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

I don't agree with them. I think it might hit 8million eventually, I don't see it happening. I'm predicting first week maybe 1.4m? Then by the years end i'm going to say 6m



PSn - greencactaur
Nintendo Switch FC - SW - 5152 - 6393 - 5140 Please feel free to add me :)

It is a new IP and there are too many other great games releasing within the same timeframe. So this number is highly unlikely 1-3 million would be more realistic.

So new IPs don't sell well? Tell that to destiny and The last of Us.

Thats a tad ambitious for a new ip. Maybe 2-3mil.

See above.

And to both of you? You do realize that all it takes is for sony to do with it what it did with Uncharted right? Sell as much of the game as it can on its own between now and october. So lets say 2.5M worldwide. Then come november bundle the game with every PS4 sold. If the PS4 sells anywhere between 4-5M through november and dcember, that brings this game to that 8M mark. Not the hardest thing i the world to do when you think of it.

Realistically though, I see it selling around 5M this year. Because I am pretty certain it won't be the only bundle sony makes available come the end of the year.

So the game with those awful face mechanics and mechanical way of talking will sell that much. I watched a video where it looked like the story sequences face graphics were designed on flash and Google's AI was going the voice acting. This being a game on the ps4 which is currently the most powerful consoles and also this being an exclusive. Something like this would kill a ubisoft or third party game

watch this video :  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Y8u7MvuArA

Should change your mid.

ok but what was that video. Was it a fake cause I can;'t seem to find it? None the less I am on a different route completely with me hoping fto get Botw and switch. I know someone who has a ps4 and many games that are closer to my taste in gaming but still I love my Wii U games much more and there are only a handful of PS4 games I want to play and even less so on xbone so while The game looks interesting, I'm not gonna be able to play it. Besides I payed Batman Arkham Knight on my laptop at about 10fps or less so I'm not someone who's rather stingy about either very high fps or graphics just balanced ones. I played arkham city and origins on Wii U and because stupid WB didn't put it on Wii U I had to play it on my mediocre for gaming laptop, but I played asylum on laptop as well. The point being the game I want I'll get and the ones I don't want I don't but ps4 will not be a worthwhile investment for me



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

would not be suprised if it could reach that goal

I'm hoping it does well. GG needs a big commercial success. I don't think KZ franchise has managed to get the sales it deserves. 2&3 we're awesome. Still one of the best mp experiences to date for me.

Man nothing tops KZ 2 MP it was in a class all of its on IMO.

We know it did 2.6m+ in less than 2 weeks (note it launched  a few days lateron in europe & asia).

Thats with digital sales too though.



It needs to be bundled this holiday like Uncharted 4 was and still is and then it can match uncharted 4's sales. Bought would do over 10m no problem!



2.6 million was the first 2 weeks sales.

With the mid-year price drops the 6-8 million copies is the real life time sales prediction.
(Uncharted 4 will be above 10 million this year.)
