| darthdevidem01 said: I'll comment on your thoughts (lol): 1. I agree, astonishing pre-orders! Should outsell ME1 handidly 2. GOW2 launched to around 500K - 600K in NA, so i wouldn;t say its very very surprising, but good nonetheless. 3. the PS3 version of FF13 right now is tracking ahead of ME2 in the same time period, if it sees similar increases we should see a 600K week 1 for FF13 on PS3 alone, add 360 & you have a 900K week 1 in the american region.....who knows how the increases will turn out though. Worldwide FF13 should be PS3 2nd biggest week 1 ever!!! 4. Heavy Rain & WKC ARE lackluster and I agree with you that HEavy Rain has a better chance to get more pre-orders as after marketing this game could really get people thinking & maybe even purchasing it. It will have legs. WKC on the other hand is a JRPG = no legs usually & is low on pre-orders, things don't look good. 5) I have no clue at all, also PS3 is getting GOW3, so wouldn't PS3 gamers be going for GOW3 and ignoring Dante;s Inferno?! obviously that isn't happening. 6) Bioshock 1 wasn't that "big" & bioshock 2 hardly has any hype among other big Q1 releases. |
1) Yep definitely and Mass Effect 2 deserves to as well from what I've seen.
2) Yeh I know that GOW 2 had a solid launch in NA but I'm just suprised that let's assume that it's got 11 more weeks till launch and yet it's not far off from Mass Effect 2 which is only 2 weeks away from launch. That is what is suprising to me.
3) Agreed and just from those numbers, I reckon it's pretty safe to say that FF XIII PS3 will outsell the other version in all territories by big gaps. Not saying 360 sales will be abysmal but PS3 will be so much more impressive.
4) I just really hope Sony DOES market and advertise Heavy Rain properly and effectively. I really want Heavy Rain to succeed. And I want WKC to succeed as well since I love it and really want it but then again it's a JRPG without much buzz and even I won't be able to get it until I get FF XIII :D!
5) Haha it really does leave me curious about Dante's Inferno's numbers ^^.
6) That's what I mean. How come BioShock 2 has no hype around it?! I actually predicted that BioShock 2 would have so much buzz but it's got less that Mass Effect 2.
