I am more suprised at Minecraft´s continued success :).


I think this is pretty much a given now. Game sells like hot cakes and nothing can stop it, it seems.


My bad. Now I'm sad that Minecraft is still selling that much.

Why are you sad about this?

^ I don't know, I guess I've never understood what makes it so great.

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.

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

Yeah, of course - The Order was released 1 week ahead of Dying Light.

Also got to remember digital is more expensive in the UK than physical.

This is sad but didn't stop the game being ranked high in the digital sales chart.

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


Redundancies? Barkruptcies? Same as usual. 



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
