something interesting I found at diabloii.net. ------------------------------------------- Interesting sales stats have surfaced at desslock's for RPG sales since February or since the game was released until November 7th. Keep in mind these figures are for US only. Diablo 2: Lords of Destruction - 576,143 Diablo 2 - 306,422 Dark Age of Camelot - 115,894 Baldur's Gate 2 - 103,144 EverQuest Kunark - 92,172 Baldur's Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal - 85,451 Baldur's Gate 1 - 83,208 Arcanum - 69,522 Pool of Radiance: Ruins of MD - 55,211 EverQuest Velious - 66,496 Anarchy Online - 47,356 Bear in mind some of those games haven't been out for that long - DAoC, BG2 and Pool of Radiance didn't see shelves until September, the top of the bunch, LoD, was released in June of this year and just four of the titles were out previous to February
Way to copy-paste man...that's been posted on about 6 sites that I know of...the TA main page (why did you post it again here btw?) Diabloii.net, VE3D, Vault13, the list goes on and on...
I hadn't seen it. I'm kind of a seek-and-destroy type surfer. I've never had any ability to randomly browse. I generally just go after specific stuff I want. Currently, that means I'm not looking at any RPG News sites and haven't been on TA since I moved to other games than Arcanum. Those stats are interesting, aren't they? I knew Diablo was huge (one minute on the realms is enough to tell you that) but didn't realise the size of the gap between it and the nearest others. Glad to see Arcanum's doing so well. Is this the full list, pspahn, or did you edit it? I only ask, because they appear in descending order of number of sales, except for Everquest, and I have a suspicious mind :wink:
afaik thats it, i'm sure theres some crap titles near the bottom tho. yea i did just copy paste it, sorry for wasting your time for reading something you shouldn't have clicked because you'd already seen it. thank you, flame on.
additional thingies... To add to that, here are some of the part of what pspahn420 posted, basically the news is about Wizardy 8. "While there's no doubt that Wizardry 8 is a hardcore RPG, which likely wouldn't appeal to as many gamers as more accessible RPGs, it's still a shame that the game isn't more widely available. This has been a great year for RPGs - both Arcanum and Pool of Radiance sold very well when initially released (more on that in a moment), and Dark Age of Camelot, the Diablo 2 expansion and the BG2 expansion all sold well too - there's probably never been a larger demand for RPGs, and someone is losing a lot of money by not having Wizardry 8 more broadly available." and oh, heres the site http://desslock.gamespot.com/#20011123-01 _________________ "After all is said and done, there is far more said than done." <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Skie88 on 2001-11-27 02:19 ]</font>
