Well I don't view it as a hardcore game but I would agree that its "hardcore" in the stereotypical sense.

Personally I think there is a lot of hype surrounding the title and that when marketing comes around that will increase. I worry about sales in Europe, but in America they should be fine. FPS's usually don't have too many problems selling there.

As long as the game gets good advertising around release and good reviews it should do fine.

I'm predicting 2 million for it, but when I look at Far Cry 2 sales on X360 it scares me: 1.18 million...

 

HOW did a game with so good reviews, and so much hype, failed to sell like all others 360 good FPS?

 

Couldn't compete with CoD: WaW and Gears of War 2.  It's amazing it was able to do so well amist those shooters releasing.  Not to mention Fallout 3 at the same time. 

Not always about how good a game is but if it gets the hype and marketing it needs to obtain mainstream appeal.  Shooters are huge mainstream properties.  All they need is a little attention to have big sales.
