SH4 Unseats The Sims 2 as North Americas' Top Selling PC Game

Quote:
The Silent Hunter series sequel Wolves of the Pacific snatches away the top PC sales spot from The Sims 2: Seasons in a surprise upset this week, while S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl also debuts to impressive sales numbers in the U.S. and the UK. Amazon additionally reports a steep rise in preorder interest for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: Shivering Isles and Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, both of which will see release in the UK and the United States early next week.

Maybe the good sales will make Ubisoft see there is a demand for expansions, after all $$$ talks.

ReM 03-26-07 08:00 AM
An upset for sure!

I'm baffled...:o

Yeah, and maybe the sales will convince Ubi to stop trying to kill the franchise with early releases. :) If they keep enough of the devs on SH4 and patch it up (finish it), I won't have any complaints.

Meanwhile, the ONLY thing that will ensure another Silent Hunter game is good sales, so this is welcome news. :yep: Anytime a simulation can reach the #1 spot in sales, it is a great day. People in the industry will notice this.

Bingo. Just hope the awful state of SH4 doesn't turn a lot of these people off from buying a future release.

Yea, it looks like ubisoft is the only big game publisher that is releasing any type of quality sim- IE IL2 series, SH3/4

Hopefully other quality publishers will get the idea thats sims sell rather well, and get some healthy competition.

Pretty sure the SimHQ folks would disagree there, but it's moot.

Hopefully this means UBI will allow for the developers to release more patches than with Silent Hunter 3. I truly hope so.

difool2 03-26-07 08:21 AM
Very surprising. I thought this series was very much a niche series of titles. Well if they
stay at or near the top for the next month then I'll be really impressed.

Mud 03-26-07 08:29 AM
SH4 is a quality game, even with the bugs.
I never saw so many detail in any sim I've played and I'm having a blast with it.
Unfinished yes but we must treasure this kind of simulations 'cos there aren't much around these days and I'm affraid that in the future the consoles games win and simulations become really rare.
