Sony fans getting delusional again. The first game barely made 3 million and the second not even close to 2 million and now suddenly everybody loves the third game?

Yep things dont grow dont ever improve.  Games never out sale its predecessors. 

Except for the unrealistic hype Sony fans have build upon this game on this website there is absolutely nothing and I repeat NOTHING to assume this game is going to sell more than double than its predecessors. Even Killzone is a bigger franchise than inFamous but it didn't even managed to sell 2 million despite it being a launch game. Max 2 million for this game. 4-7 million isn't even funny in Imaginationland.

Even with 2,1 million for Shadowfall, my point remains. Killzone is a much bigger franchise with about the same units sold per installment (2-3 million). inFamous 1 apparently wasn't good enough for inFamous 2 to sell more or equal (but about 50% less). How are you guys ever assuming this game is going to sell between 4-7 million? It doesn't make any sense. Just think logically for one second, please.

you do realize infamous 2 data on the site are incomplete, right? 

KZ shadow fall, within the space of 4 months, sold almost as much as KZ3 did lifetime, and its safe to assume it will break the 3 million mark and has a good chance of reaching 4 million. it sold over 300k this year at retail so far. Killzone shadow Fall will easily be the best Selling Killzone game released so far. 

so why is it so hard to think that a franchise (infamous), that sells 2m+ with each game, can reach 4 million when another franchise (Killzone) is doing the same. also consider that launch window games usually have long term legs and sell quite well. look at MotorStorm or Resistance. Motorstorm sold almost 4 million and sold 4.2 million. and they were both launch window tittles on the PS3, and we all know the PS4 is selling much, much better. 

as i said in my previous post, if infamous SS sells 4 million it will be considered a massive success for Sony and Sucker Punch, im not saying it will happen, but saying its impossible is well, as you said in your first post about sony fans, is quite delusional.

You lack a point and logic.  You just blindly look at ohh this sold x thus this cant sale more.  That is not much of a point.

You are missing the understanding of difference on each titles time its competition and virtue of its platform.  Look at Resistance it sold 4.3 freaking million, would you say Killzone is a lesser franchise then ?  I would not it just had the benefit of time and competition.  Logically you need to factor some clearly distinctive factors to be able to say anything.

According to your mentality these no fucking way Dark knight could pass 1 billion given Begins only did 375 million.  But it did, it nearly tripled its predeccesors earnings. 

 

 



I would be happy to see it in the 4 - 5 million range. Anything above that would just be a great achievement.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Ehhh... 6-7 million is on the higher end .

It could manage those sales though.

The visuals are very nice and it seems to be the first good retail PS4 exclusive.

So yes, it will sell very well.....but 5 million tops.



Am I the only PS4 fan that finds inFamous unappealing?

I got 1 when it game out and didn't bother playing more than 3 hours. Played 2 a little bit. This looks like the same thing again. Running from point A to point B while choosing Good or Evil along the way. Snore.

That said, I hope it is a major critical and commercial success.

I think inFamous is going to overtake Killzone SF for most traded exclusive of 8th gen. Purely from the lack of multiplayer. So it'll sell 3-4 million all together.



3.5 million, maybe. Not counting an eventual PS+ freebie or $5 digital copies a few years from now.



Bundled heavily, yes it could possible sell that. Stand alone around 4M.



6-7 million? Pfft. Really, leo-j? I expected much better from you. Second Son is a flop if it doesn't sell 10 million or more.

3-4M, higher than its predecessors. Though the series were never that huge sellers.



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...
