i got it from CDKeys its like 25% cheaper than the xbox store its a good game takes couple hours to get used to it tho
IT ARRIVES TOMORROW SO HYPE!
2 million players seems an odd boast here as you have to buy it this to be a player. No PS+, GP freebies, so surely, 2million sales in less than a week? That's great. Say that.
Ehhh if it were all sales... They would have said sales
A single game can be played with multiple profiles on consoles
Either way, its obviously moving some serious numbers quickly.
True. Yet, 1.5 million sale still sounds great. I dunno, I'm just kinda bored with "players" numbers.
Sales numbers have not always been the best way to tell the performance of the game either because of the different price points throughout a games lifespan. A certain number of people may buy a game at launch, but then you see sales numbers go way back up again if the game is on a 50% discount. Didn't make anywhere near as much money as launch even if actual sales numbers were similar.
Right but I'm not really looking for numbers of players, sales are sales and this game hasn't had the chance to be 50% yet. You could spout 2.5 million players but only 15 online a week later as your game sucked and everyone got it on GP or PS+ for free, people tried it then left.
This isn't, it's 1 week of potential 2 million sales for a £60 game. 120 mil in the first week in revenue? That's more impressive than 2million players to me.
I understand why they say it and I understand why sales aren't the be all but I know what I'm more impressed by.
This game has been the closest we'll get to a modern Xbox 360 era shooter. It's been such a fantastic experience! Embracer execs punching air right now lol
