Forums - Sales - UK charts: Max Payne 3 (PS3+X360) pips Diablo III to number one

Claymore on 21 May 2012

Boxed retail PC game sales are next to non existent in the UK now and only in total made £700k in sales last year which is just over one million dollars, so it's not really a surprise a multi-platform console game charts over it.

Yes diablo 3 outsold Max Payne 3 with digital sales, but it is still pretty amazing that max payne 3 outsold diablo 3 in retail. Yes, yes, plenty of people bought the digital copy, but plenty bought the physical copy as well. Blizzard allowed you to predownload the game even if you bought the physical copy, and you just had to type your cd key once you got the actual game and plenty of people enjoy attending midnight releases for very hyped games. Regardless of what we may predict digital sales are, it is unarguably very impressive how well max payne did week 1, at least in the UK. Heck it even beat Mass Effect 3, but I suspect thats mostly because of how bad mass effect 3 sales were on the ps3.

It's not like Max Payne 3 wasn't hyped as well, and this is the UK we are talking about. Diablo will rape Max Payne 3 WW

Now that blizzard has announced Diablo 3 is the fastest selling PC game of all time, we have proven without a doubt how pointless a sales chart is thats only retail.

Oh yeah and that DOES NOT even include the 1.2million copies they gave away with WOW subs. 


Digital sales are massive people.

The difference is that who bought MP3 is enjoying it, D3 players instead.. are just cursing?

Anyway, if the concept of hack 'n slash fun for PC players is keeping clicking a mouse they shouldn't wonder if many of us consider classic PC gaming as retarded.

Lol, what a great comment. This community needs a wake up call, PC gaming is alive and kicking and some people are just too damn ignorant to get it.


Alive and kicking? We'll see next August, when Dark Souls for PC will be available after the huge cry from PC gamers. On PS3 it sold more than 1 million. How much is it going to sell on PC? 250K? In the Facebook page 80-90% of people already stated that they are going to pirate it because it will be on Game For Windows Live. This is the PC gaming community to you.

Oh, and sorry moderators if I defined classic PC gaming as "retarded". I meant to say that any game where one just clicks-clicks-clicks-clicks is extremely SHALLOW. Better now?
