Defiance didn't sell to well

Sounds like this game didn't sell to well. According to that article, and in conjunction with VGChartz looks like this is the break down up to the ~ 2 week point

~240,000 sold on Xbox360
~ 70,000 sold on PS3
~ 690,000 sold on PC

Hopefully that is enough to keep the servers going, and that people are spending money in the Defiance store.

The author sounds a bit inexperienced about what he's talking about. Any game will look like its struggling if you compare it to Halo 4's sales. Here's some raw data across the board for all games:

Funny that us pc players are the huge bulk of the game sales but get the 2nd rate console UI and chat system.

Makes you wonder if they would have concentrated this as a PC exclusive game, if they extra money not spent on console royalties and what ever else they pay, could have gone to make a better PC MMO if they would have sold more games then they did currently. I don't play consoles, but isn't there like just 2 MMOs on the consoles which is Final Fantasy XI and XIV? Seems like MMOs are just not big business for consoles, where as they are for the PC.

+ add on that Steam + digital.

PC number is superior and sadly game goes with console rules

Exactly. Programming for the PS3 is a pain in the butt and the 360 network system is outdated.

that's actually not bad overall especially exluding digi sales

[Myst]

Nope. Those numbers never include digital sales. Looks like PC is the master race though.

/shakes fist/

i don't think so.

Also when you add all that up. Not bad for Defiance to be honest.

Ah gotcha.

Without digital sales what good does such a count of sales do?
This holds no information, no value at all.
There's no total and obviously comparing digital and disc sales isn't possible either.

Looks like PC is the master race though.

Hail PC!

Can we have actual keybinding and look speed options now?

those pc sales are way off http://www.vgchartz.com/article/2508...pril-defiance/

53k pc sales is horrible for a major mmo launch.,

Well, anyway.

PC gamers usually buy digital editions when possible. Defiance has been topping steam sales since it launched. And i bet steam sales are high always
