| shams said: Lets not forget the demographics here. First day = Thursday. AC will sell poorly over the weekend. Galaxy will sell through the roof, as all the kids rush out to buy it. I'm predicting AC total 55k for the week, and Galaxy around 470k. |
While I agree with your point, I think your predictions are still a bit extreme (if these first say sales numbers are correct).
Mario Galaxy (Wii) : about 130k
Ace Combat 6 (360) : about 35k
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
