You have edited your post from interactive games should die, why? It's really sad to see people want some genre to die just coz they don't like it and does not have mass appeal to sell in millions. There are people who love them even though they are small in numbers, so it's like crushing some people games.

I figure that actual games like Bloodborne should succeed, & that there should be less games based off of interactive movie-like games.

Go back to the days before 360 & PS3 came in which there were more fun games.

I agree...we should want more diversity and different types of games, not what someones narrow views of games is. I hate platformers but I don't go around posting they should go away, quite the opposite.

"Just under" by roughly 400k.

WW or US? That sounds like US numbers.

Potential should be the tagline to The Order because that's all I ever hear with the IP. Such a meaningless term that can be abused again and again. Hey if they fail to deliver next time it doesn't matter because the lore and setting still has POTENTIAL.

Oh you must be one of those people who hasn't played a game and cries that people enjoy it.

Lol, they are often really off base on things, sometimes even 2-3x off.

Just look at Mario Party 10

terrible site: North America: 0.16m 52.5%
Actual sales = 290K in US ALONE. Don't even try using it as a base for anything lol.

 

[nib95]

~570k at retail. probably missing some tiny countries.

Out of curiosity, do you know what Driveclub has done? Up to now anyway.

 

[BleedOrange]

Dude, come on man. That can't be the narrative you've come up with for majority of users who played the game. Isn't it more just give them a second chance because you could "potentially" make an awesome game in the universe? I mean, most people just want a Gears clone I think, I've not seen many defenders of the game other than "it's not the worse thing I've played" or "It's a great rental". No one is pushing some agenda of people not understanding it's greatness lol.

At the end of the day it takes resources to build games. I for one would like to see Sony direct those resources elsewhere rather than pursue a sequel. In my opinion The Order looked extremely unfun, and I would rather Sony spend the resources fostering 2-3 smaller games that are actually fun! Once again, just my opinion.

I don't have a problem with people liking DC or TO. Sure DC didn't fail on the level of TO but it failed pretty bad; a year delay, no promised PS+ version, major server issues for months and the whole social aspect came off half baked. Critics also panned it and the game is crawling with sales after many bundles and price cuts. Also doesn't sound like an IP worth supporting with a sequel. KZ and Knack were heavily bundled and regarding Knack its the very definition of mediocrity yet so many people unironically want a sequel.

It's one thing to say I like so and so game but its another to continue pushing the idea that gamers didn't understand a game, sequel will address all issues. I see a lot of that with PS exclusive titles. Wonder if Knack and TO would have had as big a defence force if they were multiplat.

Driveclub was in the recent European top 20 sales charts, half a year after its release.

Well the Order at least initially sold a lot better than DC. DC opened @ like 47K right? Not sure if it's the best comparison, because the projects likely had different budgets & expectations I presume.

They can't even seem to copy 1st party PR properly sometimes T_T... They still somehow have Mario party 10 at 160K NA and 70K JP (issues copying media create/famitsu )?

DC seems to have better legs when it comes to sales though, at least in Europe where racers are more popular. Perhaps the good word of mouth has also something to do with it.

[Hero of Legend]

To clarify, this is happening only in US. This is the territory where the game is "recovering" a bit from the debut's month. Japan sales sucked beyond belief and, for Europe...I won't hold my breath believing it sold that much (we just know it sold 35,000 in France, though, nothing else...the stars will be aligned, cats and dogs will live together and The Last Guardian will be shown at an E3 when we'll know concrete European numbers, so...).

Could've sworn Bayo2 was 60k in France.

they "projected" 60k, they actually got 35k according to GfK (granted there's digital, but it's not 40%)

(look at all those "ha Americans with your bad taste, it sold almost the same" posts, then the US sells 4x as much)

that Smash Bros prediction was also overshooting it iirc

Go back to the days before 360 & PS3 came in which there were more fun games.

Expecting few games based on Interactivity is fine because the gamers who want these games are minor these days, so few games are well balanced than completely stop making these games which is really bad for industry. We need diversity and there are gamers who like interactivity also one of the reasons are as they have less time to play games than regular gamer so they expect short and quality single player experiences like a movie so they should have some games for playing.

Also before 360 & PS3 days the technology was not good enough to make those interactive movie like games which was not possible at that time so we did not get.

Shitting on people for wanting a sequel is not tame and should not be condoned.

 

[Mr Swine]

So does anyone have a clue how much Vita and PSTV has done this month? Why aren't they included with the other handheld/console numbers?

 

[flaviusconstantius]

Without being rude or derailing the very interesting Order discussion, I am somewhat interested in how Dragon Age Inquisition has done. It seemed to have an ok-ish first month, but has shown some signs of limited staying power after in Europe on the combined formats charts, and EA gave that very unclear statement that it was "fastest selling Bioware game at launch" and then a series of hours played. Interested in whether it outsold DA2 or not at retail.

 

[CosmicQueso]

If you're asking for extinct platforms, might as well ask for OUYA and Shield numbers while you're at it.

Amen to that. Shitting on someone because they liked a game you didn't has no place here.

Sales are so small they're not worth tracking. Maybe cs might help you out if you PM him.

in addition to Vita numbers, what about PS360? I don't recall getting these ONCE the entire year so far

We got this statement from EA in January.

“Dragon Age: Inquisition had by far the most successful launch in BioWare’s history, exceeding our expectations,” said EA CFO Blake Jorgensen during the investor call.

Combining PS3, X360, Ouya, Shield, Vita and Vita TV literally accounts for less than 15% of hardware sales so far this year.

Not worth tracking.

Ugh! Disappointed to see the worst Battlefield game sell well. Yea it might not have BF4 type issues but its just a bad game. The cops vs robbers MP should have just been a BF4 expansion while ditching visceral and their campaign. Oh well!

I wonder if any pricecuts for last gen consoles are in store for E3, and if they are if it will make any difference, or if last gen consoles have already reached market saturation.

I would assume they haven't, but neither Sony nor MS seem inclined to reach out to low-expenditure markets, and the length of last gen was an anomaly compared to prior generations.

Sony's moved on. Think they're happy sunsetting PS3 where it is now.

MS can still make a run at a discount price point. My take, anyways.

They still have some life in LATAM and parts of EMEA, but for the most part last gen has been put to bed.

It's the best selling game in Visceral's history, sadly.

(edit: not sad that it sold well, but at the situation overall).
