Rockstar Games could sell ice to eskimos. L.A. Noire is a niche of niche games, yet it sells 550k first day between 2 console. Wow!
Great analysis of sales numbers! Who is it, this William D'angelo? What nickname on the forums? I agree, 5 million copies lifetime. Incredible.
@aken, you can arrest the wrong person. Some cases makes you interrogate two people, and you have to decide which one to book. Anyways, great numbers.
It's a pretty big opening for a new IP. Rock Star should be satisfied with it. Not every game is going to sell like Red Dead Redemption / Grand Theft Auto. But, far from the biggest opening this year. Pokemon Black / White sold 1.9 million it's first week in the United States, 2.7 million its first week in Japan, and 740k EMEAA. I'm glad to see this game performing well though. The industry is in desperate need of a block buster title.
This is biggest first week launch numbers for both the Xbox360 and PS3 this year? Wow, that's rather modest, although I'm not surprised. I guess Pokemon Black and White remain the largest first week launch of the year for a single platform.
That's awesome! I'm having a blast so far with it!!
Needs more fail... no really, it'd be more fun if you could fail and arrest the wrong person of just fail to make an arrest.
Nice...
of course its going to sell more on 360
hmm maybe its a rockstar thing instead forget my last post. Looks like there are also problems on the 360 too
Yes because developers only care about rate sold to the installed based. Bottom line is they care about overall sales, which I'm sure the PS3 will win WW anyways.
@Mr Puggsly- Actually, if you calculate the sales per console in America, it actually sold better on the PS3. 31.6 mil Xbox360's sold to date in America divided by 330,000 copies of the game = 1 game sold per 95.75 Xboxes. For PS3 (19.7 mil / 220,000 games) it was 1 game sold per 89.5 PS3's.
Not bad, I thought PS3 might have some edge given the advertising and genre. But 360 ran away with it in Americas.
Impressive for a new title! I'm really enjoying it so far.
Well I am one of those 550 000 buyers. I was actually nicely surprised to get a 10$ gift card from Best Buy for purchasing the game too..
L.A. Noire is awesome so far! I just found a blog that's giving out the DLC for all the extra cases! I just got my Slip Of The Tongue Case DLC, but I don't know if there's anymore DLC codes left. If you want to check it out, here's the site: http://freelanoiredlc.com.nu
@Reebokanonymous Thats too bad, this game has a $20 dollar promotion, which means you can get a 20 dollar game for the extra ten you pay now instead of waiting.
This game is so addictive...back to gaming.
Good sales. I'm going to keep the thought in my head that some day, it will reach 8 million combined sales, though :P
Not bad
And it deserves every one of these sales and more!
Better than I expected what with the lack of multiplayer. As for me, I'll be one of the cheapskates to wait until it's $20.
thats good. then again it is rock star!
Nice!
