Honestly depends on reviews. If Shadowfall was on 80+ meta it sure as hell wouldn't be struggling to surpass KZ2 and 3 on a system that currently has a limited library but is selling like hotcakes.

I would easily give the game an 8.5 from all that i've played. The story has some issues, but is good overall but the multiplayer needs more choices of guns. Outside of that its great. Definitely better than COD for sure. The only game better than it is Battlefield until Titanfall comes out. Sony has covered their launch very well.

Sorry but 8 millions of those are mine.

Using youtube views as hype ruler? I dont think its going to work...

I guess God of War As sold 4 million copies plus then too.

I could see it happening, but I don't see it getting anymore than 5 million sales.

Getting close to 5mil would be really good for the inFAMOUS franchise!

If Youtubes has predictive value for sales then there's got to be correlation data across a large number of games, which includes Titanfall. You can't just take KZ views and then extrapolate directly to inFamous.

There probably is a predictive model that could be created that links pre-launch youtube views and intial sales. But there are probably so many variables and complexities that it would be too difficult to costruct the model. Lots of Youtube views probably means good sales. But that's about as accurate as you can be.

Yes there are many many variables, hence I eliminated almost all of them.

Killzone and Infamous.

Both PS4 exclusives. Both primarily featured on the same youtube channel. Both have videos promoted by Sony as ads.

that would be fucking huge for Sucker Punch and Sony

I know. By huge I assumed he meant more than that.


Oh yes. Lifetime I predict is 7 million.

3 million maybe. 7 million will not happen lol

I give KZ:SF an 7.5. It is crap compared to KZ2 and KZ3 imo (single player and multiplayer)
