I'm totally serious. Don't you know. I'm a fanboy. That's the kind of thing I would think up because i'm in a delusional trance about SWTOR that makes me believe anything is possible.

Seriousness noted. But we'd better start educating mosquitos about currency and the StarWars IP and how massive mosquito online rpg's are so awesome in order to meet eleventy billion V_V

Simply put, how many boxes/downloads does TOR sell this yr. Should be interesting to look back at this thread after next month.

 

I am going with 2.2M

2.2m is too high. It will be over a million for sure. As of nov 12th there are 865,669 preorders for it. It hasn't updated yet and I assume it is over 900k. My guess is with the way numbers have been going 1.2m

That's US only^

And only physical copies sold

Yes, but that was the topic: "boxes sold" rite?

 

OP seems to imply digital included...

Oh crap ... went with the topic title ...

In that case: 4.5 million total copies sold before 1 - 1 - 2012

Of course, but that doesn't mean we can't have a little game with this.

Most people seem to forget about the Christmas sales.

I would expect EA to update some sales figs after Cyber Monday, maybe again at the new year.

I'm pretty sure that only takes into account actual box copies sold in Retail stores.... doesn't include the copies EA sold through Origins...

Now that the NDA is lifted you'll probably going to see a surge in sales this month...

And everyone seems to forget what Christmas is about, it definately isnt about sales.

5+ million easily.TSW figures to sell 150+ million in sales so that is approx 3 million boxes and they sounded confident.SO if TSW can sell even half that at 1.5 million SWTOR wil leasily sell 5+ million.

Eleventy thousand . More than a million for sure.

It is if you're a marketer, without question, all about sales.

1 copy for sure, because i did pre-order !!!

Two copies.

I'm going with 1.4 in the first week counting digital sales. Then it is long tail from there.

No wonder the morales of this planet is on an ever decreasing spiral with people like you about.

I'm sorry, but your argumentum ad hominem is fundamentally flawed.

Commercial bias and "morales (sic)" are not causally related with each other.

I'm going to have to go with 2 million plus boxes plus whatever digital sales. It's at 865k already just from US box pre-orders, meaning the total is already likely upwards of 1.7 milion if you add those from Europe and the rest of the world. God knows how many digital sales there will be but it wouldn't surprise me if they end up matching or exceeding the box sales.

Do they not, well i'm not going into a religious arguments on what goverment and capiltilsm has done to family values in this thread, but I do ask you to sit back and think about it, engage your brain before your mouth.

In other words, you launched an offensive because I noted a simple observation on the nature of marketers?

I'd be interested in how you arrived at the conclusion that making a profit is somehow immoral inherently.  I suspect that you won't be able to find a direct source that agrees with that viewpoint.

But, we're treadiing into thread-closing territory here.  I think I'll pass.  Apologies to mod-persons.

  Someone got a knited sweater for Christmas last year.

 I think this year you should go buy something nice for yourself, perhaps a copy of Swtor ... then let us know so we can update the count of which this thread is discussing.

Whenever I feel Holiday ho-hum,  I just go out and buy things ... I'm a good consumer.

3 to 4 millions worldwide by the end of the year. I was thinking of these numbers 6 months ago.
