Congrats Remedy and Microsoft. It's a great game.
To the downplayer. OP only says "doing well" and "being successful" which it is. It is #1 and it is dominating the charts.
Granted, we don't know the actual sales numbers yet but that just makes it even worse to claim that it "flopped".

Quantum Break was the best selling game title in the UK last week. https://t.co/qaetejj3EW

Sorry but dominating thé chart by doing more than 15k ( the sales of the number 2 )isnt enough to call anything a success.
Please try to think a bit before using hyperbolic words like success or even doing well when you dont know anything about the sales of the game.
I dont say it's not à success, but it could be à success like it could be à flop, thats all.
The only thing we know is that the number 2 did 15k, so QB did more than 15k, thats all.
Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:
PS4: 17m XB1: 10m WiiU: 10m Vita: 10m

So i was right, so much for this hyperbolic statement based on thé top. From what wr know it could be 35k like it could be 16k and still be number one.
Lets wait for thé sales number now.

It's great that it was #1, but Aerys does have a point. We have no idea how well it sold.
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.
| Aerys said: Being number one in an empty week like that is not réally an achievement big enough to talk about à successful launch. I think thé game flopped and will struggle to even reach one million in à month. |
Its possible the game will flop, it looks like a risky project.
However, Alan Wake was profitable in spite of selling just over 500k in 10 weeks. Depends on the budget but I get the impression Remedy does good work with a smaller budget than many studios
Anyhow, somebody at MS claimed pre orders were great so maybe it will have a solid start.

The game doesn't have a multiplayer, so that would drive down costs. But it also has a pretty notable cast, and was in development for way longer than it was supposed to be.

I'm glad to say the game exceeded my expectations. Good story, good graphics, and I enjoying the gameplay much more than I expected.
I'm playing through it a decond time to see other story choices, grab the cronon I missed, etc. No regrets buying this game.
