Forums - Sales Discussion - Ratchet and Clank Future: Crack in Time sales prediction

So the last game has sold more than 1 million copies worldwide so far. My prediction is that since its one of the most popular IPs on the PS3, I think the game will sell around 350k first week worldwide and for lifetime sales 3.2 million copies worldwide. It will have legs after the first month but I don't think the legs will be that strong.

Predict the first week WW sales and the lifetime sales.

@axumblade, LOL, haha i was thinking of some other game. My bad. I fixed it now



TO GOD BE THE GLORY

seeing as it the end of the trilogy i think it will sell better.

Americas first week
90,000 - 110,000

life time
1,750,000 - 2,000,000



3.2 million, for goodness sakes man, nothing at all points towards those kind of sales. Did you just throw some numbers together?



 

first week 75,000 - 110,000

life time 1,650,000 - 1,950,000

I think the game will do slightly better than the last game, coming in at about 1.6 - 1.8 million when all is done and dusted!

The games are fantastic so it is a guaranteed million seller anyway! Week one i think will be in the region of 250-350k



Some pretty good predictions here, minus the OP's obviously.



 

first week 180.000

lifetime 2 million



350k first week is possible, I suppose, but 3.2 MILLION WW lifetime? Considering no Ratchet and Clank has ever sold that, and neither has any game in R&C's genre on a Sony console since the original Jak and Daxter in 2001, I highly doubt that it will cross 3 million.

Let's look at the data we have.

Tools of Destruction.

Launched in late October/early November 2007 on a userbase of ~5.5 million units

First Week: 126k
LTD (after 1 year and 8 months): 1.48 million

A Crack in Time

Set to launch in September-October 2009 on a userbase of ~25-26 million units.

First Week: 200k-250k
LT: 1.8-2.1 million

That seems more reasonable.

Seing how VG chartz hasn't updated TOD for 6+ months i'm just gonna guess it is around 2million now (seing how its platinum now).

I reckon 250k first week and 2.2 life time
