With Bethesda shipping 12 million units in advance to stores, and the release of Fallout 4 causing Pornhub’s traffic to decrease, the numbers sold in the first 3 days since the title’s release isn’t that surprising. So for those of you who didn’t preorder and are worried about getting their own copy, you’re far from being left in the dust, there’s plenty of copies for you left.
It is estimated that the 1.87 million units equals out to $100 million in revenue. If you want to do a comparison, Fallout 3 sold about 610,000 units in the first month and Fallout New Vegas sold around 12 million copies globally overall. Time will show just how many units Fallout 4 will sell. Something to keep in mind is that the first DLC will not launch until 2016 so anybody looking for answers on a 5th Fallout will have to wait.
