MW3 and Skyrim. : V

» Fri Nov 12, 2010 5:36 pm

No im not about compare them, that's foolish.

But something has to give, MW3 is releasing 3 days before Skyrim does, sure to affect sales and what not.

So is Skyrim going ahead for the eleventh?

Of course, MW3 will just take away the CoD players. Thats a good thing.

But what if we like both?

Not sure that matters with a Singleplayer game...

I'm getting both and taking two weeks off from work.

Nicely said, I like both and will eventually buy both, but first month I only buy and play Skyrim :rock:

I meant the "we should has gunz and mutiplayer so i can pwnz all teh noobz" CoD players.

Yeah, I don't think it'll make much difference. The people psyched for Skyrim will buy it anyway, and so will those who want MW3. If people want both enough then it'll be an expensive month.

Skyrim first playthrough then COD

Different fanbases altogether, and those who really love both will get both (even if they get one slightly later than the other)

I fail to see why people keep bringing this up.

Two completely separate genres of video games. If MW3 reduces Skyrim's sales, it will only be temporary. People will come back to buy Skyrim later once they get the money

Fan-bases are becoming very vague nowadays, especially since most games are crossover genres, even if they are "different", both are big games nevertheless.

I think this is going to cause a set back unfortunately.

The Elder Scrolls series has a very well established and loyal fanbase, as does the Call of Duty series. Of course there's a lot of crossovers... but I really don't see an Elder Scrolls fan looking at the release date of MW3 and deciding never to purchase Skyrim.

You guys are putting waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much thought into this.

Nah, when too large games collide usually one just moves its release date, im just wondering if Bethesda is staying where it is (hopefully).

Actually thats more when a small game collides with a large one, Bethesda probably wont.

I reserved both and I am getting them...is going to be the best weeks and months of this year, specially with Skyrim :tops:

» Fri Nov 12, 2010 1:01 pm

Seeing as they are completely different game styles, I don't see why the sales would be effected at all.

So?

Why wouldn't it?

November has been jam-packed with "big releases" for years now. Having other big titles release the same week as Skyrim shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. And the whole "11/11/11" thing isn't something you'd move away from, not for something trivial like "OMG! Another game the same week!"

Sad thing is, MW3 will probably get more sales than skyrim. Also, minecraft will release in 11/11/11 too.

Why so much hostility?

I don't see what Mechwarrior 3 has to do with Skyrim.

I've been very concerned about this. Can someone tweet Pete please?

» Fri Nov 12, 2010 8:12 pm

Sheesh...New threads about GTA and MW3 release dates popping up in the Skyrim forum almost daily. Who cares, totally different kind of game.

Ah, i dont quite reach that level, TES players tend to be more sophisticated than that :]
