Meshugger Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 Everywhere i read about KotOR, there's always some praise about how a commercial success it was, but i have yet to see any numbers on the amounts of copies sold to this date. Anyone who knows this, care to post a link?

Adria Teksuni Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 Let's see... Here's Awards... http://www.bioware.com/games/knights_old_republic/awards/ The only sales information I can find is from last year, though. http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/4677/Star-Wa...ks-Record-Sales Never assume malice when stupidity is to blame.
Meshugger Posted May 20, 2004 Author Posted May 20, 2004 270 000 copies sold on the xbox within two weeks? Sounds like great numbers IMHO, but still far off compared to Diablo or the Sims.

Adria Teksuni Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 PC games generally sell more than X-Box, I think I remember reading somewhere, due to the fact that more than one type of PC can play that platform, whereas there's only one X-Box. Ah well. It's been rated as the 4th best selling console game ever released. Never assume malice when stupidity is to blame.
kumquatq3 Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 It's been rated as the 4th best selling console game ever released. I find it hard to believe it beat out the likes of Ocarina of time, Mario 3, Halo, GTA3, MGS2, GTA:VC, etc
Adria Teksuni Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 As I recall, Halo was the 2nd... *digs into Google to refresh memory* Never assume malice when stupidity is to blame.

Adria Teksuni Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 (edited) Hmmmm....Found it. Oops. Sorry. Due to the game rankings a couple of weeks after it's release, KoTOR was then rated 4th by game REVIEWS, not sales. It also said that these go up and down like mad, so it's not 4th anymore. My mistake, so sorry!!!! LOL, and now I see the Game Rankings post! 23 isn't bad! Edited May 21, 2004 by Adria Teksuni Never assume malice when stupidity is to blame.
Meshugger Posted May 21, 2004 Author Posted May 21, 2004 Here's the link to the gamerankings webpage, and there it states that KotOR is ranked 23rd in terms of review-score ratio (94.2%), not in sales.

Adria Teksuni Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 Groovy. Thanks so much! Never assume malice when stupidity is to blame.
Drakron Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 270 000 copies sold on the xbox within two weeks? Sounds like great numbers IMHO, but still far off compared to Diablo or the Sims. Try 1.2 million copies that FF X-2 sold in TWO days in Japan.

Try 1.2 million copies that FF X-2 sold in TWO days in Japan. As i said, pretty impressive, but not astounding.

Drakron Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 1.2 millions is a lot, no game have such results in two days. Xbox sold very few in Japan, if I remenber it sold about 100,000 units and since PS2 market is about 70% of the console market I serious doubt the Xbox (that have 15-20% of the market) titles can sell enough to reach any "top 10" numbers compared with PS2 sales.

I was referring to my own statement on how much KotOR sold, not FF X-2 <_< "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy
kumquatq3 Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 iirc, I think Mario 3 for NES has sold the most copies of any game
Opus131 Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 1.2 millions is a lot, no game have such results in two days. Try the 2 millions of Diablo 2 preorders... Opus131
