Video Game Sales Thread

Seems okay considering the console situation in japan.

SFIV debuted at over 150k.

Comg means nothing for the sales being poor.

Chertz have SFIV debuting at 120k on PS3+360 (83k+37k), considering how the chertz arrive at their japanese numbers I'd guess that's pretty close to reality. I'm not saying SFV did good, but it could have been way worse, especially considering the state of consoles in Japan.

Germany BIU January.

Rainbow Six (PS4) > 100k

Still shortages of WiiU?

SFV flops. Will it get ported to other consoles?

It'd hard to say, depends on the contract between sony and capcom. If Sony's investment is large, I highly doubt it.

Adam Boyes made it pretty clear at the first PSX that it was permanently console exclusive to PS4. They also intentionally released the game as barebones to get it out on time for the tournament season. Clearly, they're not that concerned about big sales out of the gate. If they were, they would have waited until March or June. That's when the big updates are scheduled.

Rocket League has sold close to 4m copies not counting PS+. With PS+ it's over 10m. - NeoGAF

SteamSpy numbers are ~2.7m owners. They also just talked about crossplay. The only way they could do an XB1 + PC crossplay, is if they put it up on the Windows Store, but obviously they don't want to fragment their PC users.
 

What a massive success.

It sad to see MS dropping the cross-play.

Congrats for the success.

BTW they announced retail release.

MS policies restric PC + Xbox One cross-play to Windows Store only... Steam is not allowed.

So the new fire emblem sold 300k in the first 3 days in US
That puts it at 860k US and JP only

I didn't think fire emblem sold that well.

That's pretty good!

fantastic sales for Rocket League, well deserved. hopefully with a retail release, and the XB1 release they can reach 6 million or so, and keep chugging along.

I remember following that game before it was cool.

Devs were super humble and nice. They even offered to make cameo cars for any indie devs that contacted them, since they "love paying it forward." It's so awesome to see them find success.

You need to have them do one for your game.
