| Mr. sickVisionz said: I don't see Ratchet putting up almost 2 million. If MAG is only multiplayer, I don't see it doing as well as Resistance 2 or Killzone 2. I'd say like 1.3M if that. I certainly can't imagine Uncharted 2 doing so well considering that the first one only started selling well when it was bundled with the system. When people actually had to pay out of pocket for it, it was only doing mediocre numbers. I'd say like 1.5M Your Heavy Rain sounds about right but it might be too generous. I just do think that any console other than the Wii really has a large group of people who will give a game like that a chance. It's not a shooter, so that's like a mark of death already. The female lead isn't half naked or insanely hot and the gameplay seems like an evolved pc adventure game. I think it'll end up like Beyond Good and Evil... one of the best games nobody played. I see God of War doing 3.2M but I think it'll reach that after being out for close to a year if not more. Thats almost 1 million more than the best selling one has sold, and it's selling to a smaller install base. -- I don't see the PS3 beating the 360 saleswise for the Holiday unless it's selling for the same price as a 360 Pro (currently $299). I don't think a PS3 Slim will do too much of a boost. I don't think people are resistant to a PS3 because of it's looks. I'll predict that a $399 Slim PS3 basically sells the same as a regular $399 PS3.
I think that's crazy talk. We're almost 6 months deep and the PS3 hasn't outsold the 360 world wide a single time this year. To sell 2-3 million more units than the 360 would require like a 300% increase in sales starting now. That's highly unlikely given that the thing has been selling worse year over year. |
A. R&C has a good chance at 2million. These games are known for their sexy legs. R&CFToD is at 1.5 and just released as a greatest hit. B. MAG is a coin flip. one thing to take into consideration is who the devs are. they are the same people who made the very popular SOCOM. The other consideration however is online only. Which Warhawk. UT3, and SOCOM havent broke a million yet.(but SOCOM is very close and it doesnt include its DLs from PSN) C. Uncharted wasn't heavily bundled till fall of 08 when it was almost 2 million. there are tons of bundles in Europe because there are tons of sonys. a bundle in poland wont make a difference in total numbers. D. http://vgchartz.com/hwcomps.php ps3 beat 360 3 or 4 times this year
