Silverthorn 0 Posted December 12, 2009 (edited) Although not just C&C4 related, but as well as the whole franchise itself. Since I'm just an average fan, I wonder how many fans we got, ranged from the dawn of C&C1 until now. I wonder if any of you have an accurate chart on how many numbers of fans we have in the franchise. Here is my calculation (With numbers which are NOT 100% accurate) : C&C1 until YR - Numbers skyrocketed (10 million fans) Generals & ZH - Numbers declining badly ever since Westwood died & a controversial RTS which is typically non-C&C (5-7 million) C&C3 & KW - Numbers growing BUT at a slow rate (5.5 - 8.5 million) RA3 & Uprising - Numbers might be steady or declining slowly (Numbers same or lower, like 4-7 million) Announcement of C&C4 - Numbers declining at a medium pace (3-5 million) After Tiberian Twilight name, MMO gameplay & crappy Nod unit models released - My prediction is, numbers are dropping A LOT FASTER than the time Generals was released. (0.75 - 1.5 million) Slowly and slowly, even under new supervision, I predict the franchise will not skyrocket back to the way it was, not to mention Starcraft 2 will come out one day (whether if it's in middle 2010 or 2011). What's your opinion? I may have many wrong facts, that's why I'm asking how's the chart going from C&C's 1st day until today. Edited December 12, 2009 by Silverthorn Share this post Link to post
Silverthorn 0 Posted December 13, 2009 Where are you getting these numbers? I'm only guessing them. I just wish to know how many fans we got today around the world. Share this post Link to post
Silverthorn 0 Posted December 13, 2009 Seriously, I'm not kidding around. Look what happens to C&C4, I'm sure you already know my predictions which are true. So far, how many fans we got from Uprising and then to C&C4. My guess is, decreasing badly. Share this post Link to post
Nmenth 289 Posted December 13, 2009 Here is my calculation guess (With numbers which are NOT 100% accurate) (With made up numbers that could be off by 100%) There you go, fixed. Share this post Link to post
Silverthorn 0 Posted December 13, 2009 HEY, I SAID it's a guess only and you say I made it up?! ARE YOU INSULTING ME?!! Share this post Link to post
BioBen 3 Posted December 13, 2009 Dude, I'm sorry. We can't take you seriously when you are conjuring numbers up out of thin air when we know your a heavily biased "westwoodian" To save this topic the nearest things we can get on 'fans' in terms of numbers is number of sales, obviously this isn't ideal but it's the only accurate statistic i can think of atm.

Malevolence 6 Posted December 13, 2009 Ok, I am confuse in regards to the true nature of this thread. It may seem like an EA bashing thread or Westwood embracing thread, but Silverthorn told me it wasn't. So I guess this thread has something to do that he is using the number of fans as a gauge to tell at which point of the C&C franchise start to go wrong? Another issue some of you guys pointed out that the figures are pure speculation, so the validity of this thread seems pretty bad. Maybe Silverthorn should enlighten us in regards to this confusion? Sorry guys. Share this post Link to post
Sonic 292 Posted December 13, 2009 Just like sales stats for C&C, finding out the total worldwide fan base is impossible. Share this post Link to post
Silverthorn 0 Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) Maybe so, I guess it's fine for me to shut up then. Whatever I'm going to say ain't gonna go anywhere further. EDIT : Oh, you got a point, Sonic. Forgot that the calculations that I saw last time were the sales chart, not the fan numbers chart. Well, at least I guess the numbers but there will never be an answer, the answer is both a yes & no at the same time. Edited December 13, 2009 by Silverthorn Share this post Link to post
ErikKiller 0 Posted December 23, 2009 Son, I am disappoint. I, too am, a Westwoodian, but I sense some improvement with the environment and the lore since C&C3, sure the gameplay mechanics are teh suck, but at least the world feels real. Oh sorry I forgot about RA3 - dumb move EA. Share this post Link to post
