Video Game Sales Thread

US isn't China
And PC.

What did i just read http://www.gamespot.com/articles/gamestop-ceo-praises-uncharted-4-again-says-new-co/1100-6440361/

Pressed for further specifics on how the game is doing for GameStop, Raines said "sales are good," but mentioned that you should look to Sony to make official announcement, not GameStop. Uncharted 4 sold 2.7 million copies during its first week earlier this month, which was down substantially from figures for Uncharted 3: A Thief's End (though there may be a reason for that).

Uncharted 3 shipped 3.8m first week.  Not sure what it actually ended up selling.

UC3 came out at the beginning of November, hence why its shipment was so high. UC4, on the other hand, came out on a slow month.

Uh, I think you guys misunderstood what Rorono meant, Gamespot made the mistake of comparing shipped to sold through numbers, which quite honestly is embarrassing for a big site like this. Honestly, when I read shame like this I feel that I could become a video game journalist as well, it apparently doesn't require something like accuracy or knowledge of the topic you're writing about.

That's literally what we both were talking about.  
I said Uncharted 3 shipped.  Noting that I wasn't sure what it actually sold.  I actually posted on GameSpot to point out they are comparing apples to oranges.  

Aura likely understood exactly too. He's just explaining why Uncharted 3 had such high shipments.  (Why 3's numbers could he perceived as bloated.)

If I'm not wrong all Blizzard PC games are HUGE in China.

StarCraft sold 3m or more.

I'm not sure.  I made the account like 20 min ago to respond to the article.  

I was checking on my comment and I see "you have been banned."

Not sure how the site works.

On the article?

Official price cut for Xbox One.

US: $299
Europe: 299€

WOW

$200 less than what it released at, and just 2.5 years after launch. I was not shocked when it dropped like a rock to match PS4, but I'm surprised they have continued to aggressively price cut.

[the-pi-guy]

On the article?

Yeah, I just made a comment saying the article was comparing apples to oranges.
Now trying to view the comment, it just says "you have been banned".

How odd.

Yes, but I'm pretty sure Rorono understood it as well and was making the post to point how stupidly wrong that article is for comparing shipped and sold through numbers, so it's kinda weird to see you guys point out the shipment thing to Rorono here.

Btw. today in "Astonishingly wrong things I've read on Reddit":

Are you the respondent? Because it's not just recent years that forza hasn't been a big seller. It's been since it's conception. Forza 2 was forced bundled with every xbox 360 globally before it hit 2 million.

I seriously want to molest your avatar. Which I suppose means I want to molest you, too.

Forza bigger seller outside US? C'mon...
