Alien Isolation is overtracked, at this point its probably just over 1m.  Tbh I have a hard time believing this sold so much, I'd guess its overtracked, but that's a guess based on ntn.

Remember that VGC numbers are always estimations only, not outright facts. That goes for each of the games mentioned in the OP.

Media agrees with vgchartz it seems

"Bethesda have not announced sales figures for The Evil Within, so one can only guess as to how much the game actually sold."

I think its amazing how such a small studio with a unknown publisher just sells 3.3 million games. I hope capcom will look at these numbers and make their resi game similiar, survival horror is profitable now.


Those bolded bits are pretty funny.  We could argue the toss about the size of the studio, but I don't think ~ 65 employees is small.

Publisher though... they're part of Zenimax Group and the game was published by Bethesda.  That's anything but an unknown publisher; it's one of the most recognised publishers in the business.

65 employees isnt much, compare that to 300 on average ubisoft and ea game. And yes i was mistaken about the publisher being unknown but bethesda brings out quite view titles every 2 years so i cant blame me.

Seems they give a lot of time and trust to their devolopers which is good.

How did you deduce that from that article?

1. The game is, no doubt, heavily overtracked here.

2. RE6 sold 6.1M copies. No chance TEW surpasses that.

Alien isolation is going to have a nice bump in sales now though, it's 25 euro's on PSN now.

Resident Evil 6 sold 6.1 million copies. Never treat Vgchartz numbers as fact.

Well deserved, enjoyed the game as enjoyed RE4.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it's overtracked. Seems a bit high.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!
