Defiance didn't sell to well

[JonDav]

vgchartz.com is entirely retail sales.

I don't know where the 600k+ number came from.

Here are the retail sales for Defiance on the PC and they are pathetic:

06th April 2013 1 53,551 N/A 53,551
13th April 2013 2 15,725 -70.6% 69,276

Defiance is a huge bomb. Those are terrible multiplatform numbers.

I'm pretty sure the author posted a typo. The 690k should have been 69k. Like I said before, they should not have released a half-finished product at the same time as a huge title like Bioshock Infinite. BI sales on just one platform (doesn't matter which one you pick) sold twice as much as Defiance on all three platforms combined. The people behind the game should have known better....

not to mention that half the ppl who bought this game have already quit. i play on xbox first week had about 12 ppl on friends list playn. last week 5 ppl. tonight 2 ppl. this game is almost dead already.

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.

Can you people learn the difference between 'too' and 'to' please... ? Idc if Defiance didn't sell well according to inaccurate articles, but get your spelling correct at least... As for people quitting outta Defiance, no MMO is perfect WHATSOEVER. You want a perfect MMO than make your own...

Well, those total sale numbers being accurate and meaningful or not for just physical copies I fear they're going to be way off on at least PC and PS3. I personally bought my copy from the PS store, and I noticed that Defiance is on Steam. Steam being a MASSIVE outlet for digital downloads pretty much makes that PC sale number meaningless. I think I saw it on the top sellers at one point, though that usually only matters if it manages to stay on that list for a while.

Either way, i'm not worried. People do actually buy bits, and other optional paid items/boosts far more than you would think. There are Free to play MMORPGs that make far far more through their cash shops than a majority of the numerous subscription based ones. That's not me doing internet research, rather it's what i've been doing since I started internet-ing. MMOs I mean, not paying for everything I see. If I personally did have rich parents with limitless credit cards growing up, I would have a large saltwater swimming pool and possibly a house in the country for privacy, with said swimming pool. (And now I want to go swimming. )

So yeah again, not worried yet. :P

Are you the grammar police? Because we all know that spelling is the important part of the topic.

Police? Hardly, I'm a forum lurker, and this lurker doesn't like dwelling around THAT obvious of SPELLING incorrections... Yes I know your doing sarcasm dearest...

sounds like to me it is doing just fine. They compared a known IP(Halo 4) to a brand spanking new one.

It is a game forum, not school, stop being a self absorbed pretentious p****, that feels the need to correct peoples spelling. Or better yet dont read the forum if your fragile brain can not handle some misspelled words.

Why would you want to sell a game to a well?

"TOO"

Wasn't War Z a commercial and critical flop?? It got pulled off Steam.

It is back on steam now. And now it seems that they really want to please their customers. Like adding fan demands and stuff like that

Ps.

I hate grammar polices, this is internet and not english school
