No surprise really but I still give credit to Dark Souls 2 for coming in at number 2

Magicite3685d ago

I think only reason why DS2 isnt first, is because too many people have died during Demons/Dark Souls times /s.

Weakness: cowardice therefore try Titanfall

RIPSKATEDESTROY, I see what you're saying but both are on their 1st week sales and Dark Souls 2 is a very popular sequel selling on two platforms with an install base over 160mil, Titanfall is a new IP meaning it has no advantage of a prior fanbase waiting for the sequel, and although it's on pc, pc sales are waaay behind X1 sales so the bulk of Titanfall sales are from a platform with about 4.5-5mil install base currently. So although I would not say its a surprise, it still could have went either way, as I wouldn't have been surprised if DS' s 2 was on top which is why I will say Titanfall being #1 under those circumstances is indeed impressive.

One has been marketed like there was no tomorrow the other sold on prior knowledge of the series and word of mouth.

kingduqc3685d ago

the reason why DS2 isn't number one is people waiting for the real version the 25th of April.

Well it was the only other new game, and a lot of PS3 / 360 owners were looking forward to the game. Would have been embarassing if one of the other games on the list (that were already out for 1+ weeks) beat a new game with the hype that Dark Souls 2 had.

frostypants3685d ago (Edited 3685d ago )

The Souls series has never been a massive mainstream seller. Pretty sure every CoD game in the last few years outsold the Souls games as well. It has no bearing on quality. Pretty sure most people agree that the Souls games are better than the last few CoDs.

Side note: to people who think the lighting mechanics were completely stripped from DS2, use the Pharros Contraption in No Man's Wharf.

Back-to-Back3685d ago

damn casuls.

Seriously if you havent picked up Dark Souls II DO SO NOW!!!!

Its an awesome game a refines alot of minor problems people had with the first Dark Souls.

15 Aliens: Colonial Marines wtf?

RIPSKATEDESTROY3685d ago

haha yeah! It has been on there for awhile

Gazondaily3685d ago

Yeah was wondering what that was about but I think it was on sale for like £4 or something which might have resulted in those sales. Maybe...I'm not sure

Hellsvacancy3685d ago (Edited 3685d ago )

It's an odd one, i've only ever seen it in the bargain bin section

I'm more surprised Super Mario 3D World's not in the top 15, everyone I know who's gotta WiiU loves it

frostypants3685d ago (Edited 3685d ago )

Yeah, that game was selling like hotcakes when the price got slashed. I guess people were curious enough to check out the train wreck at that price.

iosgamer3685d ago

Minecraft... geez that games sells.

Tedakin3685d ago

Great work Titanfall, you deserve it. Also great job being high up on the list South Park, you were amazing.

greenyboi3685d ago

RIPSKATEDESTROY3685d ago

Hidetaka Miyazaki claims Dark Souls 2 “carried” the series forward

Dark Souls 2 remains a divisive entry in the landmark RPG franchise, but Hidetaka Miyazaki believes it led to the success of Elden Ring.

The game isn't good though.

Rols52d ago

DS2 was fine. While there was a bit of recycling assets or ideas for bosses, it was a bigger more open Dark Souls. The Fume knight boss is one of the hardest bosses in the series until Sekiro and Elden Ring were released.

CrimsonWing6952d ago

The problem with Dark Souls 2 was the same problem when a different director takes over for a sequel to an outstanding movie. It typically (there are exceptions) doesn’t have the feel and vision of the previous movie.

I wouldn’t say Dark Souls 2 is terrible. Had Dark Souls 1 never been a thing and we got this, I think it would have been praised more. The problem is it didn’t have the Miyazaki touch to it and felt pretty derivative. The soundtrack is a banger though.

Aussiesummer52d ago

And it will happen in the future when he doesn’t touch them as he is planning on.

MrBaskerville52d ago

I like DS 2, might even be my favorite of the 3. But it's a hard sell, there's so many obscure things you need to do to make it an enjoyable experience. So always find it hard to recommend, but it is worth the trouble.

I beat them all with my fists and no hits were taken. What do you mean you don't believe me? I used a guitar hero controller!!!

qalpha139d ago

I used the Jungle Beat Bongos from my Gamecube

The_Hooligan139d ago

I just made my character look like Chuck Norris.

qalpha139d ago

All the bosses are only from Dark Souls. No Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring, or Demon Souls
