Forums - Sales Discussion - The Million Sellers Club of 2011

Seece said:

I don't get the counting here

Games that havn't sold 1 million IN 2011 count, games released in 2010 that sell 1 mill in 2011 count ...

... Seems silly to combine both IMO. Either do games that pass 1 mill units sold exclusively in 2011 or games that pass the 1 mill mark LTD ..

Hm? All in all, I'm just counting games that are added to each console's million sellers list, regardless of when the game was released. As long as the game hit the million point in 2011, it will be added to the list. So I will be adding LBP2 once it hits a million (shouldn't be too far away), as well as a game like Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 (which came out 2009), since both will finally sell over a million units this year.

The wording is confusing. But all I'm doing is keeping track of how many games are being added to each console's list of games that have sold over 1,000,000. Just dividing it up into years (and a sort of competition).

@Zultar

Thanks for that correction! Yeah... this was pretty much a copy/paste from the 2010 version haha. Seems I didn't change all of the 2010's.

How does the PS3 have 1 one million seller already when you show the highest PS3 game to be Black Ops at around a quarter of a million?

I wonder who will have more million sellers.... I mean, wii has apparently few games....

Didn't it last year as well though? Who expected Epic Mickey to be a million-seller in such a short space?

Also, a lot of games are near it (Black Ops, Goldeneye, others), many will pass it (Tiger Woods, Fifa) and new games will blitz it (Zelda, Last Story etc.)

So I think it'll be between wii and PS3 again. If Microsoft are focusing on Kinect...

...maybe this game was at 999,999 at the start of 2011?

That way it only has to have 1 sale to be a million-seller

I don't see why. Maybe you should elaborate on your points?

All I see is a thread from someone who did the exact same thing last year, looking for it to be as successful again this year. However, since we're only 2 weeks into the year, it makes this task very difficult...

So, what gives?

the ps3 doesnt have a million seller in 2011 yet he counted one.

its really confusing and its a misleading thread title.

I think by "million seller" he means the games which passed the Million mark this year, so that game would count as one

For example, last year, Monster Hunter Tri was counted, even though it sold only 700,000 (ish) copies in 2010. But since it satrted the year on 900,000, it passed it in 2010, hence it was counted in 2010. 

Many games on this list, and previous lists, haven't actually sold 1,000,000 in that calender year. If they did the year before, they also wouldn't be counted.

Get it?

People suddenly don't remember the rules for this thread ?
