Mat Piscatella of the analytics company Circana revealed new data from success of Helldivers 2 linked to the second week of sales in the USA. In short, the shooter has sold even morewhich is rare.
More precisely, Piscatella states that the physical and digital sales (calculated not in number of units but in dollars generated) are more than doubled in the second week of sale.
As the analyst explains, not only is it rare for a game to sell more in the second week than in the first, but it is even rarer to see such a large increaseespecially if it is a period away from the end-of-year holidays.
In short, the success of Helldivers 2 is not only great, but it is also particular in the way it was obtained.
Does word of mouth help Helldivers 2?
As for the reasons for this success, it is credible that the word of mouth helped. A certain portion of the public may not have taken Helldivers 2 into consideration on launch day, but given the quality they were convinced within a few days.
The success also comes despite the technical and server problems of Helldivers 2, which affected the quality of the games for several days. However, it seems that fun beats bugs.
