Alan Wake sales in top 5 in Europe despite weak start (link)

link

Good to hear, I LOVED the game, and Remedy deserves it :)

D: B-b-but it sold 88k in 4 days! FLOP! :3 Srs bsns..good for Remedy. I've been hearing nothing but excellent things about AW. I plan on getting it in the next 2 weeks.killab2oo5

Nice to hear. I know a TON of friends who actually waited for me to get it before they bought it. So, hopefully more sales in the near future. I'd give it a solid 8.5. In fact, GS had a pretty accurate review.

Zero NA sales and people were freaking out. I expect Alan Wake to sell very well for it being a new IP and not your typical game that appeals to the MW/Halo crowd.

Good to hear, the game is awesome!

LOL@ people sayin its done bad in sales, when this article proves otherwise.

Its also abrand new IP and got released on one of themostanticipated games in awhile... RED DEAD, which is by Rockstar. Has sold better then i expected so far!

I thought this game sold very poorly there...

Never trust VGChartz ever again.

I would buy it... if there was a PC version.

Ive played the first hour or so, its amazing, but i'm not buying a 360 just for it.

I hate to point out the obvious, but 150k or whatever in the first week isn't much for a game with a 5 year development cycle..

Still hoping for a PC port. Game looks awesome.

I was under the impression that Countries like France and holland didn't count in SW, only the NPD, I'm guessing that's not accurate.

Either way, the only thing more sales mean to me is a higher likelihood of a sequel.

[QUOTE="93soccer"] So a game with a long dev time must sell a lot of copies in the first week? Well then GT5 should sell around 5M in the first week and Duke Nukem Forever...let's not even talk about how much pwnage it's gonna cause on the chartsAnjunaddict

Either way, the only thing more sales mean to me is a higher likelihood of a sequel.

[QUOTE="Anjunaddict"][QUOTE="urdead18"] I'm saying it's more important for a game with a longer dev time to sell more copies as opposed to a game that took 2 years to develop.

We got data from an EU state other than the UK? Sweet. I hope the trend continues.

shinrabanshou, thank you, but how is this possible? Are you saying that we will finally be able to include the EU on a regular basis when it comes to sales and predictions and what not?

Also, GlitchSpot, my HTML is formed no differently than it normally is so how about you tell your webmaster to at least make an attempt at fixing this issue which has plagued you for so long. It's their bread and butter I believe. I am sick and tired of having to play around with my posts just so that I can quote somebody. A forum of this size belonging to a corporate giant has no excuse to be so buggy. Either fix the issue or use vBulletin software. It actually works, ya know?

If it doesnt have co-op or mp , games on the 360 just don't sell well nothing new.

Yeah is doing well on netherland and france lmao and only sold around 30k in the uk yeah that's some good sales alright.

I guess i expected better from a 360 games since they sell so well right ?lol

Gameplay was ok, but the story was really good.

Glad it did well in parts of Europe.

Nintendo also compiled a pan-European top 30 chart for software for the first 15 weeks of the year. But again, no numbers.
