Well yes, as it's an awesome game. But if it flops.. then it flops. I was just pointing out that in this thread some people were making some very bold statements about the games success or failure. When it's far too early to tell how it will do.
Sure it won't hit a million or anything like that, but it still might be a very successful game. Or it might not.
As for your earlier "based on Hype statement. Think of it this way. Go to Gamerankings and check out this game and Ratchet and Clank. you may notice that despite being out for about the same amount of time, Ratchet has 29 reviews and Zack n' Wiki has... 9.
Sure they're all glowing reviews, and some of those websites have really pushed the game, but most websites haven't even reviewed it. It's a game that most people don't even know of it's existence yet. And they might never, as the game could see significant declines in sales during the next few weeks and die a sad forgotten death. I'm just saying that it's silly to predict such a thing based on it's first week's numbers. P.S. Yikes! Even Conan has more reviews than Zack & Wiki |
But how would you define success for the game? Turning a profit, selling above expectations, successful in......quality? |
I didn't really set a number for it. A game can be successful while selling a lot less than a million. I don't know, half a million WW? That'd be pretty funky to me in the big success department. 300k for just a success? I don't know. We'll see how it pans out over the weeks and months, and then whatever it does, we'll decide whether or not it was successful.
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.
Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.
Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!
Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
