Forums - Sales Discussion - Horizon Zero Dawn Predicted To Sell 8 Million Units, Close To Uncharted 4

Sony's next big PlayStation 4 exclusive, Horizon Zero Dawn, launches next week. Now, a new report from SuperData claims the game--which is a brand-new franchise--may sell millions of copies this year and go on to become a hit on the level or close to Uncharted 4 and Metal Gear Solid V.

Horizon Zero Dawn will shift as many as 6 million copies by the end of 2017, SuperData said. Total sales could reach 8 million units, which would put it close to the most recent Uncharted and Metal Gear Solid games.

In its report, SuperData CEO Joost van Dreunen cited Horizon Zero Dawn's strong review scores from critics as an element that could help boost sales

Definitely deserves success. A solid game which is much better than I anticipatee.



Lol superdata...

They have got every single VR prediction wrong and they claimed that Google cardboard would sell 84+ million in 2016 when it took Google Cardboard 19 months to ship 5 million.

Now I am not saying Horizon can't sell 8 million. I am saying that a monkey on drugs can probably make a more reliable prediction these days than Superdata can.

Nobody should take this seriously... Why? For the sake of Horizon "needs" to sell 8mil arguements.

I think the game can do 5mil ltd. Lets not forget TLoU a game last gen that broke the gaming media sold i think aroun 7-8mil lifetime (on ps3)



I don't think so, half of that would be pretty good

Yeah, even 4 million would be considered quite good.

8 million is impossible, which would mean it's almost on Witcher 3, Assassin's Creed and Red Dead Redemption levels, which is too hard for a new open world IP released on just one console.



Ooh, that sounds awfully optimistic. But who the hell knows, seems like a title that deserves it. But, again, it's very optimistic and I'd be really surprised. 5 million is a more realistic target and would still be an amazing number for a new IP.



Nah I see it around 3-4m. 8m is too much.

A broken clock is still right twice a day..... guess that could apply here.
