Forums - Sales - How is VGChartz going to keep track of Warhawk sales?

Sporticus on 11 August 2007

Wouldn't it be to Sony's benefit to make these downloaded sales known as it would encourage more third party development?

DLC content will never be tracked by this site. There is too much of it, and its impossible to get any sort of figures for the game.

This is Sony's problem. The charts will only ever show what Warhawk sells as a boxed copy.

(I really can't see WarHawk doing that well - at retail anyway. This sort of game has been around for years on the PC, and it falls into the category of "more of the same" IMO).

 


 Rofl their are a lot of games on DS that are more of the same and sell well.

And Halo would have been a more of the same on PC, but this is console gaming.

 

Halo is a huge brand name, created by a multi-million (x50) campaign - as the launch title of MS's first console. And it was in the news for years prior to that.

You can't seriously compare Halo & WarHawk. WarHawk doesn't even have a single player campaign, does it? Its just Tribes/Battlefield for the PS3?

(ROFL laughing at your response :>)

Huh? Care to name ONE?

A multiplayer-only, war/killing game?

The biggest WWII games flunk on the DS. I can't think of a single multiplayer (WiFi) only game ever released for the DS?

(I'm out of here - someone else will have to take care of any spotfires that start up...)

What if it sells 1 million at retail? Then sony annouces its the best selling psn game? Would that mean it sold 2 million?

I honestly hope you don't think that Warhawk will sell 1 million at retail Leo-j.

 On topic though, this is going to be a very intersting issue once all of the online distributed games start to come out. Hopefully there is a good solution to this as well, as we will really need to see the differences between retail and online to get an idea of how the sales are trending.


Is it like everyone thinks Im a dumb idot or something? Bro, it has a bluetooth headset, that head set alone cost around 50buks, it would be very smart to buy warhawk in retail, and I said WHAT IF, keywords.


Okay "bro". Just because it has a bluetooth does not mean it's a guaranteed million. And I see the WHAT IF. That's why I said I "honestly hope you don't think" at the beginning. Capiche?



Just kiss the tip.

 Gears of war sold for sure much because of the online mode.

Quake 3 was also more of the same (Unreal) and had no singleplayer mode but it sold a lot more
than Quake 4 who had a SP mode;

You said it is a game that falls in the category 'more of the same"   and you said that it will
 not sell
good because of that.

Wow didn't take long for this to turn into Sony trolling. I'm not getting caught up in another one of these threads. *Hits the eject button*

 And Halo did not have online multiplayer, I also said Halo not Halo 2 or 3 so no huge brand name.  Warhawk has been out there for around 2 years.

Don't dumb it down just becasue its a Sony game, we have no idea how such a game will do on a console.  Warhawk is in some ways is paving the way for these type of games on a console.  Last poll i saw had 70/80% of the people buying Warhawk at retail.  Alot of PS3 owners dont yet have a headset nor do many accept the idea of download only no disk. 

Iam not saying Warhawk is Halo, iam saying just because PC has alot of stuff like it does not mean much as far as consoles are concerned.
