Forums - Sales Discussion - Warhawk 30k and counting!

Just was checking the leader boards on Warhawk and so far 34878 have logged on for a match. Not extreamly impressive, but we will see how it goes for the rest of the week. This is just a roughf estimate of how many people have bought it as some may not have taken the game online, and it is also EU and American numbers. Anyways I will try to do an update once a day on how many copies have went online. If everyone else is having as much fun as I am we should get quite a few sales on word of mouth, because this game is hands down the best Multi player game on console right now.

'34878 have logged on'

would someone logging on, logging out, then logging back on again, count as 1 or 2?


Hopefully my copy gets shipped the day before the UK release so I get it on the 14th, but I doubt it.

No, it's 34k seperate accounts. which should be fairly indictive of sales since 1). psn versions cannot log on to multiple accounts within 24 hours. 2). it's too early in the games life for stats whores to start multi accounting with the bluray.

 

wasn't the uk psn warhawk only released today with the bluray to follow? form what i saw of the american stats, it looks like alot of people waited for the bluray. i got my BR copy at 1pm eastern and logged on to 10k accounts, when i went to bed it had jumped up to 24k... so im guessing we'll have around 50k sales by the time stores close on the pacific coast, since this is the first full day of sales.

30k units opening day between the two largest markets in the world is not very impressive.

The game does look intriguing, though. I might have to check it out before Halo 3 swallows my soul for two months.

many might not have logged in yet, there is lan play. I played lan for an hour today just refreshing myself with the controls.

So mattering if players are playing on lan only to learn controls or their copies havent arrived yet (shipping can take a few days) then those numbers should double very soon, then double again.

Plus the fact that the PS Store normally updates on Thursdays so anyone out of the whole Warhawk releasing Wednesday in stores or downloadable Tuesday will make it so that more people play Thursday. 

 But atleast VGCharts can track players efficiently for this download.

I think Warhawk will sell pretty well right off the bat, but long term it'll be a mainstay of the PS3. Even more so then Gears of War, Warhawk has less competition and the concentration on online play (free on PS3 by the way) might bring over a lot of FPS gamers.

Its a great thing for the PS3, that the game wasn't delayed because any later and it would have been greatly over shadowed by Halo 3 and CoD4.

Lifetime sales should be in the 2+ Million Range for the game to be a true success, I think it should get there in the long run.

That is REALLY optimistic. I don't think Warhawk will even come close to 2m sales. That's unheard of for an online-only game. Shit, Gears has only sold around 4.5m with over twice the userbase and a massive following.

I predict ~500k for Warhawk.
