But, it's just had a surge of growth in the middle of January and it's nearly at a million. It would have to completely drop off within the next few weeks to end up at only 1.5 million, that would be a bizarre sales pattern. It'd be like the first few weeks was everyone who got this game spreading their enthusiasm to others, and then they all suddenly realize it's shit so it stops selling. |
My rationale is that the January surge was due to more extensive advertising on shows like X-Factor (which I've heard it got a big push from). I expect it to die down to more moderate levels from here on. I further expect it to continue to sell in steady numbers based on word of mouth, but that sales will be destroyed when Ubisoft rushes out a sequel to "capitalize" on the game.
Granted there are lots of assumptions there, but I think they're warranted. I could be wrong though!
