| KLucifer said: yeah i read it i get wat ur saying..i just couldn't agree with the 2.6 million part...it definitely will have more than 2.6 million within the first 10 weeks of release...but bulk of the sales come from within the first 10-20 weeks of release...later on when more ps3 will get sold..the attach rate will definitely come down...but here is reason why i think the 2.6 million sold will be disproved... the current MGS4 #s would completely destroy that theory...MGS4 should have sold about....1.3 million....it didn't...it sold 3.63 million so far... also if u go by attach rate.....GTA4 would completely destroy another theory..GTA has an attach rate alittle above 25%...big name game with history usually dont follow the attach rate theory...and GT5 has history...and a big name game...so it will definitely sell more than ur 2.6 million prediction oh yeah...i was talking about selling more than 4 million in defense to the 2.6 million have said...not in defense to it will sell 9 mill later down the road...i should have specified....if ps3 grows to about 65mill..then i can see it happening.... |
I was just going by how the attach rate for the PS2 was with GT3 and GT4, maybe the PS3 has a different attach but the numbers I got was if the attach rate was the exact same as the PS2 for the PS3. So if it is the same then it should be that out of 27.5 million PS3 users there should be 2.6 million that will own GT5 (this is if there was no price cut by the time the game released, if it was not bundled and if the game was released at the begining of 2010). That number is really low I know but I'm just going by what the attach rate was for the PS2, the PS3 will likely be different and the number should be higher.
I know what you mean with your MGS argument and that's right, and it kinda proved that the PS3 has a better attach rate then the PS2, but that is just one game.
Edit: off to bed
