You dont have to believe it, japan sales alone are close to half of bayo2 lifetime. vgc has it overtracked. probably 300k-350k sold currently


Nah, nope, still don't buy it, I say it'll sell 1.2M life time, if it gets lucky, worst case I can see it selling 0.7M.


that defeats the purpose of your entire post lol :) 700k-1.2mil is good and nowhere near bayo2 lifetime

And I though we didn't like launch game lacking content, dlc, locked content... Well we can all make mistakes.

Do anyone here think if CoD launched with the same content they would be bombarded with complains, cursing and reviews?

It is because Activision and EA are evil corporations out to steal our money.

This is a case of a charity non-profit friend rationing out portions so we don't choke on everything at once. They are so nice, they deserve a donation.


Owwww right. 3rd party evilness versus Nintendo saintness.

ps4 don't deserve it sales but some games with small budgets and full price deserve 30M sales.

Japan FW sales are 144k for Media Create!
That sell through and digital might be good because of it

Free 2 play is good when your favorite company does it. Till then its the end of the world. I really dont understand.

not when your install base is under 10 million-  No it is not very good for a big 1st party title

If you remove the context of the install base, you can make the case that every game either sold bad or great depending on the agenda you push.  

Console A has a 500 million install base.
Console B has a 10 million install base.

Game on console A sells 1 million units.
Game on console B sells 1 million units.

Which game sold better?


Well they both sold the same however game A may dissapoint the publisher due to not appealing to vast majority off console owners whereas console b game publishers would not expect the game to sell amazing due to limited install base therefore expectations would be lower, cost off devolopment lower etc so therefore game B sells 'better'

 

If that makes sense

So. Splatoon fell short of bloodborne which is a niche genre. Plus Splatoon in a system that has more install base in Japan. Not big sales as many were expecting.

Owwww that. But have any of the platform holders put a 1st party f2p? I don't mind them and played a little of all the ones available to ps4, very good for a f2p.
