awful campaign. no wonder why. should have been MP only $20 PSN release. It is on there now but it's too late and it confuses people. Personally with how terrible the campaign is (its a demo) I can't really feel that sorry

180,000. Ouch. The sad thing is, this game killed Lightbox, and it's not even that bad,

I agree with fauzman where are all the warhawk people who wanted this sequel? This game is ten tiimes better than warhawk. People still play warhawk thats the sad part. The warhawk fanbase will be the only thing that will save this game and christmas holiday otherwise is a failure. What a shame great game.

Looks like this game will be a loss for sony. Pity. What the hell happened to all the people who were moaning about a sequel to Warhawk?

Omg this is so low. Incredible...

Well, I finally bought Starhawk about a fortnight ago now. Been playing it nearly every evening, absolutely stellar multiplayer. So many possibilities, each game is so different, it's really well made. The campaign is short & forgettable but that's not really the point of this game.

Hope it gets a sales boost some time, it deserves it.

This game is awesome, I dont own it yet but played the demo and it was killer.Hopefully warhawk fans will come back to this game and buy it, like I will.This is ten times better than warhawk and if true warhawk fans buy this game it will survive this slow start.Resistance 3 stumbled out of the gate with little commercials and advertising and is over 1mil now.So we will see a year from now warhawk started off slow to so we will see.

missed opportunity as far as i can see. They should have showed the trailer they showed in E3 a few times of TV. That would've done it. Here in the UK, less than 6000 people bought the game. Pretty much reflects what i thought which was that nobody knew about this game at all, and it retails at a price higher than some other releases. Nobody is going to buy it. This game isn't perfect and i have a few gripes myself, but its onlines reviews means this game should do at least as well as some other 8/10 games.

The sales are such a shame because this game is fantastic. The online is so fun and addictive.
Kresnik (on 02 June 2012)
Oh Starhawk, pull up your socks. 11,682 in Europe?! Will be 11,683 once I get paid, but I can't see you having a lasting community with so few players. Such a shame =/

Sony needs to advertise their games. Plenty of time has been placed in between the first party titles releasing. There is no excuse for a division that is seeing profit to not be spending on some marketing on the games that are going to drive people to their platform. This is disappointing to say the very least.
The game is amazing, should be selling better.

Horrible flop. Hope it'll have some legs.
axumblade (on 28 May 2012)
I agree with abhiram....I haven't seen a single trailer for this game.
abhiram_33 (on 27 May 2012)
sony needs to advertise these games
thewastedyouth (on 26 May 2012)
fail
krafty89 (on 25 May 2012)
Not even top 100 in Europe charts im pretty sure no-one even knows this game is out. 89th in the PS3 chart on Amazon in its 2nd week, most people won't go scroll that far. Not visible on zavvi without searching, oh its £37.95 as well so that didn't help.
JOKA_ (on 24 May 2012)
Wow I didn't even know this game had launched until I saw it on the front page sales charts. That might explain some of the low sales, people don't really know about it. Also, Diablo 3 + Max Payne 3 = not a great time to launch
Conegamer (on 22 May 2012)
Oh my, I was expecting much more...
paulrage2 (on 22 May 2012)
At least is better the Warhawk first week. I already bought my copie.
Jac0b (on 21 May 2012)
Never know, could be one of those ultra leg games what Sony sometimes gets lucky on (Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, LittleBigPlanet)
withdreday (on 21 May 2012)
Slow time for game sales if you look at the chart as a whole. Maybe this should have released in the summer.
chidori-chan2 (on 21 May 2012)
da fuck this sales??? That is too bad...but Sony does not know how to market a game.
hkKAZE (on 21 May 2012)
this did just release on the 11th so the numbers include only one day in EU so that's why it may look as though its selling more in Japan where it was released a day before.
JaxxRaxor (on 19 May 2012)
These are particular poor sales for a good game. I think Sony's failure to advertise for this game really hurt them.
TeddostheFireKing (on 18 May 2012)
Really sad to see such a poor first week for this great game, I'm loving it so far :(
Bristow9091 (on 18 May 2012)
Ouch, these EU sales are awful! How can a western game sell more in Japan than in EU, it's crazy! My prediction was 125-150k FW, however I did say I was being a little too optimistic... but damn it hasn't even made 100k with the Japanese numbers too when they come in! (It sold 12k in Japan by the way, or around that...)

So does anyone want to guess the LTD sales of this? I really hope it has legs but I doubt it, it's really going to struggle! Sony should have been advertising this instead of leaving it unnoticed, only to us internet people... maybe EU numbers next week will be better... if they're lower than FW then I've nothing left to say except this game bombed harder than... if I say it, it might upset some people so yeah, lol.
krafty89 (on 18 May 2012)
Yes while that is true i wouldn't expect these differences
Lets take some heavily American games and see the first week difference
GOd of war 3 U.S.A 692,000 Europe: 317,000
Infamous: USA 152,000 Europe 62,000
Twisted Metal: USA 227,000 Europe 12,000 (lol)
1st person and 3rd person games
Killzone 3: USA 264,000 Europe 193,000
Resistance 3: 135,000 Europe 74,000
Uncharted 3: 494,000 europe: 492,000

Yes Twisted metal numbers, the difference is quite funny but i wouldn't have expected it with a 3rd person shooter. How did it sell more in Japan? I'm just disappointed I guess, I thought it may trickle its way to 500,000. Lets just hope with the free DLC it was have Chun-li like legs
SunofKratos (on 18 May 2012)
At krafty89: Well USA and Europe have different tastes in games. And to be honest i expectet bad Eu numbers for the game.
Overall with Japan the game is about 100k units which is in line with my expections.
krafty89 (on 18 May 2012)
USA first week- 69,865
Europe first week- 9,918

Surely one of these wil be heavily overtracked or undertracked, i just don't understand the disparity between those numbers. E.U is PS3 land!
ljigga (on 16 April 2012)
Wow this game looks amazing and fun....first day buy for me
Jay520 (on 22 February 2012)
The beta rocks! I haven't had this much fun playing an online game in a long time.
Jay520 (on 02 January 2012)
I am hyped for this as well.
Mordred11 (on 30 August 2011)
This looks amazing!
ThePS3News (on 08 July 2011)
I am hyped for this. :)
