Man, feels sorry for Dark Soul II.

I lost 3 million souls by getting one-shotted. Fuck that game.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

This thread turned into a mod war?
Let me play Rains of Castamere for the winner.

 

[Amir0x]

Which one may i ask?

My "Age of Sony" is done post, made when FFXIII exclusivity was lost. My point was referencing the symbolic aspect of FFXIII being the last major third party exclusive they had, and they then lost it. It was symbolic of every franchise they had lost exclusivity of, and represented the low point to me of Sony's future standing given what had come before with the loss of goodwill between them and the community. But of course, they started listening, turned it around, and now are PS4 gangbusters. Clearly, the age of Sony still has at least one more gen

 

[BlazingDarkness]

I assume they're on there to take up space. No sane person should think those will even move the needle. Halo TV series? Good lord, that is desperation.

There is a certain joy in crossing things off lists.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Hmm, $3.2M well spent then for Ubisoft.

Also suggests a million or thereabouts for Titanfall (including bundles).

 

[creamsugar]

So I guess we know that Titanfall did break a million. Either that or they can awfully close.

Yes, and PS4 megaton < 0.5m

 

[Orayn]

Shipments.

Good catch.

Dark Souls shipped 650k in NA in ~29 days. EDIT: Sold ~350k in that timeframe?

Dark Souls II sold <350k in 20 days tracked. (I think.)

Depending on sell-through for the first, they seem to be fairly close.

 

[Cess007]

They should release it for PS4.

I want this to happen so badly!!

Oh look, Steve dragging out his racism and anti-semitism and lookism and weightism again. You should see the things he says about the OTHER persona characters.

He better not badmouth Chie nor Noato :<

Yes, and PS4 megaton < 0.5m

So Titanfall 1million, and Infamous <500K in USA.

 

[allan-bh]

Titanfall 1 million? WOW

 

[AppleMIX]

Good catch.

Dark Souls shipped 650k in NA over 29 days.

Dark Souls II sold <350k in 20 days tracked. (I think.)

Depending on sell-through for the first, they seem to be fairly close.

Also, I'm sure DS2 had a bigger digital push, didn't it?

 

[neojubei]

I'm still baffled by their decision to last gen the pre-sequel. It's a dumb move.

The last bosman episode about that was pretty funny.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Oh look, Steve dragging out his racism and anti-semitism and lookism and weightism again. You should see the things he says about the OTHER persona characters.

What did he say about Chie my liege!?!

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Yes, and PS4 megaton < 0.5m

anyone knows how it compares to prev games?

 

[Y2Kev]

[jayu26]

Could you put this down to Sony's shift to PS4 having impeached on PS3 software reach? If everyone's busy buying up the new shiny then I'd guess releases for PS3 might suffer.

Are you talking why the split is smaller this time around? I think your reasoing only applies to why it sold less than it's predecessor in total. I don't think your reasoning explains why the split is smaller, because Xbone is also moving software in the US.

 

[ambientmystic]

Titanfall 1 million? WOW

Means that 1 out of 2.5 Xbone owners bought the game or bought the game with the bundle in the US alone.

That's a pretty honky mad attach rate.

 

[Orayn]

Also, I'm sure DS2 had a bigger digital push, didn't it?

Yeah, that might be why it was only 51% PS3 at retail.

I guess we also need to consider that the game will be more front-loaded since preorder sales were supposed to have been a lot higher than the first game.

I hope in my heart of hearts that the PC does a decent job of shoring up the numbers when it launches next week. For a game that proved to have a pretty strong PC following, that's not outside the realm of possibility.

 

[Mass Effect]

Yes, and PS4 megaton < 0.5m

Infamous did less than 500k? Am I reading this right?

And jesus at Titanfall hitting a million.

 

[Atlas157]

It captures the spirit of Yoshi's Island perfectly while doing an excellent job of refining the mechanics. The controls are tighter, the levels feature better platforming setpieces and are more conducive to the game's focus on exploration and finding secrets, and the transformations are handled better. It's really fantastic for fans of the original like me.

I keep trying to like it but I'm not feeling it. Oh well.

 

[PhatSaqs]

Wow at TF over a million. Goddamn.

 

[Ephemeris]

Other than Titanfall being #1, I'm genuinely surprised by this month's numbers.

 

[Uno Venova]

y2kevs source is literally rieko

 

[2345425]

What did he say about Chie my liege!?!

NOT CHIE! Does Steve Youngblood's evil know no bounds?!

 

[Karsticles]

EatChildren stocks his printer with remanufactured ink cartridges.

Why is that a bad thing?!

 

[shinra-bansho]

Good catch.

Dark Souls shipped 650k in NA in ~29 days.

Dark Souls II sold <350k in 20 days tracked. (I think.)

