    AOC sold 700K  GTA4 sold a few million of the first day

  • EnigmaEnigma Member UncommonPosts: 11,384

    lol you need to be a wee more specific. They said AoC beats GtA IV in Germany and Sweden. You made it sound like it beat it overall

    But yes, its a good feat

     


    GTA IV sales figures

    GTA IV sales figures have topped 500 million USD in its first week on sale! To put that in perspective Halo 3 topped 300 million USD in its first week on sale last year which makes GTA 4 the highest earning game debut ever! It’s breaking so many records someone better call Norris McWhirter – or at least his successor.

    (thats 10 million boxes in the US alone in the first week..AoC sold 400K boxes worldwide in the first week)


    People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.

    Vanguard SOH is the only game to fail to hit all the markets, but the re-release may prove to be AoC's demis. People tired of an instanced world will look for a game with the same graphical (even superior) quality and open world atmosphere.
    Another note LoTRO is about to release in S.E.A, / China  as well , and that will pretty much pull the subs into the millions. Turbine has an entire team in that region devoted to LotRO , has Funcom even thought about that market ? Funcom is old thinking, they think small and they brought a product to the table that shows it.

    why should i forget about a 1 year old saleschart? i am not comparing aoc to lotro here.. sure im not denying it sold a lot.. and if u dont see any news in this thread why bother talking about it? byee

     

    i dont care about wow, lotro, vanguard etc the point COULD be that aoc managed to dethrone one of most succefull franchises already. And im NOT saying aoc is tha bomb / best selling game.

    @rock_harry: i even inserted a nice link to prove it for ppl like you, enjoy

    yes aoc doesnt beat GTA in all countries :p just these 2, i know in britain its 2nd after GTA

    Just for clarification, AoC technically sold 700k copies. They sell directly to places like Best Buy, Wal Mart, etc. They buy the games, and we buy the games from them.

    In a marketting sense for video games it is taken into that aspect; the amount shipped to the sellers, since they are the ones really buying from the company first-hand. Not trying to disprove that GTA4's numbers were less than AoC's, because that definitely isn't true. Just said this for the point of that one statement.

    But to the OP, sorry, that's only two countries across the world, which even aren't countries with a large base of gamers and not to mention AoC was made around those areas, so they're getting much more publicity out to the game. GTA4 topped any console game that has ever been out in it's first week, at least I believe. Not sure if it beat Guitar Hero but I'm pretty sure, haven't checked my statistics.

    Either way it's sold about 100 times more than AoC.... but the amount AoC has sold is pretty darn impressive for MMORPGs.

    I dont count copies sitting on the Retailer shelf - waiting to be sold to a player

    as a vailid representation

     

    Retailer shipments and Player sales are 2 different things

    TL;DR version of what I just stated: When measuring a company's sales, retailer shipments are considered the same thing as player sales, at least that is how every single professional gaming company on the market sees it.
