It's Destiny, Division, or Titanfall I think.

Destiny will sell 10 million units, as will Titanfall if it goes multiplatform.


Titanfall won't go multi for at least 2 years!!!

6-8 months. 



Atto Suggests...:

Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series 

Game - Metro Last Light

TV - Deadwood

Music - Forest Swords

I'd guess Destiny. It has been in development since the Halo 3 days, basically, and it has the scale of an MMO.



Cliff B just underlined the biggest problem in the industry.

"Unrealistic expectations"

10M just to break even, is overkill.

Destiny probably. And I think he might have misunderstood something. They're probably shooting for 10m+ or something


IT could be Destiny and might have something to do with the unique  10 year deal and how much  Activision needs to get their money back ,  also Destiny is not your usual one off game since they intend to develop the game  for years .



Research shows Video games  help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

The only one introduced at E3 that I can think of that would fit the bill is the Division. There's no way that any of the Microsoft exclusives could cost that much coming out on just 1 console at the beginning of the generation. Unless it's Titanfall since I believe it's on X1 and X360. But I don't think so. And the only new IP reveal Sony made was the Order which definitely does not cost that much being Ready at Dawn's 1st major game.

am i the only one who doesnt really believe this?



this guy is an idiot he may know a lot about games but he doesn't know anything about sales or marketing. anyone who releases a game needing 10 million sales just to make a profit is a bigger idiot than he is.



I am the new kid in town!!!

Cliffy B talking shit to make it sound like used games are destroying the industry again. "Numbers don't add up", no, they don't when you expect any game to sell 10 million.

No. I'm with you.



Cliffy is full of shit and is losing it lately, I respect him as a developer though.
