Is this news? I mean, isn't this supposed to be expected?


A game that first released digitally and gets a physical release weeks later is expected to outsell a massively marketed exclusive which had been released physically before? I don't think so.

come on are you serious???

It almost sounds like you are on a witch hunt.

As we all know. every game does exceptionally well in its first week and drops considerably in its second (with exception to a few games) and the order or evolve is no different. and you are talking as if the digital and physical market are the same thing. There are poeple that will not buy a game digitally no matter what and those that bought it digitally can't trade it in so there will be nothing to fear from used sales. 

This is as good as dying light having its first week of sales and you are comparing it to games that are over two weeks old? notice they have both dropped mostly down the charts... with or without dying light. 

I even find it strange the order was even at number one at all considering its weak reviews.

A bad game selling well, sounds like it's back to business as usual.


Well, it seems that The Order didn't sell *that* good.

It seems like you have some personal enemity with The Order, mentioning it in each and every reply of yours.

Don't be so jealous of PS4 owners, its not good for your health.

It's spelled Dying Light, I forgive you the freudian slip.


Dying Light is not a bad game at all. You should give it a try, as it is easily the best game released in 2015 so far.

I think Dying Light has been having a great word of mouth.

I'd say it's the worse so far. After Evolve I guess.

Nothing surprising as The Order had probably good pre-order numbers which of course take a huge amount of FW sales. And yes, I am serious as we know that digital sales are growing and of course they steal sales when a game releases first digital. So of course it is surprising that it already sold out The Order only by physical copies. If this does not apply to your way of thinking, fine.

Why would I be jealous of PS4 owners? Because of The Order?

Yes, I fully expect a new retail release on the X1, PS4 and PC to outsell an exclusive that came out 3 weeks ago. That despite the fact that a digital version was released because of the high price point of the digital version.

Surprising is the fact that the Xbone-version of a multiplatform-game outsells The Order in 2 consecutive weeks. But I guess it's up to ones personal attitude to see whose achievement is greater here

Well it looks like it, seeing your constant barrage of replies mentioning The Order, even if the original comment had nothing to do with it.

Also on that note, you're love for Driveclub is not hidden either.
