Guild Wars 2: Fastest Selling MMO

With more than three million copies sold in the game’s first nine months, Guild Wars 2 had become the “The fastest selling MMO game”.

I think TESO will take that title because its on pc and consoles when its released

TekoIie3919d ago (Edited 3919d ago )

I think that's doubtful. TES:O will have a subscription whereas GW2 is just like any other title. Buy a copy and your good to go.

Thats a major incentive to a lot of people :)

Those consoles won't have a strong user base next year though.

These 'titles' are pretty stupid. WoW's expansions sell over four times the amount, yet because they are just expansions and not a standalone game it doesn't technically count.

TES:O and Wildstar will probably beat the 'title' this year.

kevnb3919d ago (Edited 3919d ago )

Guild wars 2 put up some big numbers, they were at 3 million in February. Probably around 5 now, but still selling. Maybe if blizzard makes a new mmo it can sell faster, but other than that it will be atleast a few years before anyone can outsell guild wars 2. I'm not going to count destiny, it looks like halo meets borderlands to me.

Only Wow was outselling the original Guild Wars , and likewise only WoW is going to outsell GW2 for the foreseable future .

It's not as if every Elder scrolls fans is actually looking forward to the mmo . Far from it

very much so... "blank" is still a thing" is also still a thing as you can can surmise.

PRIMORDUS256d ago (Edited 256d ago )

Anet also announced the 5th expansion. "We’ve already started applying lessons from the development of Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure to our fifth expansion, which we expect to be released next year." From their site, been with this game since 1st beta, and announcing the 5th expansion so soon, the game is doing very well, plus the graphics are improved a bit now that it's on DX11🙃

TGG_overlord256d ago

Correct, and yes. Imo, they've done very well for themselves, and I'm very impressed with what they have achived with GW2 since the game launched.
