I've been saying that as well, and it turns out I was right.

Also, the title says 600K, but it seems it's closer to 500K.

Possibly even lower. I wonder what would make someone would buy this game digitally. With no way to trade it in you're pretty much just throwing money away 


I can get you the review numbers as I bought it digitally from the USA store.  Will give an idea of sales.

Yeah, more like 400k max. Legs will be horrible too (unless it gets bundels which it inevitably will)

Mediocre sales for a medicore game.


400k Max? Really? You can't be serious. Is this real life? lol

as in about 400k first 2 days, not 600k.

it was overtracked 100k in the US if Im not mistaken... most of that would be first few days. 

Says who? Proof?

If anything the game is under-tracked and that 559,000 VGC total naturally doesn't even include digital sales. And before you harp that it was #4 on digital it was only out for 8 days the whole month. Evolve and Dying Light the whole month and Dragon Ball Z won't come close to selling 500,000 first week so it's spot at number 3 is obviously due to die hard DBZ fans. 

NPD is proof enough.

What official NPD numbers do you have to confirm the Order only sold 400k first week?

The Order sold similar to MH4U in the US for the month February (290k copies). This is including digital for MH4U, so The Order is probably lower than that number.

No need considering I didn't ask. Its lower than Dying Light, Evolve and Dragonball Z on the digital sales list according to a recent thread. And DBZ came out on the 24th.

2 Things:

1) What would that have to do with WORLDWIDE TOTALS being at least 550k?! 

2) That statement is not official numbers this not proof of anything. Proof what you're saying with something documented.

Well, I'm sure all those people who were disappointed by Destiny, Watch Dogs, AC Unity, and the likes will be happy to know that they were actually playing great games after all since they sold well

DBZ won't come close to the over 600,000k the Order sold in its first week in PHYSICAL copies though. It's digital ranking is clearly from die hard Dragon Ball Z fans. Comparison is moot.

Nintendo said MH4U sold 290k copies in the US (retail + digital).

MH4U is #10 in the NPD ranking while The Order is #9. NPD doesn't track digital sales usually, so The Order sold less than 290k in the US for the month February. It's overtracked in the US on vgchartz or the game has no legs at all.

No, the Order didn't. Its overtracked.
