Aliens Vs. Predator Reigns In Sales Over Bayonetta
Today Sega has reported its fiscal year results (ended March 31), with Aliens Vs. Predator coming out with surprising retail sales. Even though the game earned less-than-stellar review scores, AvP beat out Bayonetta in sales.
AvP sold 1.69 million units among U.S. and European territories, while Bayonetta only sold 1.35 million in the U.S., Europe, and Japan combined.
The ultimate seller, however, is none other than Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter games with a total 6.53 million units sold in the U.S. and Europe. I guess the popular franchise boys make one hell of a pair.
What do you think about the results?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
