Only great Silent Hill games (1, 2 and SH:SM) sold more then 1m lifetime. I can't see any reasons now why Kojima's game must reach that numbers.

I say 6 million...Looks like it could be a great game.

I trust Kojima & Del Toro, i think it's gonna be brilliant with these two in charge. But it is a horror game and they don't sell well but i'm expecting around 4 million.

If TLOU can manage to sell 7 million copies then SH can do too. Also I don't believe all of the SH sales listed on VGchartz are undertracked just like Tomb Raiders. No way SH2 only sold 1.28 million copies. Its way to much praised on the PS2. Also konami once said SH 1-3 had pretty strong sales. Everything after SH4 sold bad.

I sure as hell hope that the game is not cross gen seeing that even optimistically it won't come out before the end of 2015.

That being said, it does depend on how many platforms it eventually comes out on, but I can see it easily become the best selling Silent Hill game, I'll just say 3,5mil for now.

3 millions, maybe 4. Then again, I'm a very pessimistic person when it come to predictions hehehe

Well yes, low sales don't necessarily mean a game flopped, it all depends on how much it costs. But what i meant is that AAA horror games are struggling to turn profits as there just simply is'nt an audience for the genre as a whole and with Silent Hill looking to be a AAA game that means it'll probabaly have to sell into the millions to profit, at least that's what i think. But i think this game will manage to sell above 3.5 million it as it's a pretty well known franchise and has a highly respected team behind it, but who knows if that will makes the game profitable or not.

Silent Hill is a very niche franchise, people! This new one will be lucky to pass 2 million!

Franchises can grow and this game has definitely gathered the attention of the gaming community in the last days.

But apparently the game won't be out till 2016 anyway, so there's still a lot that can happen.

I try and complete as many games as possible. Backlog is not in my vocabulary.

But Downpour, couldn't make it 1 hr into Downpour. Painfully dull.

With revamped gameplay, decent script and if Kojimas involvement is kept to a minimum, I think it should do well. 2m.
