MCC in the UK launched at 103k. Bloodborne is 35k-45k. And I definitely don't think the other countries can make up for the huge US week 1 gap incoming. So no.

*According to VGC

I believe Bloodborne will be a little more than The Order's week 1. Which still needs to be adjusted down.


UK is a big market for Halo, But it isn't for Souls games.

using your logic, Halo opened with less than 5k in japan while Dark Souls 2 opened with 256k. Bloodborne is estimated to sell 150-200k in Japan based on pre-orders, and  has opened better in UK than Dark Souls 2 did which was at 44k.

I think there's a good chance.

It will sell a lot more then Bloodborne in all country expect Japan

But bloodborne failed to sell more then Deamon souls

I think people are seriously overestimating the number of games bloodborne will sell...

I think it's because people predict game sale based on how much they like the game

Dark Souls sold 820k between PS3+360, that's only 80k less than Halo: MCC.

And Bloodborne seems to be attracting alot more than just Souls fans.

Japan is not enough to make Bloodborne sell more than 900k week 1

Dark Souls sold that on 2 consoles with a combined install base of about 150m. Bloodborne is only selling on one console with an installbase of about 22m.


installbase isn't as important as you think, inFAMOUS 2 opened with around 300k on an installbase of 50+ million, while inFAMOUS: 2nd Son opened with 800k on an installbase of 7 million.

Bloodborne will be doing very well to launch with 500K. 750K would be a fantastic result.

Nope. As good as Bloodborne is (it really is, completely amazing from the 10 hours I've given it so far) I think 900K sales is a tad high. It's a love it or hate it game and that will keep a check on sales in the short terms. Bloodborne will have legs though no doubt about that. I think Bloodborne will sell more than Halo MCC long term, but I'd guess maybe 500-600K in the first week



PREDICTIONS FOR END OF 2015: (Made Jan 1st 2015)

PS4 - 34M - XB1 - 21m - WII U -12M

Halo MCC numbers are inflated due to its holiday release. 900k may be a tad high for Bloodborne to achieve but anything close is an accomplishment.

Edit: But I do believe that Sony will give numbers for Bloodborne soon (when it passes the 1 million mark), possibly tomorrow.
