This game doesn't seem to have the sales potential to justify what must be a very large budget. Sometimes I wonder if Sony funds these games to prove a point about the capabilities of th PS3. I thought Indigo Prophecy sold 750k. This game looks great, but it doesn't sound like it will recover its costs.

If the storyline is great then people will play this game, in flocks. There are many people like me today who play video games purely based on storyline. IP wasn't advertised at all, it sold basically on word of mouth. If Sony advertises this game properly it could cross over to the sophisticated layer of film connaisseurs and inspire a whole genre of interactive movies for adults.

I hope you are right. Innovation is rarely rewarded with sales.

Thanks for the input, Jeff.

This game is like the evolution of the narrative driven adventure story of old that has died out due to the advent of superior graphic. I think it has a huge amount of potential but I simply don't see it moving a large amount of units, the genre just seems to niche

LTD of 1.5 million would be good safe bet.

Pretty much. I've got my fingers crossed that it delivers on the "make your own story" premise. Indigo Prophecy was definitely headed that way until the mid-point: if Heavy Rain delivers all the way...
