For those predicting 'growth' in Warhammer over the next few months...

Warhammer has now dropped completely out of the top 100 of video game sales.  It was #1 for about 3 days, then held in the top ten for another week, then hovered in the 50 and 60s for two weeks.. but now it's no longer listed on the main games page.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/videogames/ref=pd_ts_vg_ldr_videogames

Not nearly enough box sales to replace the 25ish% that Warhammer will lose in a few days when the free month is up, and another non-small loss when Wrath launches.

The critical mass needed for RvR is not being met on most servers, and isn't likely to be met any time soon.

Try linking the PC games bestsellers, rather than including every other video game on the market to make things seem the sky is falling and Mythic is curling up in the fetal position.

The Warhammer Online : Age of Reckoning SE is ranked at #9 in PC game sales.

Yet it's # 9 for PC games. Five of which are pre-orders and three of those five are for the same game, Fallout 3.

And yet, again, for online PC games it's #2 after, again, a pre-order game WoW:Wrath of the Lich King. So it's actually the # 1 selling non pre-order on-line PC game going.

And another edit:  That "top 100 game sales" actually includes 29 pieces of hardware.  You know, things like game consoles, cable sets, console controllers, and time cards.

You really need to bone up on your investigative skills OP.

Yea, it's not like the content is dependent on the game's population.  ..oh

You are right MYTHIC is in trouble. Although the que time on my server is increasing everyday. Still i think this FACT is going to kill WAR. OH NO!!!!!!!!!

He's from AoC..

what did you expect??  A positive view of the outlook of WAR? Or someone seeing that his game sucks.. and WAR is doing MUCH better than AoC..

What do you think??

AoC forums are that way <---------------

You are missing the point.

In the first week..  Warhammer was in the top 10 of ALL games..  meaning it was selling a lot of copies.  Now it is not in the top 100.  This shows a drastic drop in box sales.

This has nothing to do with 'comparisons' to other games.. it has everything to do about a drastic drop in sales.  

This week, warhammer is not selling anywhere near the number of boxes it sold in the first week.

Let me put it his way..    3 weeks ago I ran a marathon against 1000 people and came in 10 place, but I placed 2nd in my 'age bracket'.     This week I ran another marathon against 1000 people and came in 200th place, but again, I placed 2nd in my 'age bracket'.    Is it not easy to see that I did much much worse in the second race, even though my own little bracket remained the same?

Go Nancy Drew!!

more people bought Nancy Drew omg ... so buying it now

yeah.. go look at my posts in AOC.  :)

If we are gonna make weak arguements against the OP, why not this one against you guys? It's also the #1 best selling games  with the initials W A R? Come one guys, if you cross out all the competition, of cours its gonna be #1. No consoles, no non-mmos, no pre-orders, then what are you stacking up against? what else has benn released? AoC? aWe could all out do that. As for the " WAR is over 500k in sales so far",  we got that from LoTRO too. And how awesome is that?

A straw man argument is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position. To "set up a straw man," one describes a position that superficially resembles an opponent's actual view, yet is easier to refute, then attributes that position to the opponent. For example, someone might deliberately overstate the opponent's position. While a straw man argument may work as a rhetorical technique—and succeed in persuading people—it carries little or no real evidential weight, since the opponent's actual argument has not been refuted.

*Watches the WAR fanboys descend upon the still twitching corpse of the OP.*
