This wasn't in any subscription service right? so those are likely 5million buys.
Havn't played but only heard good things. Combat is supposedly really tight in this.
Players and sales are not one for one. There used to be a website called GamStat that was able to track exact player numbers on PSN and generally games had about 20-40% more players than the official sales numbers. This is because second hand sales generate more players, along with borrowing games from friends, account sharing and multiple accounts in the same household with one copy of the game.
But today with digital.... I guess thats alot less than it used to be back then right?
Big enough to warrant the devs saying players instead of sales it seems. Marketing carefully chooses the words they use.
Probably it is less now, and this game does best on Steam I believe.
This was what the Warhammer IP needed to kickstart it.
Second fave game if the year and deserved.
Game reminds me so much of the original Gears of War trilogy era (minus the cover system) making it feel like a game from a bygone era. Deserves all its success and more!
