Firstly, are you going by the first month or week sales? Because MAG, SOCOM and Warhawk did 1 mil. Modnation is 70k away from it.


He's talking about Europe only.

Yeah he told me. Pointless thread.

Tbh i didn't even know the game was out yet. I will probably get it eventually though as i always found Twisted Metal fun when i was little. The problem is with most exclusives today (except for the really good ones like Uncharted) that they are not better than the multi platform games, which there are a lot of now. So we don't have enough money to get all games.

I heard it sold 400k through digital distribution in Europe.

I heard you took a good beating in a fight yesterday, so it's understandable that you still can't think straight today.


Oh. My. God. Win.

This would carry more weight if the best selling twisted metal had managed to scrape up more than 250k sales in Europe.

Wait a minute, whats this? Rol thread? Carry on everybody.

I'm not surprised, a delayed and censored game that has little-to-none advertising and a franchise that has historically not sold well in Europe.

http://www.vgchartz.com/gamedb/?name=twisted+metal&publisher=&platform=&genre=&minSales=0&results=200

According to these numbers, the biggest game in the series Twisted Metal 2, 2.44 million overall sales, 2.12m of those were from North America and only 250k from Europe.

That means that only 10.2% of sales came from Europe for TM2.

Safe to say Sony is d00med. Feels good to get that title from Nintendo. Lot of hard work and persistence but it is starting to pay off. Time to party.

Wrong as usual, Rol. There was over a month between the North American and European release, so all the Europeans imported their copies from America. So Twisted Metal wasn't a major flop in Europe, it was a major flop in America.
