Forums - Sales Discussion - Did Fallout 3 flop?

Wookaroo on 19 February 2009

Fallout 3 sold fairly well. There's probably a large number of hard to track PC version sales too.



Person 1: Does Valkyria Chronicles have trophies?
Person 2:  No.
Person 1: Forget it. I'm not buying it.
Person 2: Wait! It's amazing! Unique, charming, drop dead gorgeous... Hello?

Fallout 3 did better than pretty much anyone expected.

4.7 million copies shipped.

3.3 million already sold on PS360 and with PC sales it's probably over 4 million.

And it still is sold for $60 everywhere which means retailers aren't desperate to get it off the shelves (this means it wasn't overshipped).

Fallout 3 has only been outsold by GTA4, CoD, Halo, Assassin's Creed, Gears of War and Guitar Hero in this gen on the PS360.

I don't think it was a flop.

How in the WORLD, does a topic like this get 5 pages of posting, as I add more to it? Oh NVM...

Lower prices, superior graphics/controls, infinite modability...we of the Master Race pity you poor Console Peasantry, and pray for the day you get out of that primordial mud you're in and begin to experience True Gaming.

I know you are speaking tongue-in-cheek, but some of us humble peasants used to participate of True Gaming and we like it better now ;)

 I personally doubt it, but according to Shio there's a lot of people who pay, just not very much lol.

Considering the PC version of Fallout 3 will probably outsell both console versions combined.... then yes.

PC gaming has been growing faster than console gaming. Just Ask EA's CEO.
