| postofficebuddy said: I honestly think piracy really hurt the previous two games performance in others. Supposedely first shipment to Spain is 120k which should translate to about a 70k-80k first week. Considering that Spain isn't even PS3's strongest territory in Europe I'd say atleast a 500k opening week in others is basically guaranteed and 600k is a possibility. That means that GOW3 could beat GOW2's lifetime others sales of 670k in 2 weeks and GOW1's 710k in 2 or 3. This game will destroy it's predecessors sales by a significant margin. And if the rumor of Canadian first shipment of 225k is true and Canadian first week is 125k-150k than I'd say 1.5 million first week is a certainty. This prediction is looking pretty good. |
Regarding your statement about PS3 strength in Spain.
It's one of the best countries in Europe taking the attachment rate into account. If you talk about numbers, I must point out that Spain's population is about 45.000.000 people, while UK, Germany of France are above 80.000.000. Italy is 60.000.000 also. I'm just talking about the group of UE's strongest countries (where Spain used to be until our president reached the power... now we might not be there anymore).
These are words of peace, I think your statements are correct ^^. I just wanted to point that out :).
BTW: I say GOWIII won't make it to 1 million WW OW. I know numbers say otherwise, but I trust PS3 1st party games no more (concerning sales OW :p, of course). I expect below 1 million Week 1, but strong sales LTD. Above 6 millions I would say.
