Not. I mean... are we supposed to be even surprised at this point?

[DOUBLE F]

Because unlike the other MK games, they launched on:
1. PC
2. PS4
3. XBOX One
4. Nintendo Switch

I don't think any other MK game had 4 platform launch.

Surprised a completely new IP like Days Gone topped an established franchise like MK.

Not trying to defend MK11, but Physical sales of games have been dwindling for awhile now, it's why GameStop is on the verge of Bankruptcy...

Not just that I am pretty sure more people bought it on all platform. MKX had been sold about 500k in the first year (on PC) and the contionous online population of that game in the first week was about the third or more like the quarter of what we have now with MK11. I have played that game from day one also.

This doesnt mean its a good thing. The backlash is really big at this point and the game is already on sale in various places. As an example MVCI sold more copies than UMVC3, but it lost money because of the backlash and the discounts. And now mvc is kind of dead. If this game doesnt fix all the crap in the short therm, this will destroy the prestige of NR and in the future it will take more effort to sell the games again. Not to mention that they said is the more succesful game at launch on MK franchise but they didnt say for how much. Kind of suspicious, maybe is just for a small margin and taking in account that this is in all platforms, that is not good.

You won't receive the exact figures, unless it comes directly from WB or NRS and despite the amount of copies it has sold digitally and physically, take it with a grain of salt.

I don't trust OAG to even begin with and anyone would lie even Ed.

No because most sales nowdays are digital many games dont even come on dvd any more(like assasin creed odysey and yakuza kiwami for example) and mortal kombat 11 was/is digital only on pc.

Digital games would have to make up for almost 50% drop in sales. It seems you're forgetting that fighting games are still considered as niche, compared to other genres.

No way they are beating MKX sales, with so much negativity. It is a loss for them.

That says more about gamers then about the games. Days Gone is another low budget crapfest.

For you it may be a crapfest, but any new license that overlaps an existing franchise, even a not so sequel in terms of sales scares you enough to say it is crap without even watching or viewing the game.

Action games are much more popular than fighters much more people play them. I for example, i play all action games(exceptt those by sony because they dont come to pc so i would had bought days gone if it was on pc) and most fighters. But most people play only action games and they dont care at all about fighters and because of that most fighters sell less than them. Maybe if they make a mortal kombat action game it might sell well.

Fighting games are less popular than adventure games.
