Desslock's RPG site has published an interesting list, concerning the sales figures for RPG's in 2001 (February to November 7th):
Diablo 2: Lords of Destruction 576,143 copies
Diablo 2 306,422 copies
Dark Age of Camelot 115,894
Baldur's Gate 2 103,144
EverQuest Kunark 92,172
Baldur's Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal 85,451
Baldur's Gate 1 83,208
Arcanum 69,522
Pool of Radiance - Ruins of MD 55,211
EverQuest Velious 66,496
Anarchy Online 47,356
No real surprise in there, is it? Apart from the fact that sales numbers are relatively low - apart from the big sellers like BG, Diablo and EQ. Dark Age of Camelot has a tremendous start and will certainly run well.
Desslock also discusses Wiardry 8 in this article and why he thinks the game could have made much more money. |
