Playstation Tablet 1,731 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I know its a online game, but still, Andromeda didnt do that great. Anthem topped the UK boxed game sales chart during its first week of release, but with half the physical sales of BioWare's previous game Mass Effect Andromeda. Without digital sales through EA's Origin service on PC, or download sales on PlayStation or Xbox, it's difficult to draw exact comparisons. But from the comparisons we can make, Anthem's sales do not paint a hugely positive picture. Anthem only managing half the launch week sales of Andromeda is disappointing, as Andromeda only managed half the launch week sales of Mass Effect 3. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2019-02-25-anthem-physical-sales-half-mass-effect-andromeda The EA game performed best on PS4, accounting for 54 per cent of sales. 40 per cent came on Xbox One, with the remainder on PC. The game sold comfortably more than last week's big new games, including Far Cry: New Dawn and Metro Exodus. But it isn't the fastest-selling game of the year, that is a position currently held by Resident Evil 2 and then Kingdom Hearts III. Of course, as an online-focused game, it's likely Anthem performed well as a download release. The charts data does not currently factor in digital sales, making any meaningful analysis impossible. https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2019-02-25-anthem-tops-uk-boxed-charts Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,241 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Someone brought that up in the Beastcast. If the initial sales bomb, what are the chances that EA pulls the plug on it and not bother to make substantial fixes for it? Maybe they'll just go straight to a Anthem sequel.
