Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Ubisoft 2,325 N/A 2.93m 07th Oct 08
Splinter Cell sold nearly 3 million on the Xbox 1 alone. |
True. But the sales for the series have been decreasing, not increasing like you suggest. I can see it possibly doing 1.5-2 million but anything past that would be, frankly, a miracle.
|
People said the same exact thing about MGS 4 before it came out
|
And MGS4 hasn't and wont' reach the number of the first two installments in the series. MGS4 had the benefit of being the biggest named PS3 exclusive. MGS4 is also a bigger named series then Splinter Cell and with a bigger following, and yet you suggest that SC will sell even more then it? How could you possibly think that?
|
Now your just cherry picking why one franchise can sell 4 million why another cant. Im not sure that MGS is more relevant than Splinter Cell. Assassins Creed (new IP)on Xbox 360 alone outsold MGS. and doubled its sales across both platforms.
|
I'm cherry picking? You are doing nothing but cherry picking. You cherry picked the best selling game in the entire series, which saled across the ps2, and xbox comined which was a huge install base and suggesting that the new one will sell even more on one console despite sales for the series decreasing. It doesn't work like that buddy. And as for AC, I never even mentioned AC. Going by sales, it would seem that AC is more popular then MGS. And it certainly is more poplular then Splinter Cell. As for me, I explained why one series sold 4 million, and why another simply won't. That's not cherry picking. :P

Well, Cod 2 only sold 2 million on the Xbox 360 also. That doesnt change the fact that MW 2 will probably break 11 million this year
|
How can you even compare the two, they're almost like COMPLETELY different franchises at this point. Modern Warfare was basically a new franchise for Call of Duty. Sometimes franchises do go up in #s, look at Halo, but in this case I think it is HIGHLY unlikely, albeit, not impossible.
|
Then all compare the 2 million selling Xbox 360 game Cod 2 with the 5 million selling Cod W@W (Xbox 360). is that fair?
|
Absolutley not. WAW sold due to the popularity and recognition it received from Modern Warfare. Also, an exception does not make a rule. Just another case of you cherry picking though. Honestly, are you 13? Because your knowledge of sales and how they work is honestly that of a 13 year old. Your entire arguement is based off of cherry picking, and exceptions. If someone had predicted COD4 would sale 11 million copies, they would have been lucky, not right.
