully tracked so you can see for yourself where they are,quite a lot of them are like this but i can only use the numbers we have and you can probably guess what is not tracked in each region by the numbers,its also games for the current gen and they need a certain amount of sales,

Let me know if there are other games that should be in or out as i'm no expert,someone mentioned muramasa the demon blade and SW TFU,shall i put them in with any others,

There are probably mistakes as i'm sure you can imagine it's a colossal pain in the arse to make tables like these but i hope you enjoy it and if i have to look at another dynasty warriors the laptop is going to get the hammer

 

Muramasa is a side scroller action game, TFU is also an action game. Do whatever you want, but I believe the thread refers to a sub-genre in the action genre.



yes well that's why i left them out,almost everything is an action gam,i think most people know what is mean't with console H&S as you say a sub-genre

i have hardly any idea about the japanese games so just include them

maybe i'm out of touch but i think ghosts of sparta might hit 1m,psp is going to have pricecuts after all and it is a strong franchise

Neat table. Nice work.

Chains of Olympus has sold 300k just in 2010.  Ghost of Sparta probably won't reach CoO's lifetime sales, but it'll blow past 500k.

Kingdom Hearts has done about 500k in the eight weeks since it released in Europe and America, despite the PSP being "dead in the west".

You should add a total (s) bar at the bottom of the list so we can see which console sold the most H&S games.

Sengoku Basara:Samurai Warriors   410,951     119,402     530,353

It's actually called Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes.

Great table by the way! Nice work.
