Salesfigures Arcanum??

I was wondering with all the monstersales of Warcraft 3 and other games: how well or bad did arcanum??
How many copies where sold?? Does anybody know??
Just curious :wink:

 

I don't know actual salesfigures etc but it got rpg of the year and other awards from multiple gaming sites/mags so it had hit somewhat big

 

Warcraft 3 and Diablo 2 type games are on a whole other level than the rest of the pack. The Sims, too for that matter.

If I had to guess, I'd say that Arcanum has sold somewhere around 100,000 copies, maybe less. The only thing I could find on Google was this old article dated Aug 2001 that states Arcanum has sold just under 70,000 copies to date.

 

Not good...

 

Arcanum sold approximately 100.000.


Blizzard must be stinking rich :nod:

 

Gee, I hope it's enough for a sequel. It's not going well with Vivendi, the owner of Sierra, so I hope Troika will survive.

 

From what I understand you have to sell at least 140,000 before most will even consider a sequel uch:

I heard some companies want you to sell at least 250,000

 

Yeah. Besides, Troika's already moved on to another project, I think. Lionheart, I think.

 

Vivendi owns Sierra too?
I knew they owned Blizzard...

 

What? Reflexive is making Lionheart, with Black Isle assisting or something like that. BIS is going to publish.

But yes, Warcraft 3 and Diablo 2 are a whole other level. Selling a million copies in a week is no mean achievement. GTA3 sold something like $350 million worth of copies between the PS2 and PC worldwide, which is pretty damn fucking good. EB also estimates that 4 million pre-orders have been placed for GTA: Vice City. Yes, 4 million.

 

What is GTA: Vice City? Expansion? GTA 4?

 

It's the expansion for GTA3, the with a lot of :minigun:

 

I thought it was a completely new game. onder: Oh well. I will have buy it anyway.

 

WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG

You can't make expansions for a Playstation or any other console game because you don't install anything.

It's a whole new game. It takes place in a copy of Miami in the 80s.

 

At least Etalis knows his gaming news .

Vivendi is a pretty massive company - owns Universal Studios (you know, the movie company) as well as several of the well known and more successful game studios and publishers - Sierra and Blizzard are just a couple of their companies. I don't know any more, but I do know they have them.

 

Actural Arcanum did all right as it is than game which does appeal to than lot
of people anyway.

 

Oops , I thought it was the multiplayer add-on for GTA3 PC version (saw it in a dutch magazine), But offcourse It's a playstion game so ít can't be add-on. Thanks for setting this right, Craftlord.

Stupid of me, I'm just not a console gamer.
