According to MS, AC6 was the #1 game download of MS's "bring it home". Im really, really suprised that it got THAT many downloads over E3 week.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Why wouldnt a game demo get that much downloads?

A. It beat Blue Dragon.
B. Ninja Gaiden Sigma had just ~100k downloads in Japan the entire LTD before launch (as far as I can remember)...Big comparison of 7 days vs. an entire demo's timeframe.

Not only this, I just think 1/2m is just a massive number - thats about 10% of the US install base. Its mainly interesting because its a flight sim/arcade game, and not a normal pidgeonhole X360 game.

I don't get why demos don't get 75% of the install base...I mean...they're free...maybe that's just my Dutch cheapness talking...



LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Is there some correlation between the number of downloads for a game and game sales? Anyway that is impressive.

You don't have to pay to download demos, so stop bashing the xbox.

In japan.. Why dont you compare u.s vs u.s...dude seriously thats bein biased(you compared the lowest downloads of ninja gaiden with the highest for ace combat)

I should have said that in a nicer manner. Anyway I just wanted clarify that you don't have to pay to download demos (well most demos, you need a gold account to play phantasy star).
