Joel, How many copies of WitE were sold in the first 24 hours? (If it's not too confidential) I bet it's some kind of record!

morganbj -> RE: How Many Copies Sold? (12/8/2010 2:10:18 PM)
Two. [X(] Seriously, they won't ever tell. But, you're right, it's a quite a few.

diablo1 -> RE: How Many Copies Sold? (12/8/2010 3:05:42 PM)
Only a few 100 I bet these monster games aren't that popular really. Now wait until Heroes of Stalingread or Panzer Command;Osfront is released then you'd feel thousands bought into those.

Even those these games get the most forum activity, they probably don't sell nearly as much as some of more easier to-get-into games.

I will be will to bet this game has out sold most Matrix titles on the first day. They set a record for the number of uses online yesterday, as people were waiting for the game to be released. Also, after playing it, I can say it is easy to get started, but very deep at first glance. WitE is to ground combat what WitP is to Naval and Air combat. If you like operational level games, then this is a must buy.

Flaviusx -> RE: How Many Copies Sold? (12/8/2010 4:27:43 PM)
They will never tell us this, but I'm pretty sure it is moving along quite nicely for a niche product. My own guess is in the thousands, not hundreds. This isn't World of Warcraft and won't have 12 million subscribers.

I would wager they hardly sold an inkling of the number of users 20001+ that were online at one time waiting to see the price.

I think that we would be surprised at how many copies have been sold so far. These guys know what they are about and what will be successful and what won't. While we will never know I am sure that they will be able to make their mortgage payment this month.

You think the game is too expensive,we got the message. Myself and most likely 1,000+ others think differently and have bought the game.[sm=00000976.gif]

No exactly a helpful form of discussion there diablo.

Does it matter one little iota how many games they have sold. I am sure the one you didn't buy will be purchased by someone else. Its your loss Diablo1, not theirs... Would like to stay and chat but I have game to play...[sm=scared0018.gif]

Hey, I play World of War Craft with my two adult sons. Civ V has me enthralled. Love GTA. But I own nearly every game Matrix has sold. They have a loyal following, no doubt. But I still think their biggest selling, and most fantastic game was "Democracy". It must be. I still remember how I felt when I bought and played for 3 minutes.

Rosseau -> RE: How Many Copies Sold? (12/8/2010 11:01:57 PM)
Funny, so do I. You get let down by many games today. WitE was always a keeper. After just a few hours last night, I was editing divisions, tweaking scenarios. It was an exciting discovery process. It's an East Front scenario creation kit.

(goes off to buy LOTS of games from Steam, Gamersgate, D2D and GOG) [:)]

Vasquez -> RE: How Many Copies Sold? (12/8/2010 11:34:46 PM)
I think the sales are pretty good. I know alone 4 guys who bought WiTE today and they even dont have a matrix forums account [:D]

crsutton -> RE: How Many Copies Sold? (12/8/2010 11:39:15 PM)
Heck, you can't even get a good hooker for $90 bucks, and we are talking about 15 minute of fun (don't lie) there.[:D] Seriously, I paid a lot of money for WITP-AE but it is nothing to the hundreds of hours of gaming that I have enjoyed for the past year. Gonna buy this one but not before I find a good lawyer because I suspect my wife is going to leave me. And, it is not beause of that hooker thing either......

My friend so enjoyed building soviet attachment units I think I found a Soviet game partner there. His brother got real creative and was already talking about borrowing his wife's Ipad so he can read/reference the rules on that while the game is up on the computer screen. So yea,I also know 5 people including myself who have bought or are about to buy the game. But that and $1.80 will buy a large cup of coffee.[:'(]

It's fine he doesn't like the game. But why does he feel the need to tell anyone about it? I prefer one great game (which WITE definitely is to me) to having many mediocre games. To each his own...�

jomni -> RE: How Many Copies Sold? (12/9/2010 1:33:24 AM)
go to the downloading thread and count how many pepole have made the download.

Nothing positive will ever come out of Diablo1. He must be a bottle baby[:D]

Sure, you can go to those places and scrape the bottom of the barrel, coming up with older games. Your not richer than any of us, that's a matter of an individuals opinion. Our perspective, which seems to be the majority, is that the price is just right. And we are thrilled with the product we are playing. A person gets what they pay for. If Matrix charged less than $70 for this monster I would have wondered about quality, and their collective sanity. BTW, what is the most you have ever paid for any game? Console or computer? I would just like to know, as I bet others would.

G.Boggon -> RE: How Many Copies Sold? (12/9/2010 10:18:41 AM)
I bought the game, and if it had it cost 200$ I would still feel richer for having done so. I think finding the time to play the game will be my problem. I am already spending 2h a day on WITPAE and the support is so fantastic on that game that I feel guilty that I have only had to pay for the game once.

Noakesy -> RE: How Many Copies Sold? (12/9/2010 12:25:23 PM)
Personally I would find it very interesting to know how many units are shipped by various games companies. I do not even have the foggiest what the market size is for this type of game. I can understand companies are a little reticent to let such information into the public domain (presumably for competitive reasons), but I would be interested to know how many other people are out there that have this game (having said that, I don't have it yet, will be in the New Year when hopefully some funds become available to do so, but the map looks stunning).[:)]

pompack -> RE: How Many Copies Sold? (12/9/2010 2:13:56 PM)
A new record! The games's not yet 48 hours old and I already have my first Green Button buddy! [:D] EDIT: and no disrespect to brother Noakesy, he was simply the last poster after I hit the button (many posts above)

barkman44 -> RE: How Many Copies Sold? (12/10/2010 2:00:12 PM)
let's put this in perspective,last week me and my wife invited my daughter and her boyfriend out to dinner,the cost was $104.00 for an item i ejected from my body 5 hrs later.this program will give me months if not years of enjoyment.like i said perspective viewing. quote: ORIGINAL: diablo1 quote: ORIGINAL: Neal_MLC Does it matter one little iota how many games they have sold.
