What the hell is up with infamous

perpride - Just a few references since others wanted to throw 'em in there.

I guess on my end, the real comparison would be Infamous vs. other new AAA sandbox IPs like Saints Row, Crackdown and Prototype.

For comparison:

Assassin's Creed: 7.96m
Saints Row: 1.98m
Crackdown: 1.51m
Prototype: 1.41m
Infamous: 0.85m
Godfather 2: 0.83m

Given the trends, Infamous would be in the lower tier of that, between 1.1-1.3m. We can argue comparables, but if Infamous is lower than most other new AAA sandbox titles, what is it?

How good of you to lump together these multiplats into one figure - makes for such a fair table!

Assassin's Creed 360: 4.52m
Assassin's Creed PS3: 3.44m
Saints Row: 1.98m
Crackdown: 1.51m
Prototype 360: 0.85m
inFamous: 0.84m
Prototype PS3: 0.56m
Godfather 2 360: 0.47m
Godfather 2 PS3: 0.36m

Now when I look at that, I see Prototype 360 and inFamous neck-and-neck, with both likely to end up approximately on par with Crackdown. Seems like fairly "mid-tier" sales to me.
