Right, people are just using mediocre games as an example of how online only games do on consoles.
Destiny and Titanfall might be the first great console games that are online only.

quality is subjective for 1, and for 2 hwo about you name some games that were online only on consoles and sold good?

Can you name an online only console shooter that was any good? I mean, guys can throw out games like MAG or SOCOM Confrontation as evidence, but did those games not sell all that great because they were online only, or did they not sell all that great because the games themselves were not all that great? How well do you think games as good as Battlefield or CoD would sell with no SP component? My guess would still be in the millions.
And LOL @ that Xbox list. Yikes. People talked as if MAG sold like trash, so he correctly reminded us that MAG outsold most other Sony games. No need to be so defensive :)

I cant and thats my point, IMHO they have been mediocore at best. Its a combination of being online only and those games not being all that to begin with that leads to just ok sales. THe only game tha seemed to be alright is that DUST game and thats online only so who knows how well its doing.
No, COD wouldnt have reached the heights it did without a strong SP campaign, lets be real here. COD didnt become big till COD4, so it took many entries for it become the juggernaut it is today, and people werent exactly playing the early CODs for strong MP component, they are NOW. BF has always been a PC game and it now has SP modes so that game is kinda moot here.
DOnt know about the lists im still waiting for all the games that sold better than MAG so we can have a real comparison.
