Good enough, hope it has great legs.
Easily cleared 300k with digital I assume. Excellent game. On my second play-through now to get the achievement completion. Hoping the legs are great.
Honestly not THAT bad, thought it would do around 190k in USA and around 300k WW
Now let's see NPD
Not bad.
Do I believe that? I'm not sure. Feels lower than it should be. But I guess new IP, simultaneous PC release, digital sales, small install base outside the USA. Probably equals an all right start.
Actually seems like on par with Wii U game sales. Not too great. But decent. What was the budget?
Probably a Normal Triple A's Budget, i think that is between 40-80 Millions of US$.
It seems a little weird to me, that with several reports that the game top charts on France, Italy, Uk, and being above Dirt Rally in Spain, Dirt Rally (PS4) have outsold QB by a good margin in Europe.
I think is a little undertracked.
Not mind-blowing, but decent enough. Hope it has good legs, and congrats to remedy!
Why is this getting disliked? From 4 to 1.
this game should have performed pretty well in digital sales considering that W10 version of the game was included for free plus alan wake plus alan wake dlc plus alan wake nightmare. It wouldn't surprise me if digital sales are close enough with retail sales.
Alan wake was better but Quantum Break was a good attempt at something really cool but overall I didn't like it as much as I hoped. Its good to see people like the concept, idea and story direction with the sales.
I hope future DLC will add something that was missing, an awesome ending.
Digital sales for this game should be good
Here's hoping this is good enough for now.
I think it should have been alot higher given the hype and that this is one of the few X1 exclusives out in a while.
I expected a lot more considering the Microsoft PR on it.
It is true though
Allan Wake didn't do all that better, so this is "above average" for Remedy...
wow huge bomb lol
That doesn't sound that great for what was probably a very expensive game. I'd love to know how much that live action production added to the bottom line.
Is this really good news? AAA game that has had years of hype? The numbers should be better than this.
Only 146K in the US? Whoa.
It has already fallen extremely fast. I expect no more than 500, 000 total until it gets discounted and given away for free in the next Xbox multiple games bundle that will be available this fall.
