Defiance didn't sell to well

[r3dl4nce]

Yeah but one of those Ms stands for multiplayer and the group content in Defiance is lacking to say the least.

7 coop instances
2 (3) pvp BGs
Shadow War for open PvP
Arkfalls

Yeah, lacking for a game released less than a month ago... LOL!

The question is if people will stick around, or if more sales can be had.

It's a B2P game. There is not monthly fee, when people buy the box/game code, it's ok. Then people can stop playing when they want and they will come back buying the DLCs/expansions, for curiosity and to test new content. And Trion gets money...

The sales for PC was about 69K, as others have stated. I believe those are boxed units, so the digital downloads are anyone's guess.

Game is on Steam, game is sold at great discounts on g2play, gmg, and so on. If they sold 69K retail boxes, there have been at least ten times that numbers in digital downloads, so 600K+ totals on PC.

PvP is not worth playing on PC as it's ruined by hacking. There are also so many shooters that are better for competitive games.

The co-op maps are well designed but they are so easy they are simply trivial. They also have a 4 player limit. A hard mode option would help here a lot.

What do you do with a guild? Arkfalls are a joke. I thought this was an mmo? Where are the mmo fights? You know, challenges to do with a large group of people. These damage sponge Arkfalls are hard to stay awake through.

Yeah, it's lacking. If you are new to co-op gaming I suppose you could think it's ok but I think it's time to remove your head from the sand when it comes to ignoring some very big problems with the game.

Notice how you felt compelled to throw in an excuse at the end with saying that a recent release justifies a lack of content? Yeah. Good games don't need excuses.

They should have had enough sense to know that if their game wasn't up to par, stay the heck away from Bioshock Infinite. In the same amount of time, BI sold twice as much (when only counting ONE platform) then defiance sold on 3. Also, tc made a mistake with his PC numbers. That should be 69,000 rather than 690,000

Is this a serious post?

Let's see a new online only franchise that is a TV show tie in VS A highly hyped sequel to what many people believe is the best game this generation. yeah, I'm sure many are shocked.

As to the low PS3 numbers, most people bought digital so they could game share it and play it online without bending over and taking it with XBOX LIVE Gold.

I own a PC, 360 and 2 PS3's. I digital downloaded for PS3 because I wanted to play it with my Son and it would have cost twice as much to do so on PC and we don't have XBL Gold, since the 360 is pretty much a dead system with nothing worth buying exclusive to it for going on 2 years now.

PC version is superior in every way however I did not want to spend $120 on a mediocre game.

I had to wait a week because it was sold out everywhere i went to, So i doubt the sales were that bad, they must have hit there target to have sold out. + revenue from the series they can't be doing that bad.

Defiance hasn't broken into the Major Nelson published list of top played xbox live games, not even launch week. So i'm not surprised.

If you read the site, those are the 360 only totals. *facepalm*

[iEatCookies]

360: 237,771
PS3: 88,150
PC: 69,276 <--based off that website. Guessing this number doesn't include DD at all. Most people prefer it. Probably a mix of that and a bad report.

What does "69k" look like if you mistakenly add/read/write a 0 after the 9?
