Let not this be the one time in 2010 when Pachter is correct in his prediction. Well maybe let him be partially correct on the review scores side.
But I do think people who are hoping for million+ sales might be let down a bit. Looking at all the million sellers, and those that are good games but not million sellers, I see more similarity to the good games not selling a million than games that do sell a million.
I don't know what number Quantic Dream are looking at as being successful sales. Hopefully their break even sales level will be 500K. Surely the game won't have a development budget over $30,000,000. Perhaps the marketing budget will mean it needs to sell 600-700K to make it's money back. That's still doable with good review scores.
