Rage should be very likely. Portal 2 should be maybe.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

I'd have put Rage under very likely if it came out next month, but the release date is sometime in the middle of September. Furthermore it's a new IP and it's more of a singleplayer game.

I think Brink has better chances to reach 1m this year.

 

Portal 2.... that's really hard to judge but a lot of people bought The Orange Box and got portal Still Alive and this time it's a full fledged game with a full co-op campaign. Needless to say it's surely going to be a GOTY contender and coming out next month. Should be enough time.

Dragon Age 2 already halfway there.

Rage is a lock to hit 1 million before the year is over. 500K first week and then it's got steady high sales over the whole Holiday season.  As a comparison, Fallout New vegas was over 2 million before 2011 was over, now Rage while a new IP should be able to do half of that easily.

Portal 2 same thing, easily 1 mill before year is over. Hype is big and reviews are going to be crazy high.

Maybe:

Homefront
Crysis 2
Duke Nukem Forever

These 3 games too are locked to sell over 1 mill before end of year.

^also won't the PS3 version  of Portal 2 impact  the 3go version's sales? Many multconsole owners would likely buy ps3 version over 360 version.

I hope you're right but I have my doubts. I don't doubt for a moment the scores will be high and the hype is huge... within the online gaming community. But I dunno, Portal 2 feels like it could easily be one of those titles with amazing word of mouth, amazing reviews and yet sell below 1 million. I really hope I'm pleasantly surprised by the sales though, the first one deserved millions in my eyes.

So no single game from 2011 has hit one million yet? I'm pretty sure Homefront has.

We also have a few games from 2010 that were near one million or hit one million.

? I'm confused.



It's just that simple.

Where's Homefront Seece?
