Forums - Microsoft - Quantum Break Enjoys A Successful Launch Week In The UK As The #1 Game Across All Platforms

Also selling less then the Order doesn't necessarily say bad news. Some might need to look at the long term. Remember when Forza 6 was considered a flop in the UK because it didn't make numbers similar to Forza 5? Now Forza 6 is on its way to outselling Driveclub.

I think there's a good chance QB will be fine, but Forza 6 maybe outselling Driveclub is not a win for them. Selling less copies in 10 weeks than Forza 2 did in 6 weeks on a smaller userbase and with a stagered launch? Not to mention selling less than the poorest reviewed Forza game?

 

Quantum Break is fine. Forza needs help.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Why a comparison with another game is seen as a downplay?

Being number one doesnt tell the whole story, also we are at a videogame sales site.

Ive said in numerous times that Remedy is one of my favorite studios ever, and the main reason why i bought an Xbox One.

Im one of the few that still believes that exclusives do sell systems and are the main reason to purchase consoles.

You can like thé game, congrat the good dev Remedy and at thé same time say this wont sell well in your analysis ( which seem to be thé case , at least for UK ), selling less than The Order in Uk doesnt mean anything about the quality of the game, it's just à sales comparison, not à quality comparison.

When the 1st and 3rd comment are quickly about how it's not a great achievement, was due to bundles, and will likely flop, that is just sad. There is a time and place for this, but not immediately after celebrating something. Have some decency please.

To celebrate what? That one of the most anticipated exclusive (consoles) for the xbox one sold less than the order in it's first week? I just can't see the game having great succes or even good succes (sadly).

the pc port is bad like really bad, the xbox one doesn't have that many markets for a game to sell well besides the usa and uk and if this game didn't reach 30000 units in the uk how much do you think it reached in japan? france? germany? and the rest of asia or europe for example?

and last thing this game didn't quite set the critics on fire either so you can't really push the game as this highly acclaimed game, I was shocked after seeing the reviews because I thought this game would reach a metacritc score of 90+ :/



Were just talking about sales in a sales thread, i dont really see thé problem



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

^^^You are missing the point

@Norm yup QB is doing ok and so is Forza 6.

@Sprash there shouldn't be anything wrong with this thread, QB deserves the success.
