That's actually a lot better than expected. That's like 8 mill per game. I doubt pre sequel sold that much so it's probably something like 8-10 8-10 and than 4-8. Pre sequel was kinda off the radar in my opinon

I agree, 23 Million is much better then I expected.

As for the Pre sequel, it's crap. Played a couple of hours... left it and never went back.

Pre Sequel and the latest Call of Duty with all that jumping around like dimwits... is not for me.

Wow, very impressive. And to think I've never played more than just an hour of borderlands 1, it just didn't click with me.Was ttempted to try BL2 though.

grizzly_house3518d ago

Impressive sales for one of the worst franchises made by one of the worst developers in video game history.

Such is life.

Ricegum3517d ago

What a terrible opinion. Just awful.

I Sure Hope The Next Borderlands Is A Lot Like Borderlands 2

Ahmad from eXputer: "Borderlands 2's unrivaled storytelling is something that has to lean into the core elements of the next iteration in the Borderlands series."

TheNamelessOne40d ago

What? You didn't love the cringe writing that 3 had?

pwnmaster300040d ago

Playing it now and it’s not so bad, but I’ve just started so maybe it will get worse

DustMan39d ago

It's not bad. It's just hard to top Handsome Jack as an antagonist. I really enjoyed 3. It has the best gameplay of the entire series, and it holds the same vibe. Tiny Tina's Wonderland was a huge disappointment to me.

Demetrius39d ago

I recently finished 3, definitely had fun fr

-Foxtrot40d ago

I'm curious how they are going to do the Siren since they've kind of wrote themselves into a corner regarding the lore.

gold_drake40d ago

well, im sure the last eridium slab is the answer to that. either mystery or villain

-Foxtrot40d ago

I meant more in terms of how they established only 6 Sirens can exist in the entire Universe...which was kind of silly to me as they seem to all end up on Pandora, and the Universe is a pretty big place.

Then there's now the fact, since Borderlands 3 retconed it, when a Siren dies she can transfer her power to the next Siren, they don't have to be born with it. This also means there's only 6 Siren powers which will end up being recycled as the franchise goes on.

Phasewalk (Lilith)
Phaselock (Maya / Ava)
Phasetrance (Amara)
Phaseshift (Angel / Tannis)
Phaseleech (Tyreen)

So there's only one power unaccounted for and I'm guessing it belonged to Commandant Steele. There was Queen Dido but she died and someone else like Amara, Maya or Angel could have gotten their powers so really it only gives them one more Siren before they need to start rethinking things going forward.

Either we get Phaseleech next or whatever power Commandant Steele had (kind of odd she never used it in her boss fight but you know).

inb4 the next siren is a trans character.

gold_drake40d ago

it will probably be alot like wonderlands, since that is the last borderlands game

but we'll see soon

Terry_B39d ago

Most people do. But the people that create the games don't seem to understand that.

I bet it will be even worse than BL3 when it comes to story and character designs.

RaidenBlack39d ago

Hey Gearbox, remember Brothers in Arms?

Abnor_Mal39d ago

I would love a new game in the series, or a remake/remaster of the first three games.

RaidenBlack39d ago

I'd want them to do the 4th part and just end the story of Baker Company.
