Spartan1-1 Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 About how many copies of BS have sold so far? Just wondering what the market for sims looks like both worldwide and in the US. Keep up the great work. SPARTAN1-1 Спартанец1-1 Dell XPS 630i / Windows 7 / Intel Core 2 Extreme CPU Q6850 @ 3.00 GHZ / 4 GB Corsair Dominator 1066/ NVIDIA 8800GT X 2 / Track IR 4Pro / X52 + Pedals Dell Studio XPS 1647 / Windows 7 / Intel i7 620 @ 2.67 GHZ / 4 GB RAM / ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670
AEFVigilant Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 How many have sold in Russia so far? But yes an interesting question - a lot of simmers have been waiting for BS...great to see it here [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] “Courage is not the absence of fear. It’s feeling the fear and doing what you know you have to anyway.”
Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 I hope ED sells a lot of them and make tons of money so they can use it to bring us more GREAT simulators such as BS. I can't remember having this much fun with a simulator since......a looooong time ago!
HogRider Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Even this is a very interesting question, in order to see how big our hardcore community is, I bet you won't get an answer here. These are company internals and I am sure ED will not tell us anything about it. I just hope its big enough to keep up this new wave of hardcore sims (Blackshark, Jet Thunder, Fighterops etc.) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Boberro Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 I think it is non-public information and is restricted only for ED and theirs partners. At least somebody asked about this sometime ago but as far I know he didn't get answer which I think he and others waited for :) Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ
Axion Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Nobody expects actual figures but I am sure they could indicate whether sales are below or above their expectations. I for one have purchased at least four copies of this thoroughly enjoyable sim.:thumbup: Asus Z390 Code XI, i9-9900K, RAM 32 Gig Corsair Vengeance @ 3200, RTX 2080 TI FE, TIR 5, Samsung 970 EVO 1TB, HOTAS WH, ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q, HTC Vive Pro, Win 10 x64

Spartan1-1 Posted December 29, 2008 Author Posted December 29, 2008 Ok, im pushing this thread to the front today. Hopefully we'll get some answer. ED, I respectfully ask... What the sales are looking like for DCS BS? Worldwide? USA? Russia? Curious about the sim market. I, we, understand that it is private information for you company. Anything you can tell us would be great. -Loyal Customer SPARTAN1-1 Спартанец1-1 Dell XPS 630i / Windows 7 / Intel Core 2 Extreme CPU Q6850 @ 3.00 GHZ / 4 GB Corsair Dominator 1066/ NVIDIA 8800GT X 2 / Track IR 4Pro / X52 + Pedals Dell Studio XPS 1647 / Windows 7 / Intel i7 620 @ 2.67 GHZ / 4 GB RAM / ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670
Zembla Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 I just hope its big enough to keep up this new wave of hardcore sims (Blackshark, Jet Thunder, Fighterops etc.) There is a very big difference between Black Shark (Eagle Dynamics), FighterOps (XSi) and Jet Thunder (Thunderworks) though. Neither XSi nor Thunderworks are being developped by a team of professionals. By which I mean, the developers of both games do it on the side, because they want to make a product, but not as their profession. Eagle Dynamics however is a professional studio, with plenty of contacts, and contracts, the fruit of which we can enjoy. Not to mention, Eagle Dynamics hardly fits the "new" bill, they've been around long enough. As such, both FighterOps and Jet Thunder have a TBA release date, which shifts quite easily. I'm looking forward to FighterOps as well as Jet Thunder, but we may well have received a second installment in the DCS series before either hits the (virtual) shelves. -Z [sigpic][/sigpic] I aaaaaam ... a banana!

Besides, DCS has not even hit retail yet in the West, which is a large (probably largest) share of the market. Edited December 30, 2008 by EvilBivol-1 - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy.

However, they might get fulltime too, if they sell enough copies. Maybe there are even projects of companies we haven't heard of yet. They might show their face to the public in beta state or something.... We never know. Anyway, good times ahead I would say. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
