Sales are in: Alien Isolation with 362K in it's first week (not inclduing digital sales)

It's from VGChartz, so some consideration should be taken within this news, but it's probably mostly accurate.

"The survival horror game Alien: Isolation sold 362,643 units first week worldwide. More than half of the sales were on the PlayStation 4, where it sold 185,073 units. The game sold 85,744 units on the Xbox One, 47,563 units on the PlayStation 3 and 44,363 units on the Xbox 360."

It doesn't include digital sales, so I wouldn't be surprised if the game got to around 400K first week. It's actually very good start for a hard hitting, classic survival horror like this one. Hope it has legs and makes enough so that developers can get a chance to do the sequel.

I hope word of mouth makes this a genuine sleeper hit. Wonder what the Steam numbers are.

Although I have yet to complete the game, currently in the first bit of mission 17, so far I have really enjoyed the experience. One of the reasons I believe some reviews have given some negative feedback is from them having to play the game in concertrated doses versus spreading out game play sessions.

Definitely would welcome an sequel or even have CA tackle Aliens.

vgcharts are utterly useless, not just inacurate but completely useless.

Heh, this list doesnt even include PC sales! Where it was listed as the 2nd best selling game on PC. But not sequel, now its time for ALIENS - THE GAME. Time they make James Camerons film some justice. A cool hard horror FPS shooter is what I want.

I just hope that it will reach around 1 ~ 1,5 million sales. I guess that would be a good number to greenlight a new game by Creative Assembly. I doesn't really need to be a sequel, but these guys clearly understand the Alien franchise; I could see love for the movies and the universe oozing from each corner of Isolation.
