Unfortunately 'tis not, and no plans to release on PC. There’s a thread over on capcom-unity requesting a PC version, which has very few posts.
so ur telling me gears of war 1 sold only 1.6 milion copies…i find
that hard to believe… wikipedia says its sold over 5 million…shrugs
obviously mygamercard is just putting out random numbers out there
quote:
As of September 18, 2008, the game has sold 5 million copies worldwide.[77]
Bummer. Not surprised but not all that happy either. Thanks.
But, you have to remember the 490,500 does not mean that the person bought the game half of that if not more are people playing on thae same 360
That does seem strange. Keep in mind however that since STHD Remix is a download only game then you could assume that everyone who bought it has played it while on XBL, allowing the 360 to update your online status. It’s possible that many people who bought GOW2 haven’t played it while connected online. That difference does seem a little too high though.
I’ve talked to devs who make XBL stuff and apparently there is no way to find out exactly how many copies of your game sold. You can do some tricks like check leaderboard status, but even those aren’t exact.
I sure as shit hope this sold better than 40k - it that’s all it’s going to be a massive loss for Capcom on this and really lessens the chances of a patch.
WTF? How is a developer to know how much return they will get/have got on a game if they can’t tell how many copies have been sold?! That seems ridiculous, I’m sure M$ would give them this information at the very least! Are developers asked to simply trust M$ when they are paid for their XBLA games?
I know, it sounds outrageous, but several developers from different companies have said as much. You basically get a check from MS every quarter based on their numbers.
Actually, that’s not true. They get a weekly report direct from Microsoft detailing several things including sales, players online, highest amount of players, lowest amount of players, average amount at any given point, when your players play the most/least, etc… stats heaven.
If you created original Xbox games, you’re still getting Live weekly reports about them online as well.
The quarterly check is correct, however.
Strange. I was told pretty much the opposite by a couple of people from different companies. Go figure. v:wonder:v
MS actually monitors how many copies DLable games push to determine marketing, and now, whether to keep the game available. So yeah, they not only can but do check how many are sold.
They lied.
Well, maybe the company I work for and the others that I talk to have different contracts or something. Perhaps smaller companies don’t get sales info… but honestly, I don’t see how any game company would trust the platform holder to not be greedy.
Not an accurate portrayal of sales by any means but my mates online ranking before he played any matches was 44,500 on xbox live. So im guessing it didnt sell as well as we had hoped for. Makes my ranking of 5000 seem even more terrible now…
It’s the top selling game on PSN. According to the top 10.
maybe capcom can get some bailout money for a patch??
selling 100k across both bothforms in a little over a week, is actually really successful for a dlc game not saying that is how many has sold, but i’m almost 100% positive its easily done over 100k spanning both platforms
and yes your theory is not accurate. you factor in that 45,000 and wonder if thats even close to the bottom of the rank, then you factor in the tons of players that just dont like ranked matches, then you factor in the people that dont have gold accounts, then factor in the people that just dont like playing online, period.
i’m told the game is selling extremely well
This is good news. It can only improve the standard with more players online. Iv come across some incredible players. Nobody really learns from easy wins, its only when you have to ‘figure’ somebody out and eek an opening against a difficult player that you begin to realise just how good this game can be.
Playing against a few mates casually and the CPU is not good for developing. This game is gonna be played daily for months…
they finally came out with numbers. hell yeah!

Hopefully that will motivate them to patch it soon…
