Does Shadow Of Mordor being at number 10 means the PS4 bundle is at 10 then? I assume Amazon is counting every PS4 sold with the game as a sale.


Amazon does not. They only count it if you can choose from a selection of games. I'm sure the $30 price which was on multiple deal sites recently boosted sales. If you check the Xbox One version is also on the movers and shakers list, it just doesn't sell as well.

I saw this on /v/:

not a good sign right? i mean,i know that on pc people usually don't buy games for $60(specially a dlc fest like this) but isn't this low even for PC standards?

Plus any console version of the game crossed top 10 hourly on amazon yet....


I hope this game fails because the dlc business practices are disgusting.

The entire gaming community should ensure it fails.  Or else many games will go that way

Seems like Evolve has peaked in the Amazon chart and will slowly drift lower. This should be fairly typical because the vast majority of games get the bulk of their first week sales through pre-orders.

I hope the order cracks into the top 5, if not then at least to top 10. MH4 and MM should perform similar to other game releases and drop down the rankings after launch, and that should allow The Order to move up a few places in its final week before release. Add that to a natural rise in rankings as the final week approaches should get it into the top 10 at least for a day or so.

The Order has overtaken the Xbox One. Now things get interesting. Can the order take the PS4 by launch, or will the Order only drive PS4 sales higher?

Wondering if anyone at Neogaf has pointed out the 100% record of Amazon at predicting NPD's winner since December 2013.

I just can't figure out if the order is going to sell well, on one hand all the negative press this game gets you'd think that it was going to bomb but then again

the game seems to have genuine hype on forums and millions of hits on YouTube, when all is said and done I think this game will sell around 3 mil lifetime

It's morphing into Bizarro-Evolve.

I find it funny that The Order is doing better than Evolve even though today is Evolve's launch. And my god, the user reviews aren't looking good at all.


Two things:

First - Having played the game, I find it disheartening tha the critic reiews aren't looking anything like actual user reviews.  In other words, who are they game sites writing these reviews for and why don't they match the expectations of their reiders?

Second - Yes, it is quite amazing to see The Order toping Evolve on its launch day.

That's because the user reviewers clearly have an anti-DLC agenda, for better or for worse, whereas the reviewers only care about if the game is any good. Even looking at some of the user reviews on Steam, a number of people who gave the game a thumbs down admit that the gameplay's quite good and they only rate it poorly because of DLC.

Either way, it's gone u pquite a bit in number of players compared to earlier when the peak was in the 7k's. There are currently 17k+ people playing it with today's peak being 27801.

Also, XBOne back above The Order, Evolve PS4 dropped significantly to #29, XBOne version holding up better at #22.
