Probably Destiny. It looks massive and it can definitely sell 10 million. But it can especially be the beginning of a new big franchise and so the investement is probably worth it.


You must be dreaming or must be something reallly good b/c I doubt that they could even sell that much two years into PS4/X1 lifetime.  Cliffy is saying it needs to sell 10 mil at launch price which is crazy for platforms that have just launched!!!  Maybe if they include PC, mobile/smart devices they could hit that number.  Otherwise they're SoL!!!

GTAV or The Last of US. Or Pikmin 3, it was in development for many years!


There is no way Pikmin 3 needs to sell that much. Nintendo is actually really good at budget managing and dont set their expectations too high on anything that isnt Mario or Zelda

 

It's just typical spurgeonryan's potshots on Nintendo!!!  I Moved on right away!!!

A question. It sais introduced.
So this means first time shown to the world right?

This can only be the division I guess

I think hes talking out of his ass.  This guy has a record of being against AAA titles and I think he jus made this shit up.

This is insane. 10 million would make sense for COD or maybe Halo (tho neither is a new IP...eh Destiny or Titanfall maybe?).


Man what the hell makes a game cost THAT MUCH?


MMO's cost a shit ton of money, so i think its Destiny or The Devition

Shit, I would love to see the breakdown on whatever game it is to see just how badly someone wasted their fucking money.  That is insane.


Those games are very graphically intensive as well. Activition said that Destiny is the most money they have ever put into a new IP

Meh Im just going to stick with Bullshit on this one.  Definitely not an Exclusive (The Console Company usually handles marketting with Exclusives) and I do not see any of the others selling that many (maybe lifetime, but not right away). 

I think Cliffy B was just upset that Gabe ate his hamburger.

You guys actually think Destiny will sell 10 million? Do you know how hard it is for a game to sell 10 million copies? It is not like it happens on a monthly basis.

It will easily sell 10m. It will be on at least 4 platforms and it's made by Bungie and advertised by Activision (CoD says hello )


Wishful thinking...but miracles do happen!!!

Destiny is for PS3/360 too


new IP which will be gimped on dated systems are not going to sell boatloads.
