Activision has just released a statement which affirms that the best-selling game in the world in the first four months of 2012 is not CoD: Modern Warfare 3 nor one of the popular Blizzard section titles: the record sales is up to Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure . But how is it possible, if in the Top 10 sales appeared rarely? Going to analyze the statement turns the gabola, saw record sales is calculated " on the basis of turnover data (including toys and accessories) ".

Then the success of the game praised by Activision is not relative to the number of copies sold, but refers to the gains made since the sale of toys sold separately and used to add new characters (over 30) in the game, through the "portal of power". Given that each of these characters will cost around € 10 and children go crazy making them go literally steals so much by making them unavailable until last month, we understand therefore how the Publisher could get a similar result.

Congratulations anyway to Activision for having had a similar idea and created a game that is well done, entertaining and very catchy: at the end of the year they released a sequel, titled Skylanders Giants , which is probably not extricate itself to repeat such a success.
