latest sales figurs

Post » Wed Sep 01, 2010 4:44 pm

idk how reliable vgchartz is, but its the only thing i have to go off of.

so far the 360 version is almost at 500k
ps3 version almost at 200k

these are worldwide numbers.

i know there was several people who were saying they traded this game in already or had friends that abandoned the game, but for having such bad press at release + the psn being down + l.a. noire release...700k in two weeks isn't that bad. i know a lot of my ps3 friends who were waiting to get l.a. noire and infamous so they chose to skip this all together.

at least bethesda didn't use an online pass (like e.a.) so that used copies will be bought.

I'd imagine PC to have the most sales.

I mean no offense when I say this, but 360 players aren't buying too much because they're too controlled by CoD.

ps3 players aren't buying too much because the ps3 version's not the best, combined with the initial PSN problems, it wasn't very attractive.


And Steam never releases sales figures. They never have and most likely never will :/

are you kidding me?? you think this game sold well on p.c.?? they barely have 40k.

idk any game that actually sells well on p.c. that gets ported to consoles.

and from what lensoftruth.com said, the ps3 version was clearly the superior of the console versions.

and it's a fps - of course it will sell decent on 360...even if most people play cod. heck, even homefront reached over 1.4 million on 360 alone vs. 570k on ps3 and 100k on pc. same with crysis 2 - 810k on 360, 560k on ps3, and only 200k on pc.

I hope it will have a strong core players who wont abandon it. Even on the ps3 which I have.
If they keep supporting it with free updates and patches it will have a long life. (Im talking about free abilities and such, skins can be paid)

Its not a port. This game was made for all three equally.


They need to improve the matchmaking. Its hard for me to believe that over 499,990 have stopped playing this game. Im getting less and less full 8v8 matches these days.

on the second or third day there was about 15,000 players online according to steam. I find it very hard to imagine with time differences and such that even 1/4 of the people that bought the game were on at one time. they mus have at the very least sold 80k for pc by now.

I attribute the PSN outage to why it didn't move as many units for PS3. But yea, 700K in two weeks is solid for a brand spanking new IP. Even with the bad press, majority of people who are still buying the game now are the ones who are listening to what us, the "die hard" Brink players are saying. Because we're objective with how we view the game. We all know it's far from perfect. But we also know the game is fun to play, and is a welcomed change from the "cookie cutter" FPS games on the market. When a person hears from their friend, co-worker or relative that a game is worth playing, they tend to take their word more then some hack review site.

I'm a PS3, and I have 9 people on my FL who play Brink. It's not much, but the guys who I play with in turn...have people THEY play with, and so on. And hence is how the Brink Community on all platforms is forming, though I think it's forming a bit faster on the PS3 since a VAST majority of MAG players (of which I am) are Brink players as well, since both games focus on team play and tactics rather then run & gun action. And as I've said before in other threads, there have been far worse games that have earned sequels. Anyone ever play Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights? I wish I hadn't...because it was the sequel to a HORRIBLE racing game...that wasn't as horrible, but wasn't very good either. I think the game barely moved 3 million units TO DATE...and it came out in 2007. I thin Brink's gonna do juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust fine, folks. It won't dethrone CoD as the best FPS game on the market (Battlefield 3 will be doing that), but it has...and is building it's own market and fan base...which is the most important aspect of a game's success of all.

No offense taken, but I don't know what you're gettin' at here. I know a LOT of people that hate CoD.

I, for one, don't hate CoD, but I don't love it like the 12 year olds do. I buy every game that looks like it will entertain me.

Duke Nukem Forever and Battlefield 3 will be played by me well before MW3, and probably many other games.

I like Brink because, the younger generation, or squealers, that think your K/D is important will most likely stay away from this game.

I haven't been able to buy the game yet, but hopefully before the summer is over you can add one more sale to the ps3 version!
