Forums - Sales - Soul Calibur 4 sells 2 million worldwide

I feel that between Namco and the numbers here its easy to decide.

Come one guys ,if they had shipped 2 million and had sold only 210K they wouldnt be boasting at all about this.The EU numbers are way off and the US numbers must have been very high too.

2 million shipped or sold it does not matter in the slightest. 2 million shipped = sold to retailers. Retailers get the stock on credit terms and the game manufacturers do not get money until the following month after the games have been sold to consumers.

 

No, NB got its money for shipping 2m copies. Huge discounts coming up?



I rented it and just thought "wow looks like dreamcast"

Really sold thats alot.



 

Remember Devil May Cry 4 shipping 2m in it's first week?

SCIV on X360 is doing pretty well globally. It's the 5th most played title on MGC this week, and was at #4. VERY few games ever get to that spot, and any that do become million sellers. The last game that wasn't one of the major titles (H3, CoD4, GTAIV, GOW, RB) was Battlefield: Bad Company, which has sold 700,000 units in 5 weeks.

I think US sales will show us that SCIV has sold around 200,000-250,000 copies between both platforms.

That would put SCIV at 400,000-450,000 sold through. I wonder how Scamco got retailers to pre-order 2m copies...



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Kotaku says sold, not shipped...

Yeah...

Wow...

How would Namco know how much sold?

Shipped = sold to retailers.

 



Just kiss the tip.


I would not pay full retail price for SC 4. I have read mixed reviews on this game and the 88% average review score for PS3 and 85% average review score for X360 version is meaningless in my books.

The story mode is very weak, is much of the same fighting game adds nothing new to the genre, very thin game if you do not play it online or looking for something new. Basically a last generation game with HD graphics upgraded visuals.

Well selling over a million each on both PS3 and X360 would be an ok achievement. Most popular games are expected to sell one million copies as a bare minimum on each console these days.



Most companies report sold to retail as shipped.
