I wouldn't bet on Bioshock's sales because it's also on PC and because Metroid Prime 3 is part of a successful franchise on console that has sold millions, I have absolutely no expectations of Bioshock outselling Metroid Prime 3. (Maybe combined PC/360 sales might be worth looking at?) |
Good bet, but I would say sales have a chance too if you combine PC and 360. Then again, with Nintendo's aggressive advertising of Prime (downloadable trailers for the first time) I think it could probably take it in sales cross platform as well. Either way, the review war between them is very interesting. Bets like this, when there is actually a valid (non-fanboy) argument for each side, are much more fun. |
Heh, well I've got both games reserved right now, so I won't sway those numbers one way or the other. I want to see both games do well, but if I had to make a prediction... I'd say Bioshock. It's a hard call for me to make, though. |
Right, that's what makes it interesting. There is no overwhelming argument for one side. It's not like those best of "The Wii will sell 200 million consoles by 2008!" (exaggerated, but there are some equally ridiculous), or Heavenly Sword will outsell Mario Galaxy! It actually looks like a very interesting question.
