I thought it would do worse, to be honest. But yeah, it didn't do great.

The Order seems ok to me. It could have been a lot better obviously but it also could have been worse, given the critical reception and backlash it got. I hope it does well enough to get a sequel anyway.
Im surprised at those Evolve numbers, that is great for them.

There is a huge market for bad games. You just need to be the right type of bad game to get sales and goty awards etc.
Playstation Blog said on PSN, theOrder1886 was the 4th best seller in February.
Thank you! Appreciate it
No, they boasted about their anti-social networks like Xbox live. Said it's 3 times as large as social networks like Facebook or twitter.
Wha5 happened to aqua???Don't give them any ideas! We already lost Aqua

Never thought I'd see Mohun in the top ten (^______^)
Bloodborne is gonna at least double The Order with no problem. Especially if it reviews decently. The PS4 has been starving for a great retail exclusive since launch IMO and owners are waiting for "that game". I know I am.

I'd be surprised if we don't get a sequel. You don't spend all that money and time on a next-gen engine like that for a one-off game. A sequel would take considerably less time and a smaller budget. Sony is also not Microsoft. They'll give RAD a shot at redemption.
I said this earlier. Just bundle it to the system to add even more "value". Include it with TLOU, Infamous SS, and KZ digital codes
I was honestly expecting The Order to do almost twice than it actually did. Thought the game's mind blowing graphics would help it. Guess the reviews hurt it more than I thought.
Would be surprised to see Bloodborne get over 250K now.

The reviews will help in terms of interest/people wanting to give it a chance (well, if it does well in reviews). I just don't know by how much though.

Even bigger gap than last year and the Xbox was $500 then. Insane.
that concern tho

I think consumers are getting smarter. If Bloodborne reviews well it will probably sell well. Plus the souls series is very popular, I've seen a ton of people that have been on the sidelines up till now picking a PS4 up just to play this gMe. I'd be surprised if it isn't #1 for this month ahead of BFH

Surprised to see Xenoverse do so well, good for them.

I'm sure God of War had legs though, I can't say the same thing about The Order.

A very small segment of owners. From Software has a rabid fanbase but it is very small. Didn't Dark Souls 2 do like 2.5M sales across all platforms?
Agree

the order 1986 confirmed
Boooooo, he should make a new nameNPD forced Aqua to stop. Had to self-ban.
Shouldn't do it like that.

PS4=Red to illustrate how much it is murdering the competition.
Xbox One=Blue to illustrate its calm in preseason.
WiiU=Green to illustrate its nauseatingly bad sales.
Do not hate me its just a joke.
Nvm that is March.

I was only referring to first month NPD. Worldwide of course it will do more than that.

Last figures that were released, the attach rate was 4.4 with 18.5 million sold.
Lower than the Wii U, but higher than the PS3 at this stage of it's life. Not sure how it compares with the Xbone, but certainly not a bad attach rate!
I'm not "concern trolling" -- I honestly thought the game would do better and feel that a game of The Order's nature is more attractive to American audience than a hardcore Japanese RPG.
Seems par for the course
Yeah, God of War had great word of mouth.
SheBoooooo, he should make a new name

Really?
Even with a larger install base, that would put Order above Second Son. (<400k)
There was no world where with the game's reception and previews would it had done above an established IP's 3rd in the franchise.
1.2M in 3 weeks on 2 platforms (and like I mentioned earlier, people were waiting on the PC release too)
That's quite good for such a hardcore series. Bloodborne has even more hype than DS2 had as well.
I'm really wondering how different this would be if Zelda remake was on Wii U and Kirby was (rightfully) on handheld. It's like Nintendo ain't even trying with the Wii U just cause the 3DS is doing well.

WHAAAAAAT
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is on track to be the worst selling Kirby game of all-time. It only did 58k in Japan before dropping off the top 20 altogether. It's going to struggle to get to 200k worldwide at this rate.
Nintendo must be shitting themselves. The solid New 3DS performance is being undermined by disastrous Wii U software and hardware sales.
I think the numbers are good but then again, this Feb has The Order & Evolve AAA new releases ( maybe if you count Xenoverse as well ) where as last feb has virtually nothing for new consoles. 2014 Feb numbers were:
PS4: 286.7K
Xbox One: 258K
Wii U: Nearly 82.5K
Yeah, word of mouth helped God of War. I remember some not being interested in it at first since it was a new IP late during the PS2's life. All of the "10/10" reviews helped though.

You think its gonna do over 400k in 1 week? Man if it pulls that off Sony / From will be over the moon.

I wouldn't call it slow, it did have The Order hype pushing it (at least until the game released).
Yeah, at the end of 2005 was at 740k.
God of War is a good game, unfortunately The Order is another case.
I think a lot of people smelled The Order coming months before it arrived, and avoided it. Bloodborne is getting nothing but positive buzz at this point. Combine that with the overwhelmingly negative post-release press The Order received, and it should be obvious why they are completely different situations.

It did well in UK at least, and that's generally Sony's weakest market in EU.
