Big success for Fallout 3

In just one week, Fallout 3 has already sold 4.7 million copies in Europe and the USA, its release date is set to Japanese on December 4. A very great success for a role playing game which took over the risk of not respecting the codes imposed by the first two episodes. The only thing he has not dealt a major injury in the light of those impressive sales figures.

Even shipped this number seems too high. It only sold about 250k in Europe.

Also pc, is included, still that's a lot copies.

who would you rather believe, bethesda or vgchartz? lol

Obviously Vgchartz is much more credible(...)

Not bad at all. Probably about 2 million across all the platforms for the first week would fit this number. Remember retailers just don't order for one week of sales haha... especially for these kinds of games.

The game probably sold a lot better in the US just like Fable II did

Huge amount of shipped copies - well done to them! The triple platform is obviously working for them, might be something like:

360 - 2.0m
PS3 - 1.5m
PC - 1.2m
(guesstimates)

Sales to consumers is another thing - but even if they never get another retailer order, its done real well.

Wow! Amazing numbers.
