Video Game Sales Thread

[Dr. Pezus]

Ben Fritz on Twitter: "Disney cancels struggling Infinity video game line. Takes $147 million charge. End of Disney as video game publisher."

I had no idea Disney Infinity was struggling.

Seems like the whole Toys to Life thing isn't doing as well as it used to.

Emily Rogers on Twitter: "100% agree. Lego Dimensions isn't doing that great either. And amiibo sales were at their best during smash bros. https://t.co/LbbXgtxtTj"

Surprising. Thought it would do well with Star wars

Mediacreate tomorrow.  Hopefully ps4 stays strong.

Hopefully Skylanders and Dimensions crashes and burns, too. The games are terrible money pits.

Dimensions is fun. And one mini figure from Lego is 4 bucks. A fun pack for Dimensions has a mini figure and a vehicle that you can find for 7 dollars or so. Also, you can play with them outside of the game. They aren't just a useless statue.

I bet you're the person who wanted every indie game to fail because they were taking away from AAA development.

Total worldwide shipments for Dark Souls III have surpassed three million, and total worldwide shipments for the Dark Souls series have surpassed 13 million, Bandai Namco announced.

The number includes 500,000 shipped in Japan and Asia, 1.5 million shipped in North America, and one million shipped in Europe.

Impressive!

i dont really understand the logic behind releasing both titanfall 2 and battlefield 1 in the same quarter. battlefield 1 is late October, when is Titanfall gonna release? early Oct? doubt it. November? that would be just a couple of weeks after Battlefield, assuming they want to release it before or on black friday. december? what would be the point, the majority of the holiday period and black friday would be over by then. the placing out of release dates just seems all kind of wrong to me.

i dont really understand the logic behind releasing both titanfall 2 and battlefield 1 in the same quarter. battlefield 1 is late October, when is Titanfall gonna release? early Oct? doubt it. November? that would be just a couple of weeks after Battlefield, assuming they want to release it before or on black friday. december? what would be the point, the majority of the holiday period and black friday would be over by then. the placing out of release dates just seems all kind of wrong to me.

Drowning out the competition, especially Cod would be my guess. EA has been obsessed with taking the crown from Cod for years, I wouldn't put it past them to do this to increase the shooter spotlight on them this holiday season.

PSV Persona 4 the Golden (the best) 39K

Wow, really impressive that Persona 4 still managed to sell 40k in 2015 in Japan, but it's almost more impressive that the chertz managed to overtrack even that.

Titanfall is far more direct competition to Call of Duty than Battlefield is and not likely to sway people who already want Battlefield anyways. As far as core users go, they inhabit two different spheres within the genre. Even though people love to compare CoD to BF.

There is plenty of room to release Titanfall 2 a whole month after Battlefield 1. I think EA is also doubling down to make sure they get at least one shooter out for the holidays. That way if one has to be delayed they can lean on the other. I'm guessing Holiday 2014 really hurt when they had to delay Hardline.

I think Titanfall was rushed out the door and Respawn had to put a lot of things on hold to release on time. Titanfall 2 is probably made up significantly of things they had already been working on and this game is pretty dang close to being final. EA would then have to either sit on the game for months, spend more money on it for further development, or release it ASAP.

You can play with all of these toys outside the games. Most importantly, the games aren't any good.

I don't have a problem with indie games. I bet you're the person who makes nonsensical assumptions about people.

Have you played any of them? The Legos are really the only ones that double as a Toy. The others are figurines that look nice. My assumption isn't nonsensical. It's a direct observation from your mentality that "toys to life should fail because I don't like them" and comparing it to those saying the same about indies

[Ludicrous Speed]

I wasn't aware Indies are shaming money pit games. My bad.