Depending on sell-through for the first, they seem to be fairly close.

Mr Harker said that DS sold about 200K or so less than Rage in Oct 2011 NPD. Rage did 550K. So yes, basically flat, but in that it suggests some level of growth in the series to offset the end of gen declines that everything is suffering as my soulmod said.

 

[xxracerxx]

Infamous did less than 500k? Am I reading this right?

And jesus at Titanfall hitting a million.

And those are just retail numbers.

 

[Nirolak]

And Titanfall hasn't even had the 360 version come out.

That's going to sell at least something.

Not to mention the PC version's sales don't show up here for the most part.

 

[Curufinwe]

Everyone regretting mocking Titanfall in its own thread now as they realise it has likely sold around 2 million already in the US alone.

Are you just doubling the Infamous 1 million figure?

Cause that was a worldwide number.

 

[GamerJM]

Infamous did less than 500k? Am I reading this right?

And jesus at Titanfall hitting a million.

Yup

 

[N.Domixis]

Wow at TF over a million. Goddamn.

I guess everyone who wanted the game did buy it before march, I remember someone saying that 1 million xboxes had been sold in anticipation for TF.

 

[TheRealTalker]

There are mod wars now?

I am okay with this.

 

[Blearth]

Dark Souls 2 only made over 350

My heart

PC version is gonna sell great.

 

[eddfromtheriver]

Dang. Microsofts biggest market, their biggest exclusive thus far, great bundles, and yet PS4 still wins. I wonder if this means we'll see a Kinectless SKU soon.

Pre-beatdown

MS: Kinectless XBO?.. FORGET ABOUT IT!!!... that shit is integral to our living room dominating plan!!!

Post-beatdown

MS: Because we like to offer choice to our consumers we will be releasing a stand-alone XBO system in the following weeks with a suggested MSRP of 349.99, available @ retailers as soon as the E3 conference is over.

ANOTHER ONE EIGHTY!!!

 

[WordsintheWater]

I don't see the usual amount of bans in here, in fact I haven't seen any, has anyone been banned in this thread?

 

[2345425]

EatChildren stocks his printer with remanufactured ink cartridges.

How scandalous.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

EatChildren stocks his printer with remanufactured ink cartridges.

Wait... is this bad?

 

[Gator86]

There is a certain joy in crossing things off lists.

Haha cross away. I enjoy the show. Im kind of rooting for Sunset Overdrive anyway. Insomniac has brought me a lot of fun over the years even though they seem more twitching corpse than thriving studio these days.

 

[Bruno MB]

Titanfall seems to be one of the best-selling bomba games ever.

 

[eddfromtheriver]

I'd like to know if TF outsold SS if you take away the PC numbers.

This.

 

[Uno Venova]

1 million is great, I'm surprised they didn't tout that number.

I don't see the usual amount of bans in here, in fact I haven't seen any, has anyone been banned in this thread?

Nah the 'meltdowns' are never as bad as people predict.

 

[TomShoe]

EatChildren stocks his printer with remanufactured ink cartridges.

Don't blame him. I had to give up part of my gall bladder, the third toenail on my left hand, and my limited edition copy of Bowling for Soup's album "The Great Burrito Extortion Case." That's just for black. Can you imagine what Cyan costs?

 

[Orayn]

Mr Harker said that DS sold about 200K or so less than Rage in Oct 2011 NPD. Rage did 550K. So yes, basically flat, but in that it suggests some level of growth in the series to offset the end of gen declines that everything is suffering as my soulmod said.

Creamsugar did say <350k, though, with the #6 game being <280k.

So yeah, either completely flat or a slight lead for Dark Souls II.

EDIT: At retail. PS3 digital might be a few tens of thousands?

 

[mrklaw]

Should have actually banned him and then posted that.

Could have shown people you're the one with the balls on the table

Should have changed his tag to 'banned' and then posted that

 

[Gorillaz]

I lost 3 million souls by getting one-shotted. Fuck that game.

Why were you carrying 3 million souls on you

What a casul

 

[allan-bh]

People that doubted Titanfall sales should shut up now.

 

[VultureDude]

dare i ask, any news on Wii U? did it sell a single console?

 

[vagabondarts]

Never end story HD: PS3/PSV = 4/1

XBO megaton / PS4 megaton > 2/1 (Include bundle)

I have dreamed a

dream, but now that dream is gone from me.

 

[Principate]

Why were you carrying 3 million souls on you

Maybe it was a SL1 run.

 

[Jarmel]

Titanfall seems to be one of the best-selling bomba games ever.

It's a COD level bomba.

 

[Amir0x]

Nice Titanfall numbers, franchise will have a healthy life once it starts spreading to the other ecosystems.
