Starcraft II's First Month Sales Are In

[QUOTE="waltefmoney"]

[QUOTE="qazadex"]

That says it sold 3 million in 4 weeks, the same as SC2.

loadedboon

Oh, I was wrong then, sorry. Gears 2 sold as much as SC2, but apparently the development cost was much lower. StarCraft II did cost 100$ million, right?

Do you mind enlightening us how well those other 360 exclusives sold or are you just gonna ignore that post because you know how bad their numbers are?

What other exclusives? Halo? :lol: I kid, I kid.

Forza 3 has sold over 2 million, Alan Wake sales were pretty bad, Crackdown 2 sold pretty well, Fable 2 sold over 3 million I believe..

And Red dead depemtion sold more that SC2......

ianuilliam

Also,RDR has been out longer,these SC2 sales are only from the first month.

considering how many pcs are out there im not impressed at all, didnt we find out a few weeks back that there are more gaming pcs sold than all the consoles combined? And considering all we hear from hermits is how the pc is in a different league to consoles, how standards are higher and they cant be compared and then they go and brag about a pc exclusive selling more than others, double standards ftw!ThePsTriple

The only exclusive games on the 360 which sell huge numbers are GEOW and HALO everything else is below 1m a month or slightly above it. Name me one game exclusive to the 360 except a HALO or GEOW game which sold more then 3m in it's first month. If you can provide me this with proof i will accept ownage and shut up about it.

[QUOTE="Ravensmash"] Because of one game? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's more likely for a console game to reach big first month sales than a PC exclusive. I'm not saying there aren't rare examples, but what was the last game that did this?waltefmoney

Did you see me claim all pc games sell 3 million in it's 1st month. It's you console fanboys who act like your exclusives sell millions and millions in it's 1st month. While 98% even barely reach 1 million sales. So proof me wrong and I will accept it.

I said PC exclusive. Sims 3 is also on consoles. When I open up the Wikipedia article and I look at the platform section:

Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, Windows Mobile, webOS, Android[5], N-Gage mobile devices, Nintendo DS[6], Nintendo 3DS[7], Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360

I thougth the "real" next gen consoles(HD systems) were the PS3 and the 360(or so many cows and lems say) and the Wii didn´t count,but now it does? :lol:

Good to see the Wii serves some purpose after all,but only when it´s convenient,I guess,the rest of the time doesn´t count,it seems.

So your putting a game which is out on 2 systems against a game on 1 system and somehow want to claim some ownage? :lol:

So purposely targeting 2 games taht didnt sell all that well is fair right? I didnt see the TC comparing sales to bigger franchises such as Mario or Halo. Its easy to bash another games sales hen they didnt sell all that well.

No, what I meant was that you're complaining about me barging in and defending the 360 while you do the exact same thing whenever someone posts something with even a hint of negativity towards PC.

judging from lemmings argueing a lot lately it must be that time of month xD.

But still good games sell well so end of Starcraft 2 outsold a few consoles exclusives woopetedoo why not just go play the game instead of playing sales figures which in a 1 month time frame is nada, but lifetime sales mean something.A lot of games with high sales were slow burners.

warmaster670

The trends suggest that big-budget mainstream titles generally sell better on consoles (short-term at least) while smaller developers (comparatively) and independents are better off on PC. I personally would take the PC's side of the bargain. Of course there are exceptions.
