Don't go by pre-orders on this site but wasn't this sadly expected? I think the game looks great but with all these other games being released this holiday on XB1 (GTA V, MCC, CoD AW) and on other consoles (LittleBigPlanet 4, Smash Bros, other 3rd party titles) I thought this would've been seen. This is honestly a game that is making me consider XB1 though.....

I wouldn't exactly trust VGC pre-order numbers, they aren't exactly 'accurate' xD;

Not sure if this game will sell very well anyway. Seems a bit goofy & niche, like Wonderful 101 was on the Wii U.

I see a lot of people stating not to go by VGC pre-orders, and while I have the game on pre-order for review purposes, I can already feel the lack of enthusiasm in the overall community and responses to videos and other things about the game.

Also, the surprising silence and lack of pre-release reviews is, as always with just about every publisher other than Nintendo, a concern. The embargo being set close to release is usually a "pre-order sales preservation" tactic when internal sources are indicating a score lower than anticipated.

Having said that, I'm going into it with an open mind, as I do with all of my reviews

Odd. I've seen several members mention poor marketing for this game, while I've seen more marketing for this than many recent games (comparable with Titanfall).

I think this game will mostly sell after release through word of mouth.
I put a lot of faith in it after I saw the Twitch streams. Everybody loved it. It's so different and the control is very precise.
This game will be so good that'll make you slap yo momma.

I am thinking 400k - 1 million lifetime.

Are you still doing those crazy youtube videos?

Dang, people act like the game has to sell a million copies FW for it to be considered a success. Anyway like almost everyone else has said VGChartz pre order numbers are garbage.

Even if the pre-order numbers are off, EVERYTHING is conspiring against this game

> It's a brand new IP, so it has to prove itself
> It's exclusive to a console selling FAR LESS than its main competitor.
> The entirety of Insomniac's fanbase are PS users. Literrally, 100% of those guys' fans are on PlayStation

I'd be more pessimistic if I were you =(

I not 100pm percent. A lot of 360 owners has a ps2 including me. I'm a fan of insomniac.
