KOTOR sold 7 million copies? No way.

According to vgchartz, it is around 2.2 million on xbox.

All it has lacked in recent years is quality in it's gaming side.


Can't forget that most of the Star Wars games have been stellar, like the KOTOR, X-Wing, Rogue Squadron and Jedi Knight series.

Star Wars games have made a mark on the video game industry that is simply unmatched for licensed games.

You forgot the Star Wars Battlefront series!



Force Unleashed sold 8-9 Million.

The LEGO Star Wars games have sold close to 35 Million units.

There is demand for Star Wars games if the games are good. I cant wait to see what DICE can do!

Yep, and the KOTOR lifetime sales incl. the PC version were probably around 3 million, 3.5 million at best (though I even doubt VGC's 2.2 million on Xbox), but hey it's Pachter, and he dooms whole companies and doubles the sales figures of a game whenever he wants. The main problem I see with this guy is not that he's outright lying and spreading misinformation all the time, but that the so-called gaming media never correct him.

Sorry, there have been simply too many great Star Wars games to mention them all in one breath. I even loved playing Rebel Assault, Shadows of the Empire and (gasp!) Yoda Stories.



Pachter post = bug zapper... me = bug.

Why do I keep coming into these posts?



Pachter just assumes nobody was turned into a Star Wars fan after the initial batch in 1977 for some reason.

And lol 7 million Kotor sales. I wish that were true, the game's brilliant.



just because disney is making all these star wars movies,people automatically think there will be a big demand for it. I find this laughable at best. Disney is'nt what they used 2 be. They've had some decent animation movies,but there live action stuff is more of a miss,most of the time. I personally think star wars is far,far past it's prime. It's like beating a dead horse,that died 10 yrs ago.



Ummm... has Pach not seen the sales of the Lego Star Wars games recently??? Battlefront 3 or KOTOR 3 on next-gen systems will be a huge smash.

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.
